You do us a disservice @Lapdog
I refer to your ill informed negative comment about Sri Lanka.
The warm island is a lovely place to live, work and holiday.
Your comment about patrol boats and Tamils is insane.
Most of the population are Buddhist Sinhalese, maybe a quarter Tamil (Hindu) and a few Christian
Anglos, Europeans, and fewer Islamics.
The civil war ended more than a decade ago, and the country is peaceful
except for the muslims.
I have visited a few times, and try and extend my work visa to a fortnight,
so we can enjoy the food, people and scenery.
Buddhists and Hindus are lovely people, and when they
realise you are interested in them, they are too generous.
There is more density of Tamils in the north and east.
I seriously wonder how the patrol boats would hector the Tamil farmers.
As a curiosity, there are fields of tobacco, cannabis and opium poppies too.
We eat in the country food shops, where farm workers sit at trestle
tables.
Most of the food is spicy.
Once they realise you are not from the government,
they are happy to talk.
I always travel with driver/interpreter and near new Toyota
all in cost about $30 a day.
Everyone agrees thank god the war is over - peace.
