Having spent a couple of months living and teaching in Sri Lanka, I feel I got to know the country quite well during my time there. When not teaching over the weekend, I would set out with friends to explore what this amazing country had to offer. In short I feel in love with Sri Lanka and [...]
…. I’M IN A GLASS CAGE OF EMOTION!!! That’s it, all done at travelers, one more night then off to Thailand. Don’t think I’ve ever been this nervous about anything, actually feel quite sick … but I doubt you wanted to know that. Just said goodbye to Samie, she’s off home and now I’m on [...]
Hello once again ladies & gents, boys and girls. As I sit writing this, watching rangers score a last minute winner over Cardiff (had to get that in! It was on TV too so everyone could see it, HA!) … I am once again back in Ja Ela, having arrived back in Sri Lanka yesterday [...]
