Dont know if you've come accross this article already. would be quite useful for tourists. Might give you an insight in to our drinking habits plus it lists some of the best watering holes in the country for tourists. Most of these places are great for socializing as well. Check it out.

That's useful!

Sounds like bars/pubs are completely different from UK/US.

Sounds like 'The Fort' is an area that has bars or places that are more similar to what a western might be more familiar with.

I'm still not really sure what all that means, but I suppose someday when I visit, I'll know right away

If you came to Sri Lanka in this week of April(11-17) Sinhala Hindu new year days you may see the effect of Alcohol here. Some people not only drinking it but also bathing

cultural difference indeed. walking around in underwear in public is not in our culture so you're not gonna find much next to nude locals.

Yeah, I can respect that. It is kind of ridiculous, when you think about it.

I mean, westerners would never never dress like that anywhere else, never in a million years. But, for whatever reason, the beach is completely acceptable and commonplace to do so.

Interesting to think about.

Does it offend locals? Or is just something that they would never do, but don't care if the tourist/foreigner does?

 

[twisted]

Yeah Yeah....bla bla.. but you are not welcome here.. Go back to US of Uuhmerrica and troll there..

am I just saying what I think I'm saying....

What's biting me?? Well, for one thing if he is 'white' as he proclaims to be, then he is of the same kind who invaded, colonized and had us under their yoke for over 300 years.

And then he observes the difference in culture with an air of contempt towards ours. I could almost smell it.

Well listen up white boy, take your hip hop trash and americanized trash culture along with you and keep it in your forsaken, rotting cesspool of Uuhmericahhh.
