I'm in Colombo, the largest and capital city of the island of Sri Lanka. It's a vibrant
-
and colorful city of about 6 million inhabitants. Today, we're going to cruise around and check
-
out a few of the fun things to do around Colombo!
-
The first stop is Pettah, Colombo's largest and most chaotic market.
-
So, I am at the Pettah market right now, which is in the center of Colombo city and I'm about
-
to go check out this hectic market.
-
Ok, guys, I am in the back of a tuk tuk rickshaw in Colombo, Sri Lanka and I'm going on a little
-
tour around some of the famous sites in Colombo.
-
Gangamaraya Temple is not only one of the most important Buddhist temples in Colombo,
-
but it's also a museum that is full of religious relics.
-
On the street just outside the Viharamahadevi Park there are a couple of snake charmers.
-
I'm at Independence Monument in Colombo, it's dedicated to the first Prime Minister of Sri
-
Lanka - and it's a pretty cool site.
-
I happened to be in Colombo during the Hindu Diwali festival, so it was interesting to
-
catch a live ceremony at the Sri Kailasanathar Swami Devasthanam Hindu Temple.
-
On our way to the next stop, we got into a little rickshaw face-off - luckily we came
-
through in first place!
-
After a long hot day of cruising around Colombo, I'm extremely hungry and I'm ready to chow
-
down.
-
Galle Face on the beach is one of the best places for street food in town.
-
I'm about to chow down at Nana fast food - I'm excited, I just ordered up a bunch of different
-
dishes including some fish curry.
-
Let me grab a piece of that and dip it into this fish curry - that's really good man!
-
It's a little bit sweet, spicy, it's nice tasting. And then the Kottu - it's like fried
-
rice made with root. It's wonderful. I can taste the friedness on it, mixed with the
-
vegetables, it's fantastic.
-
Stuffed from a delicious Sri Lankan feast, it's time to jump on a wild Sri Lankan bus
-
and call it a successful day in Colombo!
