we use people's bank here and not other banks as it does not work with us - greetings from germany to sri lanka
i downloaded offline sri lanka map and pick me when i needed transport. Cool country indeed, almost 1week here and i have nothing to complain so far. Sorrily we have black out this evening haha for 5hrs i think? but now happy nights again, power is back
You can't really complain that every countries are not like western countries. What's the point of traveling if it's same everywhere with Sephora, Supermarket, etc? Same about the food habits, different country, different diet, different fruits/veggies...
You are so negative about everything ,Sri Lanka is a fabulous place, there will be rough and smooth patches as there is all over the world.
We have travelled there many times and never had an issue with ATM machines or hot water. Infact we have never had any real problems.
It's wonderful to see livestock on the roads.
We live in Sydney but decided to get married in Sri Lanka…. Just had the most awesome time. Definitely can recommend it
I’ve been too Sri Lanka 9 times over the years and I have never had a problem taking money out of ATM,s and the supermarkets are very well stocked with quality items. It’s like you were just looking for something to be negative about.
Common guys, complaining about hot water on a warm tropical island?, most locals dont use it , because theres no need for it, Apart from the cooler hill regions.
Not even common , to travel means you have your eyes open , travel is not about spending all your time on social media complaining , I lived in this country and I can tell you the vast cuisine the vast culturally mix makes this country a beautiful place . If you travel with an open heart and open mind you are better off .. the people need to be more open especially the so called westerners who actually think they come from first world countries .. .
They haven’t got the money to travel in luxury and they expect the red carpet treatment. 😂😂😂
@@Wildskatz 😦😆😆😆
What i get from this is that "Digital Nomads" are better off their digital nomad enclaves like Phuket, Canggu which have abundance of hot showers, smoothie bowls, burgers, WiFi, cosmetics and gourmet food shops and psuedo spirituality and leave the great travel destinations to travellers who just simply want to immerse in local culture without drones and cameras
I love this comment. This vlog is an irritating watch because they don't seem to want to know the local culture, but just be hipsters abroad exercising their white privilege to moan about not having everything they're used to in a country that's not their own.
Haha, Love the comments. I am watching this from Sri Lanka and I just the other day withdrew money from am ATM in the most remote place between colombo and digana. Hot showers at 30 degrees? Groceries? Both seem well intended, but some of the comments really made me chuckle, because if how naive they come across.
Thanks for visiting our country, Sri Lanka. By the way, guys you have put a caption to this video as 'Don't travel to Sri Lanka'. I think these words would discourage the future visitors to the island. So, it's better if you can put another caption to it.
Agreed!
yepp
Only care about their views
I had no problems with the ATMS. Travelled from Scotland. Not once did I have a problem.
Yesterday we had three atms that run out of money. But tuktuk driver helped us solve the problem. It was also a nice way to explore the city a little bit. Payed the helpful driver some extra. My wife is born in Sri Lanka. It’s my second visit. Love the country and culture.
Navigating Sri Lanka is like exploring a tropical theme park - from cultural attractions to wildlife safaris, every corner is a new adventure. Just remember, in Sri Lanka, even the monkeys seem to be enjoying the lush greenery, possibly planning their own Instagram takeover! This has one of the many countries in Asia that is definitely on the list of my personal bucket list. Hopefully, one of these days, my travel dart would land and hit on this!
Mandy, I’m Sri Lankan-Canadian myself. SL does miss the 1st world comforts such as having the ability to get in the car and go to a Shoppers (Drug Mart) or Sephora to pick up all of your toiletries and some - or meats and cheese at a grocery store. SL is not there yet and maybe they may get to that place one day. I’m not sure if I’d want them to be that way though. I wouldn’t want my place of birth to lose its soul. Its soul is its beauty. The sense of happiness I feel when I’m there I don’t always experience in Toronto. I do wish country to do better economically so its people don’t suffer - they have for too long. One can be happy with less. You don’t have to have everything the 1st world has to be happy. Less is more!
Good luck in your travels.
Its soul is its beauty! Well said totally agree. 💙💜🩵
Err... Cargill's , Keells , Spar, Aprico, Laugfs, Glomark ... Mega Chains scattered across the country .. what the hell r u talking abt 😮
I can see that youve nit been to the country in tge past 15 years😂😂
@@LionKing-md5km I have - my last visit was in 2017. I know what she means though, thus my philosophical response. People in Canada and US are spoilt by the abundant choices available to them. For instance, if I want grass fed prime rib steak, I walk into a grocery store 10 mins down the road 11 at night, boom there it is. If Mandy wants high end eyeliner from Sephora, she walks into any major mall, whoop there it is. These are 1st world choices. To be frank, If one has those kind of expectations when visiting emerging countries, they shouldn’t be travelling at all. I know Sri Lankans who will never think of relocating permanently for these same reasons.
@@Gordi_B Thats their food what they eat they have it. You cant find a king coconut there when they want😂
Strange comments about ATMs and Supermarkets
I never had any issues across Sri Lanka
In terms of Supermarkets Cargills are everywhere but they aren't the best
Keels or Spar is more or less like Coles or Wollies 😅
Cargills is like BI-Lo ( if anyone remember) I guess
Seems like an old video since the power cuts were mentioned
They must have some weird card. I've never had issues with my Australian Visa cards.
Seems to be a very special card. Complaints about supermarkets and 'spicy food' in countries like Sri Lanka/ India where bland food is totally unknown, seems also ' very special'. If you intend to go to places like Dambulla, Sigiriya (so awesome, walk up to this mountain with a pool on top) Kandy, Polonnaruwa ( highly recommended), better take a taxi/ book a Sri Lanka tour. This tuk tuk renting may be funny but could be rather exhausting for longer time/ longer distances. And yes, it's for sure advisable to bring your toiletries to Asian countries since - if available - they are mostly much more expensive than in your home country. Esp. when traveling with these huge suitcases mentioned in the advert, you have enough space for toiletries 😉. Great that you folks could enjoy the wonderful nature and the beautiful people of Sri Lanka❤
LMAO “there’s no Sephora” thankfully there is no Sephora! That’s what makes these places better than the devolved countries
Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka. Sri Lankans are so proud of their country and culture and want tourists to come to Sri Lanka. I was there for two weeks and not a single blackout. Things have improved.
@ 14:57 "A lot of people are vegetarian here etc" . Not really , nearly all Sri Lankans eat sea food, which makes them at the least pescatarian not veggies. I would say less than 5% are pure vegetarian.
Very true
Even though, they're not all vegetarian, the majority eat more vegetarian food than meat-based dishes.
@@grimoirehe4rtthat's not the norm though. Some people eat a vegetarian diet around religious holidays or events, but the majority of the population is definitely not vegetarian. Sri Lankan seafood dishes and chicken curry are household staples!
@@bkilpatrick5828 I never the opposite. I said it's normal for a Sri Lankan household to have more vegetarian dishes than meat-based.
Hey, This is a traveler from NZ and this is what I can tell about the points/complaints they made.
1) ATMs - Used an international ATM card from NZ and never had any issue. Almost all the ATMs in SL accept Visa/Master, Cirrus..etc.
2) Food - Of course, they use spices in almost everything. It would have been pretty boring if they only use salt & pepper.
3) Renting a tuk tuk - Can't comment on this one as we hired a car.
4) Hospitality - It's undoubtedly one of the finest. You can never complain on that and like many other third world countries SL also has scammers who try to rip off the foreigners.
5) Groceries - Well, you are in South Asia. Don't expect the comfort or luxury you had back in your country. They have number of super market chains and you can buy pretty much everything (necessities) under one roof.
6) WiFi -I can agree. WIfi is terrible.
7) Hot water - Come on. You are in the heart of the tropics and you need hot water.? :D
8) Wild life - Try not to trigger them. Follow the guidelines given by authorities and the locals. Simple as that. Anyway, Tuk tuk is not the safest vehicle to save your life against an elephant.
9) Police - Tourists rarely have issues with cops.
10) Uber - Didn't used them during the time in SL. But I recommend to stick with Uber or any other app based taxi service providers so that it will reduce the chances of getting ripped off by the tuk tuk drivers.
11) Crime & safety - SL has it's own problems. But it's sometimes safer than major cities from the developed world.

Not only food city, we have many different groceries if you wanna shop. Keels, arpico, laugh, glomark, spar etc. U need to do more research than this when u travel foreign country. Enjoyed your videos 👍
Agree, I don’t how they missed KEELS which has massive supermarkets.
yeah keels and arpico, very near to my area and we use navigation so we wont be lost. - greetings from germany and now in sri lanka. Hospitable people indeed
Thanks for sharing loved following your trip and we are already looking forward to our visit to Sri Lanka soon ❤
The caption says don't travel? I think it's a beautiful place.
Looks fun for sure! Thanks for the TIPS!
Actually, the United States is probably the most dangerous developed country around. I’m from the USA and I no longer go to places with big crowds and I also never sit with my back to the entry door plus I always look for a second exit. There has been too many mass shootings throughout the country to where I no longer feel at ease the way I use to.
Do you still wear a mask everywhere you go?
Ahh so sorry to hear that you had so many problems with your bank we always went to Bank of Caylon (BOC) and it worked every time! I'm not sure if it's our card or something but it worked for us!
we always use people's bank because when we tried other bank like what you said ceylon, it does not work or maybe depending to the bank? card from our bank
As for grocery stores n supermarkets...theres so many such as SPAR, Keells, Glomark, Arpico, Cargills and Laughs.....wish u guys just asked a local from where u could shop
SUPER helpful, thanks!
We are really struggling in Canada too, government is just ripping us off too, last 2 years we paid 60 K in interest alone, be happy you guys got a chance to travel beautiful island ,,,😢
Great Vlogs, guys! Mandy wild elephants are not pest. They have lost their habitat due to deforestation. If you read about the number of elephants that gets killed in a year, it's shocking.
Great tip about renting a tuktuk! I ride a motorbike in Indonesia but it's tricky sometimes strapping the bags on. Having some spare space and weather cover sounds brilliant!!
Loved this! Thanks so much for the heads up on the ATM and money situation! Where to next? Cant wait to see your next adventures! I have loved this Sri Lanka series…going there in March 24!
Theres no issue with Atms n money over here....these backpackers keep spreading all sorts of bs online about Countries without doing any reseach ...
absolute garbage about ATMs, never had an issue using my NZ or Australian issued cards
ATMs work.
Thank yoy guys coming for srilanka... much love 💓🤗
thank you guys for sharing positive and negative things you felt during the stay in our country to the whole world....And come again to sri lanka, go to the village areas you will feel more hospitality than the cities... Because the people are busy in the cities... Good luck both of you...!!!
Cargills Food city chain is the most spread out in the country. But Keels, Spar, Arpico, Glowmark ect are much better quality chains.
I'm half way through this and wonder if you did any research before arriving in SL....can't believe u advising on spicy food!!! Can't watch any more sorry
Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka guys. Loved your video.
ATMs normally accept all cards. Better to check out the ATMs near the bank itself. Not sure really what happened there btw. Sometimes the card issuer bank gateways put blocks taking money out. Nothing to do with ATMs.
Guys Cargills is not the only food city option here. You have Keells, SPAR, Glomark, Laughfs supermarkets spread all across. Also there are many mini supermarkets.
Most of the SL folks are not vegetarians guys. You can find enough and more meat in any of the supermarkets.
Cafe Wifi, yeah agree it's sometimes good and sometimes bad. Depends on the place. There are very cheap internet connections from Dialog and Mobitel if you are here to work.
Wild elephants are wild guys. Wherever they meet you. Dont expect them to shake hands with you.
Anyway thanks a lot for checking out our amazing country. Hope you will visit us again.
Love SL I keep coming back for more! Wonderful place. Like a second home. I live in Ireland so it’s a great escape and cheap
The dates of your travel in the island would have been helpful considering the numerous hiccups of economic crises that have plagued the island in recent years, which may explain many of the negative experiences.
Oh my Lord i think you're the only tourist who had so many complaints about Sri Lanka. My thought is you should travel to Asian countries, because these countries are still developing.
They’re deliberately kept poor because of corrupt countries like hers actually.
Thanks for your generous words. 🙏
As a Sri Lankan I watched all of your Sri Lankan series and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's one of the best.
Oh Mandy! We Sri Lankans love Canada too.. we once knocked you people out for the lowest one day cricket total 🤣
Nowadays people had forgotten that 🇨🇦 & 🇱🇰 enjoyed a close relationship several decades ago and Canada was so generous towards us that Canada gifted us several train engines in 1950s, which were named after Canadian provinces and Cities to honour them, like Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Montreal etc... and most of them are still running like demons. One of them had pulled the train that hit by the boxing day tsunami.
So, we love 🇨🇦 more than you think ❤
Come back again to 🇱🇰
Best wishes for your future ❤❤
In Sri Lanka most of the electricity is made by hydro power, during the dry season reservoirs go dry forcing power cuts.
Hi, many of your comments are incorrect. Let me correct them so viewers understand what to expect and that you don't discourage people from visiting this beautiful Island. Btw, Im from Pakistan, and I can honestly say, Sri Lanka is one of the best and most memorable trips I ever had in my life. Yes it will be different than other WESTERN countries, so its important not to have the same expectsions, you are not visiting USA and highly vain countries so you will not find a SEPHORA:
1 - FOOD: Food is not all spicy like the lady said. This is completely incorrect. And the food is absolutely delicious and even if you don't have spice there is PLENTY of flavour (you misrepresented that here), you have try different places to get a sense of the food. rice/curry, kottu Rotis, Pittu, String hoppers, Vaddde, crab, tea etc etc, (there is so many to try I cant even scratch the surface here). I think these foreigners tried one place and is basing their whole experience on it....
2 - RENTING A TUKTUK. Honestly, there is no point doing this. Im not even sure why you would bother?
Ay, thanks for the upload guys! We r planning our trip soon. One thing, did you need to have any international license or any other documents to drive a tuktuk or scooty?
Thank you so much for visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Hey
Cam from Australia here, thanks for the info on Sri Lanka, the wife and I are travelling there in a few months.
Also cheers for the luggage heads up, I’ve tried getting online but the postage to Aus i crazy, any chance you know where I can buy from Aus?
Cheers
Thanks, guys, and some valuable advice. I'll be there in mid-November. Oh, I'll also be renting a tuk-tuk too! Did you get the automatic?
I went to Kandy in 2022, had no problems using any of the ATMs. The people are so welcoming & friendly.
Found your blog very negative...
As a tea lover did you find a Sri Lankan one that you loved? Sounds like travelling in Mozambique, Malawi… tomatoes, lettuce, onions, garlic, chilli & fish or goat. But hey, when in Rome! And of course they don’t get the first world grade 1 produce!!
Lovely respect 🙏
Hey guys, thanks for your awesome videos on Sri Lanka. Amazing that you enjoyed. I am actually on my way..probably be there around 48 hours 😊or so. You mentioned something re Internet speed. If you are someone starve for Internet like me, get a local Sim with a unlimited data upload/download is low speeds. But 5G and the reception is prety awesome around the country. 😊
You get what you pay for just as anywhere else in the world. There are many 5 star luxury hotels in Sri Lanka. It’s pretty stupid to complain the lack of luxury when you haven’t got the money to pay for it really. 🤷🏻♀️
I have always dream to live in a place like that
Thank you for this
Me and my wife are there for a month in April
The tuk tuk rental is something we didn't know but would definitely like
We see they do manual and automatic
The automatic ones are electric
Is this an issue with recharging
Do you think the ATM issue happened because of foreign currency exchange? After the economic crisis, there were heightened restrictions on foreign currency transactions so dunno if that is what created issues. If I'm not mistaken, they restricted the amount per transaction as well. Otherwise, usually any ATM within a Cirrus network bank work quite OK. Usually, within more urban cities there's no issue but sometimes in cities outside Colombo, it's a little difficult. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Thanks for tips .I'm traveling to Sri Lanka on Saturday for a month .
How was it?
@@thetallestdwarf7041 was amazing! My favourite country. I'm definitely going to go back .
1. ATMS are reliable not sure what ur yappin about blud; was in SL last year around the same time dec 15- Jan 25th. Apple Card worked fine, atms worked fine as well
2. Spice level? Really lol not even gonna dive deep on this, a simple “ no spicy” would do the trick.
3. You don’t need to rent a TUK, any tourist knows that pick me is valid.
4. WiFi speeds do suck, if your a digital nomad maybe head down south. Has way better speeds.
5. Hot water, yes I do agree it’s a hit or miss even in a tropical country the water isn’t that warm. Not much feedback here, I had to deal with the same thing.
6.
Come to SriLanka guys 🇱🇰🖤
I love you guys ♥️
Thanks for the video! One question. My wife and I will go in April and want to do Negombo - Sigiriya - Polonnaruwa - Kandy - Eliya - Ella and SW beaches. Would the Tuktuk thing work for the whole road trip or is it too much for any of the distances? Would you instead rent a car or use Bus? Thank you in advance!
I'm in the country now and personally would not feel safe driving a tuktuk that distance. They are super slow over hills and unstable turning, and questionable traction in rain. Do you drive your car back home without a seatbelt? A tuktuk is worse, as you have metal all around you, not designed with safety in mind whatsoever and almost no protection from anything, so if you get in a collision with a bus or something significant you probably won't survive. Drivers are totally nuts and go in the opposite lanes all the time. So, limiting usage to low-traffic, lower-risk, lower-speed areas is what I'd suggest, if you place value on your life. There's a good train system and everything is cheap, including taxis, so its actually already easy to get around. I think everyone who rents and doesn't have an accident recommends it, but I doubt those who have had accidents or have been killed recommend it.
ok it is great to rent a Tuk Tuk for the entire time, but what did you do with your luggage and how did you left it in the tuk tuk?
Thanks for coming to Srilanka..
Not only food city,there have keells,arpico all over the country. Also i notice u guys searched coke zero in regular shops.its not possible.only in supermarkets.
Than you for visiting srilanka. It seems that your card and the account having some issues that it reject in most of the ATM's.
Could you share details on taking our own drone there? I did not get much pointers about taking a drone along.
LOL when you said they couldn't careless if we were Canadians....how so i am curious because i am canadian and we always think we are being loved when canadians travel abroad!
My ‘go to’, favorite tea is Organic Green tea from Japan.
Yeah yeah yeah I have done three suitcases in three years and they were claimed the best
Fantastic series on Sri Lanka 😎😎👌
Mmm it can't be normally working ATMs, Have you check with a bank helper to withdraw money
4:22, I loooove Lloyd's widow's peak!
I was in Colombo,Negombo and most ATM work. I was able to take out £250
Where is that beach @1:00 into the video?
If your renting from a local where does your travel insurance sit
do i need my driving license for that?or international license or no license requyired? i dont have any of them
Maybe start considering bringing cash around with you☺
First do some research about a country before you visit...
Not sure where you went for toiletries, the wayside shops are like some dollar stores or shops in up North in very small towns I just came back from SL. There are enough toiletries. Cargill's Food city and Keels are everywhere and also Aprico. Every town has them not in villages. You don't have to carry them from wherever you are travelling from Also I changed some money at one of airport Banks first if the ATM is not working go into a bank and get money. There are enough different banks. Bank of Ceylon Sampath Bank Peoples Bank HSBC Commercial bank etc etc. Any bank is good. You just walk in and ask a teller you need to get money from your card. They will help you.
Is the scenery worth seeing???
Thank you, loved tge series
Never had hot water when travelling and always carried a torch. Loved this vid. Hope you head up north for some more culture.
Yoiu have both done a great job with this series,,,Well done to you both keep up the great work
God bless you .
I understand backticks, but overall it is really worth to what you pay,
I think this couple wasn’t exchange money early, and they tried Lowcost options, then obviously can’t expect five start comfort in any country,
Bcs I know by experience of living in Canada for 15 years
I just found your channel! I get to Sri Lanka on Tuesday 😊😊. Good to know about the ATMs, we had issues with that in Vietnam using our Canadian cards!! Great content 😊. Also Mandy, I don't want to assume...but are you from NL? I hear the twang every now and then 😊 lol!! Happy travels 😊😊
Srilanka ❤❤❤😮
Hi Mandy. I was wondering why are you holding an Oreo cookie in your hand all the time. Please explain. Thanks.
Hot water? We strive for cold water dudeess😂😂😂😂😂
Complaining complaining always is this what Nomads do 😮it’s your choice to visit this country No one wanted you here immerse into its rich culture food beaches wildlife hills local produce great tea unclaimed wonders people around and stop complaining will make you two better nomads after all you get paid putting up contents you not doing it for free if you continue this way sooner or later you going to have 0 followers and always remember you choose to come here so just accept and go with the follow or say goodbye to your TH-cam channel altogether Disappointed and disgusting hearing to two this way I hope a lot would agree with me Life is short and to be enjoyed so embrace it or walk away !!!!
From the caption of the the Vlog and till the end its a list of complaints. Blackouts, yes. Its possible. But having a generator and no power for 20min, unbelievable. Sri Lanka is a tropical country, hot and humid. Cold shower is the best option and the water is not cold as in Canada. ATM issue, first time I have seen this kinda comment travelling all over the city to get cash from an ATM. Wonder which card you guys are using??? Negative comments are always welcome if they are really valid. But with a negative mindset, it is a different story. Anyway, thank you for visiting Sri Lanka and glad you felt the friendlyness and the hospitality of the people which you will not get in another country even you pay a higher price!
Not even in their country of origin
This was a really great wrap up guys. We visited Sri Lanka in 2017 and the economy was struggling then as well, it’s sad to hear that is still this way. Such an underrated, friendly country. Wish we had known about hiring a 🛺. We hope to return one day. Can’t wait to see what is next 🌴
Tbh the economy was booming at the time u came in 2017 with record number of tourists as well....the Easter bombings n Covid kinda destroyed the economy.
I can’t imagine, why you keep trying to tap and pay, if tht your foreign credit card is not working
And both of you, selected low cost options, then pls pls don’t complain
I think it's a pre-requisite to have money in your account before you try to withdraw it through an ATM.
❤❤
You might be the only people who had problem with atm
Lots of negative comments i actually think sri lanka was one of the best vlogs youve done. Less indulgent and found it very down to earth with all the ups n downs. 😊
one thing I found Sri Lanka does not have are swimming trunks. For a country which is surrounded by mostly beautiful beaches!
What currency to use in Sri Lanka? As they're remaining bankrupt?
Sephora in Sri lanka 🤣
Maybe in Colombo you'd find these at malls. Don't expect make up in the villages lol
Haha they go to experience what the country has to offer, and then look for makeup? Next time don't travel outside a Capital city of any country stay in a Five Star Hotel, and visit Malls.
Lived in the Philippines blackouts common place
❤
You need a few days of pure relaxation.. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.
What camera plus other equipment do you guys use when you make vlogs?
Thank you so much for visit Sri Lanka in this really hard time. we love you! come back!
