Well the trip began like any other. Longer flights than anticipated, the struggle to sleep on flights (even as an Asian sized girl in an Asian sized seat) and in flight meals that I couldn't eat. But with a convenient bump into my twin brother as I leave Colombo airport I'm on my way to stay with a local friend in their beautiful house.
Day 1 (Saturday 25th)
Today began with a quick live vid to our sister to say happy birthday from abroad. We didn't get up to much today other than discovering Colombo city and getting the essentials... local sim cards. Walking through a few local shopping centres, catching tuk-tuks to numerous sights and finishing our afternoon in the beautiful Viharamahadevi Park was how the balmy 29 degree day was filled.
Then the adventure that we least expected began as we were picked up from one friends house to head to another's just south of Colombo.
Little did we know we were heading to an all night Buddhist celebration with 50+ other local family and friends.
