Dale Philip - And the guy with the high pitched giggle - That’s so very Sri Lankan. I must say, I was impressed when I saw that no one had meddled with your bag. It doesn’t always happen in Sri Lanka. It’s more likely for someone to take your shoes/slippers at a temple (Which is what happened to my brother-in-law’s Havaianas once.) I really enjoyed your Scottish hotel episode, too. 👏🏽
@@SahanTheMighty Yeah it just seemed to be a couple of families with little kids in that section where I left my bag. I felt like it's not somewhere that thieves are looking to steal from. Not like some big tourist beach which would be easy pickings for them. No idea how I would have gotten back to Colombo with no money and nothing but the wet pair of boxer shorts I was wearing if it did get stolen though..... 🤷♂️
Dale Philip Eeeks. Sri Lanka’s love to help. Most of them are wannabe Red Cross warriors. They would band together and carry you to Colombo on their back if they had to. 😃 I remember walking around Amsterdam for half a day and then realising I had lost my wallet. That was terrifying. I even stopped some cops on bikes for help (Albeit, considering the locality, they probably thought I was high and that’s how I lost my wallet.) After a few minutes of feeling sick to my core, and rushing around to back-track my path, it dawned on me - Earlier that day, I had hidden my wallet in my socks under my trousers 🤦🏽♂️ - Something I sometimes do when I’m in high risk areas. Slightly amusing, and embarrassing at the same time.
@@SahanTheMighty Damn, I also hide money and cards in my socks when I'm in a hotel room that doesn't have a safe. I thought I was a genius but I guess it must be a common hiding place. I'm going to have to think of something different now.... 😂
I love it the way you chat to locals and get to know them. Far better than a lot of vlogs I've seen. In fact better than a lot of tv travel shows. Brilliant. Keep up the good work.
@@ahsannaufer7058 its upto him..whenever he understand or not I didnt tell any bad things about him or about his vlog..these foreign people help us to develope our foreign indrusty which was destroyed by some bastards ..and also sri lankan youngers have a unique qulity ..I talked about that bro.
Love the cheeky banter with the lads! Smut, but all good😂 👍 Love Galle. Why would anyone trade this paradise for any other. You are just as warm and friendly, bud👌. Thank you!
14:30 so true Dale....I live here in the U.K. and look at your vids in Indonesia/Sri Lanka/India etc and especially with Sri Lanka it’s got stunning beaches/great landscape cheap quality food...overall has to be said much better value in terms of lifestyle/scenery etc plus people seem so friendly and not perpetually stressed and frustrated with life like they are over here and west generally!! Great vid mate! 👍😀

This is my absolute favorite vlog!! Haha it‘s soo entertaining I think I rewatched it like 5 times already hahaha especially your convo with those boys made me laugh soo much 😂
Thank you so much. I had a lot of energy that day and was feeling happy because the fort exceeded my expectations and then I ran into those characters haha. You can't plan moments like that. They just happen. :)
When I started watching this my mom was sleeping next to me. I really couldn't control my laughter. My mom even got up putting her specs on and asking " what's so hilarious " when I started wiping my tears. Omg Dale I'm ADDICTED to your accent. When you visit Sri Lanka next time don't forget to visit Meemure. I'm 100% sure that you would love the place. ❤❤❤🇱🇰🏴❤❤❤
I live north of Aberdeen, (Banff), i love your video's, you having a laugh with the guy's in the sea, CLASS, cheers for the effort you put in, i am bing watching all the vids.
You are by far my favorite vlogger Dale! You show my country as it is, without cuts and chops and loads of modifications. Thank you. It is true about the color 😃 My husband is northern Italian for them I am exotic 😂❤️ Cannot wait to go to Sri Lanka once the airport is open. I guess the same for you and many of our friends here in UAE, who are waiting to visit my country. Cheers!!!
The Sri Lanka Flag was introduced in 1978 with a Golden Lion holding a sword. The green represents Muslims, while the yellow recognises Hindus. It really is a cool flag #lovesrilanka
Lion Flag or Sinha Flag, consists of a golden lion holding a kastane sword in its right fore-paw in a maroon background with four gold bo leaves, one in each corner. This is bordered by gold, and to its left are two vertical stripes of equal size in green and orange, with the orange stripe closest to the lion. The lion and the maroon background represent the Sinhalese, while the saffron border and four bo leaves represent Buddhism and the four Buddhist concepts of mettā, karuṇā, muditā and upekshā respectively. The stripes represent the two main minorities, with the orange representing the Sri Lankan Tamils and the green representing Sri Lankan Muslims
You put me in serious trouble mate. I was watching at 32:37 while having lunch 🍱🍴 at the office. 😂😂😂 And still I couldn't finish cleaning food pieces off the laptop!!! 😜😜😜
Dale I really enjoyed Edinburgh castle and the most warm welcome that the people of Scotland gave us. My two sons have just come back from Sri Lanka. Just a answer about the Sri Lanka's flag. It is one of the oldest flags which indicates the three main minority groups: Green for Muslim,orange for Tamil. The lion has been part of the flag since 487 BC when ,prince Vijaya and his retinue came from India. There were advanced native people who had built irrigation tanks prior to vijaya's arrival to save rain water but the tendency has been to elaborate on the Indian visitors and portray natives as under developed.

Hi Dale. One of those guys in the sea (His name is Jayantha) with you was my school class mate (1987-1991). Impatient to see your next video. Enjoy...!!!!!!
Love your Scottish accent here in Canada. And even with train smoke you look lovely. So no worries, it's all good 👍😁 Now for the smooching couples, that was quite cute to see, glad to see they have a lil freedom to just be, as that is considered a very negative thing in families there. Life. Glad to see you had a great time with all the hot ness 😊☁🌞☁☁ C.R.
The reason why restaurants are called Hotels is because when the British ruled, the places you’d go out to get good cooked meals would be in the hotels (as sit down restaurants didn’t really exist). The name Hotel is now associated with restaurants.
Greetings Dale, I just discovered your channel and loving every video in the order that you released them. So far this is truly my favorite. Thank you so much!
Hi just saw this today. You should visit Galle fort in the evening. It's really pretty in the evening and you can watch the sunset too. The shops inside fort they are not so expensive. Thank u for visiting Sri Lanka .❤
