Sri Lanka rocks!

I'm still alive :) Internet, though, is not as cheap or fast as it should be, if you move away from the island's west coast.

Highlights from last weeks:
*Arugam Bay offseason-empty perfect beaches;
*Riding a motorcycle on South-East coast, earning a warning shot from a military check point as I didn't pay enough respect to them and racing with a motorbikes' army patrol (where on the last bike was an machinegun-guy in addition to a regular soldier)... surreal!
*Listening to tsunami and civil war's stories from ex-tamil guerilla in Arugam Bay;
*Travelling 150 km in 6 hours and using 3 busses from east coast, Arugam Bay, to the Hill Country - Ella;
*Perfect chillout walks in Ella's mountains;
*10 hours train ride from Ella to Colombo;
*witnessing series of roadblocks and heavily armed police/military checkpoints in Colombo downtown;
*Tourist-season-time Hikkaduwa on westcoast.

I'll write longer about abovementioned things. When I have time :)

5 more days left on the island.
