Do you know, for example, that any Sri Lankan can break a coconut, and it’s as easy to them as tying their shoes? It has deep symbolism and can help you in different situations if you believe in it. Gonna travel around Sri Lanka? Before you request a room, make sure the “hotel” you’re at even offers sleeping accommodations! Yep, not every hotel in Sri Lanka is a place you can sleep at! But you'll definitely get a smile and a menu there. Speaking about food, Sri Lankan moms see cooking as their privilege and will wake up at 5 a.m. to make lunch-to-go for every family member!
