Empilipitiya, Sri Lanka

Bodhiraja Temple.

This hugh pot is made from a lorry tire. Couldn’t imagine such item can be made out of a tire.

Spent 2 nights in the hostel in the far end of Bodhiraja International College. It was about 200m from the main gate. No street light, no fan, all alone.  Only 3 rooms were occupied including mine. I was sweating like bathing during bedtime.

Spot the unusual. Its quite obvious. So now you know the alternative if you don’t have an umbrella in hand.

Couldn’t have lunch in a better place. In the middle of the forest, foot of the waterfall. We dashed uphill back into the forest when the heavy rain came pouring shortly after. Luck.

Orphanage visit. These kids aren’t as fortunate, but the good thing is, they have real good energy in them! High flying and cheeky! Under the care of a German volunteer and 2 locals.

And finally, introducing Jimmy.

I missed out shots in the hotsprings. It was fantastic but too bad, left the cam in the hostel. Visited the tsunami project site aided by several societies in Singapore, but no interesting sights.

Well, Sri Lanka isn’t a popular tourist attraction, but if you are a nature-lover, this country is absolutely wonderful. Well, I do not know much about the history of the country, but i do know Sri Lanka achieved most recognition and victories in cricket, but volleyball is the national sport. By the way I am picking up cricket now.

I will be planning for a second trip.

Cheers!
