Galle - Sri Lanka

Advantages: valued experiences
Disadvantages: No

...I am going to explain my experience in Galle. I went on a trip to Galle with my friends. We took "Ruhunu Kumari" train. It was operated through the coastal area. Scenery was so beautiful and we enjoyed very much.The beaches are very beautiful. There were few tourists in the train. You have to realize how beautiful Galle is. You can see fishermen sitting on sticks fishing in the see along the south coast. It is a strange technique of fishing. Nobody knows how this technique originated from. It works as the stilts are attractive sceneries. You can catch a glimpse of the famouse stilt fishermen in the down south. You are lucky as such a sight is nowhere to be found in Sri Lanka. Stilt fishing is famous as a generational occupation among the fishermen with the child taking after father. They make their own stilts on the reef...

Review of Galle (Sri Lanka)

Loads of grace at the old Galle Face

Advantages: colonial splendour, a very welcome retreat from a dirty old town
Disadvantages: Don't be absurd!

...Colombo City is a deranged, dusty, frenetic type of place where large brown cows wander self righteously down the main roads seemingly oblivious to the crazed over stuffed buses and insane tuk-tuk drivers that cross their paths;(while in Sri Lanka I noted with some amusement that while traffic will screech to a halt and patiently wait for cows, dogs and the delightful, lazy monitor lizards to amble at their own pace across the roads, humans receive none of this polite conduct and have to take their own lives in their hands)..............the humidity is breathtaking, like being suffocated by a warm, wet towel, but fear not respite can be had in the form of the grand old colonial hotel "Galle Face". Established in 1864 this is a salute to the old colonial days when Sri Lanka was Ceylon and pale, european ladies perspired gently in...

Review of Galle Face Hotel

One of the most prestigious hotels in Sri Lanka.

Advantages: Extremly Affordable, Very High Standards, Professional Service, Family Friendly Atmosphere, A Secure Place.
Disadvantages: Might not be appealing of you arent into classical stuff.

...Galle Face hotels is one of Sri Lanka's best hotels. First built in the late 1800's Century, and about 200 years later, it still has the old colonial splendor. Walking into the hotel for the first time in my life, the very professional service was what struck me at first. But then walking through those grand doors, it seemed as if I had travel back through time to when the British ruled Sri Lanka. From the furniture to the to the wallpaper, the management has managed to conceal the hotel from our ever changing environment and maintain the classical atmosphere. The atmosphere is not only the best feature. The location adds to the prestige of the hotel. Set by the sea, the hotel's own restaurant , the 'Sea Spray', is the most romantic spot in the hotel. A candle light dinner at this awesome place is the best thing that could happen to...

Review of Eheim E 2229 Wet-Dry (Breath) Tank 132 Galls

How Much!

Advantages: you can get popular crap
Disadvantages: you are paying about £6-£10 more than you have to

...The prices of cd's in any high street music shop is just outrageous. How exactly do HMV justify charging £16 for the first Sheep on Drugs album when it was released in 1992 and has never been very popular. The fact that i can buy the same cd from an independant record shop for £9 and brand new from a record fair for £5 shows what a massive profit HMV must be making and yet they have the gall to claim that 2 cd's for £24 is a good deal. I could probably get 4 or 5 good albums for that....

Review of HMV (Shop)

the squad in sri lanka

Advantages: There for one another
Disadvantages: In pressure situations, will the team hold up ?

...England have found themselves a tenacious and hard working squad who at last have seemed to rally around skipper Nasser Hussain. The addition of Thorpe to the side, following his break from touring , will no doubt be a bonus to Nasser, as he is a proven middle order batsman of the highest quality In Trescothick they appear, at long last to have found someone with the temperament, tenacity and technique capable of keeping company with Atherton. However, despite the best efforts of Gough and Co, they still lack that strike bowler capable of turning games on his own, or a spinner of world quality. Should Croft and Tufnell not develop, it may well be a difficult winter on the mat-like pitches of the colombo and galle....
