Thanks Lyka, hope you get a chance to visit – it’s a beautiful country!
I heard rumors about security issues in India and Thailand, does it feel any different in there than most of times.
I`m planning to visit Sri Lanka next month, guess I`ll go to Jaffna as well.

Hey Miz,
Yah, there have been some recent security issues, but on ground level, things still feel the same to me. Yah, I’d definitely recommend visiting Jaffna when you visit Sri Lanka!
Fantastic video I wish I had a plate of paratha in front of me right now. I especially loved the goat head-butting scene toward the beginning.

An awesome part of Sri Lanka I recommend people take the time to explore? I loved exploring here back in 2007 amazing people with a rich culture. Greet video Mark!
Thanks for watching Kel!
The goat scene is abit scary but the video is very good. And a good point on the expected dress codes from an earlier comment
Thanks for watching Robert! Jaffna is such an interesting destination to visit!
Loved watching the video. Wood apple cream is my favourite drink, usually the pulp from the ripe woodapple is mixed with coconut cream and sugar and the seeds are sieved (can be diluted to suite your taste).
Wow, that sounds delicious Shiyamala! I didn’t get to try that, but I would love to! Thanks for watching my video.
THANKS for this nice Video and the Photos.
