Sri Lanka – the people

People always say how nice the people of Sri Lanka are.

Bullshit.

I found each and every one of them a complete asshole.

No, that is a lie.

I liked them.

They’re super.

People from hot places that aren’t over crowded are often the best, as they are so relaxed.

Sure they don’t always turn up when you need them, or give you all the info that you need, but it all works out.

So here are my favourite picks of the people of Sri Lanka.

This is some special riding.

My dad waved at these people, the dad looked suspicious, the little girl was confused, and the last girl got ready for her close up.

Look at how stylish this Monk was.  Dude is enlightened, and he knows it.

This is the best face I have ever seen.  I hope he knows it.

My uncle and his Sri Lankan doppelganger.

I love how this guy seems to be auditioning to model in a jean’s ad.

She was being given a speeding fine.

Now I get the sarong.

But of all the people in Sri Lanka we spent time with, none were as cool as Tissa.  He was our driver, and a top bloke. Bonza, even.  So here is my favourite picture of him.  The backstory of this photo was that we got him a ticket to the Sri Lanka Vs India match, it was the first cricket game he had ever been too.  I took this photo as he was telling us about it.

There are obviously heaps more, but you can see them on flickr if you feel the need.
