THE RICHEST AREA OF COLOMBO SRI LANKA 🇱🇰 

Love from Kerala, India 🥰☺️ May God bless that country overcome situation and people get a pleasant live 🙏😊

I was in Sri Lanka for awhile and it’s amazing!! Very clean and Colombo is amazing, very modern and developed comparing to other developing countries. Also it’s seems Colombo as a whole is the financial city and Sri Jayewardenepura seems to be the capital city and it’s amazing

Sri lanka is one of the richest countries in the world, but unfortunately, the majority of the people are mentally poor , they like free stuff , an effortless life, and never think of going out for the comfort zone, they strongly believe that politicians will have to solve all their problems,yet they want to change the political system of the country but they don't want to change themselves, also they think that there are no any homeless or poor people in rich countries.

Something different for you guys today. Enjoy Colombo 7 ❤

BANGLADESHI PEOPLE love SRI Lanka 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Probably the best Colombo 7 video I have seen so far. You guys did justice to show around some important places. The Arcade used to be a dump sort of a place, neglected and overgrown trees. You got it right, in the colonial period it used to be a Dutch establishment for mentally handicapped. The govt gave it a face lift and transformed to the building you see today.

Guys.. If you go to Peradeniya you can see a very beautiful botanical garden there. It was started during the British colonial rule in Ceylon and attracts thousands of local and foreign visitors. Haggala botanical garden is also beautiful. Your travel videos will inspire all other foreigners around the world to visit Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.

Now Sri Lanka have been like a home for you guys now!!🏠❤️❤️❤️

Lovely country with so much to offer that's for sure💛

Hi guys. it is nice to see that Naomi is pronouncing good Sinhala now. lovely and helpful video.Cheers guys.

You both guys are amazing indeed. Keep exploring our beautiful country to show the world..we appreciate you both for promoting our country Sri Lanka as top tourist destinations. May God bless you both.Keep safe and take care.

Thank you very much for coming to my country and for this beautiful video. Wish you both all the best wishes for future endeavours 🇱🇰

actually your colombo 7 review vlogg is the one of best i'v seen so far, and yes, you are absolutely correct about Colombo 7 area is really full of luxurious shopping before the pandemic than this time , we hope it will rise again more than before exists, and obviously it's pretty expensive to compare than other area but it gives you a quality and luxurious experience with great service, because this area is popular for high profiles in srilanka and it's history.

Fantastic Presentation Thankyou Both of You I am from Colombo God Bless 🙌

Thanks both for bringing lovely videos about my mother land. Love from 🇬🇧 🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰❤❤

Thanks for visiting srilanka 🇱🇰 ..❤❤❤❤

Nice video thanks

Beautiful place to visit😍😍

Two mad explorers indeed! Very Nice 💯

These Colombo 7 streets are super beautiful and super awesome for late evening walks. Gregory's Road is one of my favorites.

🎉yes that’s absolutely right content in colombo 7area welcome to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 enjoy your journey. Yes it’s expensive and lots of humidity surrounding colombo area. Cool 😎

Good one guys.. spot on regarding information 💐💐💐💐

Fun fact: part of the arcade independence Square was an asylum known as the 'Jawatte Lunatic Asylum' prior to refurbishment

Naomi that hairstyle is perfectly made for u.ur so cute today.❤️

Thanks for visiting sri lanka ❤🇱🇰

I really love to have my saturday morning walk around this colombo 7 area❤

Welcome to srilanka❤️❤️ form jaffna 🥰

Peradeniya botanical garden, haggala botanical garden are the most popular gardens in Sri Lanka I think I would be a pleasant experience for you guys to visit those sites

there used to be a narrow gauge diesel train that ran around the park back in the 60s ,70s and 80s. it broke down around the early 90s, no one bothered to repair it, sat for around 2 decades and got scrapped few years ago.

Arcade Independence Square, Used to be an insane asylum built in late 1800s, was abandoned for awhile, renovated and repurposed as a shopping complex in 2014, That place never really caught on as the "place to be" in Colombo. Fun fact, that building is purported to be haunted 😂

You actually hit the nail on the head with the old money and new money comparison. Lot of the people living in Colombo 07 are people with generational wealth, people who eventually end up holding the highest positions in power.

Actually the Independence arcade is located behind Independence square. You could easily visit it at the beginning.

Queen Viharamahadevi was queen mother of one of Sri Lanka's greatest kings..hence the park was named after her. However during the colonial period the park was named after Queen Victoria of England.

Kumbuk is a type of hard wood with a distinct grain. The tables were made of that wood.

If you go to Ratnapura which is the gem city as the name says you will see very beautiful big houses. Then there is a place called lttle Italy. House owners there reside in Italy & only come here for vacations.

Thank you

I love my country ❤️, paradise on this earth 🌎 😍 God bless sri lanka

Thank for your video guys. What are you doing is great 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing video 😍

Good that you got away from the "chief gardener" of the park, though I doubt he even works there. I have seen him in a couple of other vlogs approaching tourists, & to be fair to him he does seem to have a lot of knowledge of plants & trees. But he does demand money at the end.

WELCOME TO COLOMBO.

You can try newly introduced Seethawaka odyssey train❤🇱🇰

Amazing video guys from Rich Sri Lanka Side. Thanks 🙏

Thanks both for bringing lovely videos about my mother land🌾❤❤

63 Park St, Colombo 00200, Sri Lanka Irish Bar & Grill. Nice place to be❤

Thanx for sharing this. Missed this palaces!!!

First of all Thank you for the amazing tour. And so many thoughts came over across my mind and yes some beautiful memories from my past. I used to live that area around 2009-2015 and that was the most peaceful beautiful time in my life. I even downloaded this video. and let me say something about My Lanka and her people. they have amazing potential and all they need is a little guidance and lesser criticizing of each other.🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love Naomis hair style, looks so nice ❤️

I live in Colombo 05 in a gated residence and I’m 29. More or less real estate value is the same even in Col 05. Let me share the financial perspective. My house worth about 400k USD and i inherited it from my father. I could never buy such a house caz the mortgages are like 30%. Salary is USD 3000 per month before taxes which is considered to be a very good salary in SL. In fact I belong to the highest tax paying bracket 36% per year which is insane. Caz im an engineer and my salary is more or less the minimum wage in a developed country but in SL; I belong to the highest tax paying category lol 😂 is it livable / good life ? Not really with the taxes, import restrictions and everything going on. I’m moving out to Australia in March. Bottom line is even though the buildings looks better there isn’t much money even in Colombo 07. However people in the island thinks for some reason it’s a wealthy (in culture ; yes it’s wealthy !) country which was mismanaged by the politicians 😂 but the reality is it never was , and most of the people are stuck in the past to a point where nobody try to do anything new. As a result the economy in the country heavily depends on tourism, even though there are 20 million human beings living in the island !! . However I’m hopeful about gen z as they are much more progressive / practical . Hopefully in like 50 years this would be a much better place ❤️

Thank u so much for promoting our country.

The govt high officials, diplomats, wealthy and fatty politicians are occupying the Colombo.7 area, earlier it was occupied by the elite people and well-educated people, who were brought up by the British standard before Independence. The burgers community left the Colombo 7 area and most of them were settled in Australia. Luckily no one touched Viharamadevi park for urbanizing projects. In fact Colombo was called the Garden of the city in the fifties but everything was destroyed by our Masters of rule makers since independence. Thank you for visiting the lush green part of Colombo.👍

Wooooooooooooow so nice video dear 👌💐

Nice, i havent been inside the park before but driven past it many times. Enjoy the rest of your stay. Glad you got to meet up with Lucy and Lahiru, we enjoy their videos too. 💕

Hi Naomi and Luke. Watched your movies from Sri Lanka now in a stretch. Found this one first then I went to bottom and up, made it to Hikkaduwa one with rain. Will watch them all. Why so interrested? well, I got 2 houses and an annex there, nearby Kottawa. couldnt be there for now 2.5 yrs, due the pandemia. Next xmas I am going to. Bring my hobby and sport there and run around myself. Im married to a SL lady since 18 yrs back and I been on most of the places you been to. The more rare places you been I just have to visit too. Thanks for all the effort and the way you make the videos. The are one of a kind and so enjoyable. Good luck in your travels, exploring and endavours. /Mikie

U shoul checkout the royal college. The best school in Sri Lanka which has the 2nd world oldest cricket series.older than ashes.

I really like this kind of video. Hope some more 🖤

It used to be the most expensive real estare but noq it has dropped about 30%.. Earlier it was going at the rate of 17mn pp You get 15km away from the colombo land value goes around 1 mn pp Basically the houses are worth around 400mn in colombo 7 and in colombo surbarbs it usually averages about 20mn

Hi 👋 well come back 👋

Colombo is beautiful

Thanks for visit our country ❤️

Great content! Very good information! Keep it up!

Sri lanka is very beautiful and clean country 💕

Wow beautiful😍😍

yall walked past my school! 😆😆 it's so cool seeing my hometown through others' eyes

thank you so much this is awesome ♡

35 min - Kurundu Waththa = Cinnamon Garden when translated :D. Cinnamon is the English word for Kurundu :D

Colombo 1-15 just like the 32 boroughs of London. Colombo 7 and some parts of Colombo 8 and 4 (Col 7 borders) are the local version of Kensington and Chelsea. Colombo 01 - Colombo Fort is the local equivalent of the city of London. (the square mile. ironically Fort is also around 1.5sq miles and also the central business district)

Love From Bangladesh

At 35:57 you walk past a blue wall and I saw Musaeus College, an all girls buddhist school, founded by a German lady in the early 1900s! I'm glad for your video to take a walk down memory lane.

Don't miss the good places. Go look some cricket match too

Being a local, watching foreigners filming and talking about our country is always interesting. Mostly it is because of human nature to compare one with another. When one's environment is described by someone else, it offers an opportunity for the first person to dive into the second one's lifestyle.

Enjoy bro lovely

This is very informative.

Thank you so much came to Sri Lanka and congratulations for your success

Enjoy my home town

Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka, Guys. God bless you both.

Thank you guys. Good job.

As a middle class citizen, I'm not sure where I stand in Sri Lanka anymore lol. Great video guys!

Hi, Good to see you both. Enjoy your day, Sending love. Take care.

FYI : Colombo 7 (aka Dehiwala) is literally the Beverly Hills of Sri Lanka Thank you for the video btw. Sending Love and Support from Sri Lanka

Glad you are enjoying our birth country #SriLamka ! One of the coolest places on the planet ! Many famous people like Arthur C Clarke chose to make his home and in fact lived behind my classroom in high school down Rosemead place in Colombo 7. ( also across from the First Woman PM and daughter too ) Try Paradise cafe or simply eat at the hotels or so many pastry shops every block as we stop for tea and we have an array of short eats to cakes! Try a place like Peters and Sons family UWM for over 1/2 a century or Fab! So many eateries like that for affordability and delish!

Super vlog ..thank you for sharing with us

Visit the National Museum of Sri Lanka.🙏🇱🇰❤️

Thanks for visiting my country. May god bless you both .have safe holidays ♥.

Interesting video, well done. Parts of that area look like parts of Denpasar and even Singapore. For some reason it reminded me that quite a few locations in Sri Lanka were used for the filming of the movie 'The Bridge on the River Kwai', including at least one in Columbo. A bit of useless trivia for you. Have you had anyone approach you in a friendly manner who is not trying to sell something? Clearly the people there are generally very friendly so it would be nice to hear that has happened.

Thank you for sharing. Enjoy 👍

There is nice place for Coffee and Food on Reid Avenue called DEPT OF COFFEE, just 500m from KUMBUK.

The voices of both are impressive❤️👍

Before Early 2000's that park was The paradis for lovebirds🤩❤😍 of colombo🤭... And now holding hands, even sitting close together is baned by authorities...🤦‍♂️🙄🤷‍♂️😔

Great videos and for some times I bean trying to read the words of your tattoo 😂 Think I got it today "Memento Mori" meaning "remember you must die"🤔

Nice video,love you guys..🇱🇰

thanks for coming my beautiful country😍😍😍

Lovely video. That service charge is pretty normal anywhere if you dine-in and not take away. Even international franchises like Pizza Hut and McDonald's have it here.

Thanks for visiting srilanka

Please do some five star hotel dinner buffet vedio. Because you do really interesting 😉 ( it's not much expensive like restaurants)
