I know most Sri Lankans do not appreciate the beauty of Sri Lanka. They think about boring greenery and everlasting hot, humid weather. But reality is much different. I've met foreigners who praise the beauty of Sri Lanka, say an emerald island with everlasting summer. The same goes with the people; you should refer to old biographies that talk about Sri Lankans. I've had this memory that some German authors say that Sri Lankans have the same facial features as Europeans; the only difference is the skin color. I've seen tons of people who have the same facial features as Hollywood stars but different skin tones. But our people don't appreciate the beauty.
