Sri Lanka is my #1 favorite paradise location. Primarily because of the beauty of Mirisa Beach, the best food in the world for me (tied with Trinidad), kindest people and the fact that there aren't too many tourists.

@carolynboston9715 9 месяцев назад

I love Sri Lanka. Was there five years ago, and was impressed as well. and yes I agree, it's more like SE Asia than India. Those big lizards actually are the same ones you see in Bangkok's Lumpini park. There are so many of them there and looks really creepy, but people say they are harmless.

Would you say you prefer Sri Lanka or Thailand more? I was just recently in Thailand, and I met few people there who were speaking highly of Sri Lanka.

How would you say Sri Lanka compares to Thailand, like scenery-wise, food-wise, friendliness, etc? I recently was on motorcycle trip around Thailand a couple months ago and I ran into a group of people who had just come from Sri Lanka and they were absolutely raving about it, saying it is one of their favorite countries. It really peaked my interest, and made me want to visit.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 9 месяцев назад

I'd say it's quite similar in a general sense. Different language, different people, different food but the rainforest and beaches are similar, same religion and the general atmosphere feels a lot like both Thailand and Indonesia.

As a Sri Lankan, I personally have no problem at all with the use of reggae music in these Sri Lankan videos. Reggae is huge in the south of Sri Lanka (where you are currently) - you will hear reggae music in beach restaurants, etc along the southern coast of Sri Lanka, and you will see tuktuk drivers and beach boys in locs (the hairstyle), tuktuk drivers listening to reggae with their tuktuks decorated with Bob Marley pictures, etc. "One Love restaurant" that you saw proves that haha. The non-reggae music you used in this video is good too, it matches the relaxed vibe of Sri Lanka, please keep using that kind of music because it makes me feel like I am right there on a sunny Sri Lankan beach! Your videos have been really enjoyable, keep going :)

Explane SRI LANKA Sri Lanka, an island nation in South Asia, is known for its diverse landscapes, including tropical beaches, lush forests, and scenic mountains. It has a rich history, with influences from various cultures, including Indian, Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The country's official languages are Sinhala and Tamil, and it's famous for its tea production and ancient cultural sites such as Sigiriya and the city of Kandy. Sri Lanka gained independence from British colonial rule in 1948 and has a democratic government. Sri Lanka boasts stunning natural beauty, with a diverse range of landscapes. The country is renowned for its pristine beaches, surrounded by turquoise waters, palm trees, and coral reefs, making it a paradise for beach lovers. Inland, you'll find lush rainforests, rolling hills covered in tea plantations, and scenic waterfalls. Sri Lanka's central highlands, including the picturesque town of Ella, offer breathtaking mountain vistas. The island is also home to an abundance of wildlife, with national parks like Yala and Wilpattu teeming with elephants, leopards, and various bird species.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 9 месяцев назад

Perhaps you didn't understand my explanation in the video. Yes, there is Sri Lankan music on the internet. But it must be copyright free music that I find on the website I use to download almost all the music that is featured in my videos. When I searched for Sri Lanka I didn't find any Sri Lankan music. I don't want to use other sources of music on the internet because I I don't know for certain if they can be used in a RU-vid video and also whether their status might change at some time in the future. So it's a matter of finding music within the service I use which is Epidemic Sound.

Demonetizing a video if copyrighted music is used seems like a really stupid business move by youtube, why not give the rightsholders a bit of the revenue instead??

@GabrielTravelerVideos 9 месяцев назад

I agree. You might have thirty seconds of the video in which there's a pop song playing in the background somewhere you happen to be filming or a street musician plays a copyrighted song, then RU-vid flags it and the whole video gets demonetized for the creator and all the profits go to the owner of the song that played for thirty seconds. It's a wacky system. So you just have to try and avoid all popular music, even if it's only playing in the background somewhere.

Very smart tourist network in Sri Lanka, clean infrastructure and an overall vibe, I think due to a small country and not as an overflowing population vs India, I was there near Colombo in 2016, a wonderful leftover from British time, huge house and garden with that British raj ambience, but the places you are showing are more western tourist accommodation judging from how many rooms for rent are available, also what you are showing reminds me of Kerala, especially the Kovalam beach area, great fun to revisit thanks

Sri Lankan music trend: Radio Ceylon with their improvised transmitter (from a captured U-boat during WWII) set the trend for South Asia including all corners of India. I could catch it from West Africa. They followed world charts. When Kiu Sakamoto’s sukiyaki hit the US charts we heard Blue Diamond (Indonesian band) version on same year. And when Rocco Granata’s Marina hit European charts they were playing it too. You can play any music to suit without any fear.

Of course, the Pina Colada was created in Puerto Rico, considered the rum capital of the world, and home of maybe the most famous rum Bacardi. Ski Lanka has a lot of competition in that region of the world and when it comes to tourism it doesn't get the same attention as other well-known places. Hakuna Matata leave your worries behind.

Wow! Unawatuna has changed since I was last there (stayed several times in the 1990s). The road down to the beach was just a dirt track (which turned to mud in the rain!) and it was mainly guesthouses and small hotels (no more than two storeys, and definitely no pools). The sand seems wider now - at high tide it almost disappeared in one section. I wonder if the tsunami changed the profile of the beach, shifting the sand around? Sad to see the huge hotel… Unawatuna was very much a simple, laid back place with no frills.

I was going to say that the only arak that I know tastes like licorice. I can't imagine that working with passion fruit. :)
