Greetings Elekirians (sp?),

I recently came to Sri Lanka from Canada for an extended stay (possibly longer) and was wondering what there is to do in and around Colombo?

Don't have too much free time (decided to get a job out of boredom ;) but on the odd off day what is there to see and do? Any places that come recommended?

Not really looking for the 'tourist places' but just average stuff since everything is kinda new for me here I suppose :P

Anyway zat is all, thanks in advance
