BUDDYMOON DAY 376/1000 (VLOG 102)
After being in India for a month, we headed down south to a new country called Sri Lanka. We landed in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka where our adventures began.
As we did not do much research on the country before coming here, we decided to walk around Colombo and just see what the city had to offer. We heard that Colombo is home to Asia's tallest free-standing tower, so, of course, we had to go to the very top.
We also tried some food by Galle Face Beach and then saw a snake, yes... a snake. It was not an ordinary snake but a python and a Cobra, this is where Leanne got a little brave and decided that she would like to hold it.

Very clean. We were so impressed 😊
😂😂😂😂
Bye Bye Buddymoon from India. Do visit again.

We made so much content in India so we just needed to catch uo😊 We will be posting 4x a week to catch up to real time 😊 so enjoy the content overload.
Must vist india wagah attari border during independence day you will the craze. .
I am honest with you Sri Lanka is the best clean place I ever seen in South Asia. I still recommend to visit in my Country Bangladesh. Specially in my city Chittagong. I recommend place like Foy's lake, Sajek valley, Cox's Bazzar, Saint Martin. There are few Best place in Chittagong also. But not super clean like Sri Lanka.
We definitely plan on visiting Bangladesh 😁😁thanks for these tips.
Thank you very much for your comment .love from Sri Lanka
@@janakiabeysundera1734 You organize your country well.
📌🤍🤍
Thank you for your honest view and recommendations ❤🖤
Love to both of you from india. do visit again. Sri lanka is a beautiful country
Thank you so much for your lovely comments .
awwwww
I will appreciate your comment. Bro we love india as well ..
you know as a sri lankan even i shold pay 150 lkr to go 1km in gampaha city😅400 is fair in colombo,that first 200 guy surprized me saying its just 200 , seems like he confused and said that price without knowing english,btw enjoy the visit🥰
Probably the first video I saw on Lotus Tower by foreign vlogger lol! Kudos to you showing a wonderful experience around the tallest tower in SA. I saw some Vloggers underestimate the costs. First I thought you would not do it. But was surprised you decided to do it without underestimating it. I think it's fully worth it! Showing this attraction and supporting it, you really show you are patronizing Sri Lanka tourism!!!
An Indian here, and you a Lankan? Just curious. Yes, I never knew Lotus Tower could be visited from the inside and had a fair bit too offer. They ought to have more facilities though at 7500 INR. For tourists from the subcontinent like Indian Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan it is still steep even after currency conversion for us at INR 1923.
@@basilsylvesterpinto10 Yes I am a Lanka living abroad in the West. I have visited Burj Khalifa in Dubai some years ago. This is privately owned business I believe. So $20 for foreigners is really not much considering the upkeep they need to do. I am not sure whether they do this, but they should consider giving SARRC countries some discount.
@@wlog101 so depending where you are based in the West it would be either peanuts or otherwise. If you were a true bled Lankan you would have understood.
@Basil Pinto 🤣🤣🤣
All over the world tourists attractions are costly.
Specially tall towers with a 360 view
@@basilsylvesterpinto10 The tower is not really aimed at all at the locals as an attraction, and the price to go an visit the tower is very typical international standard. I paid the same to visit a tall tower in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam (Saigon) and that is of course also there a very steep price for the locals. By the way, I also bought a cup of coffee and a fresh juice in the cafe in the top of that tower, which probably, in all seriousness, cost me the same as an entire weeks budget to eat vegetarian food at restaurants and street food vendors, so basically crazy expensive, to local standards.
Welcome to Sri Lanka, both of you can have fun to your heart's content. Sri Lankan people are very kind and friendly people.🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
I'm surprised how clean Colombo roads look. Great vlog. Prices (after currency conversion) seem to be on par with any major Indian city. But that lotus tower was expensive ! I guess that's why haven't seen any vlogger in SriLanka go up that tower.
That lotus tower was crazy expensive😲 but we had to do it as it's the tallest free standing tower in Asia😲.
sri lanka is a much cleaner country than India. Atleast people are aware where to spit and throw wrapper unlike the idiotic Indian people who don't have basic sense of hygiene.
ps : i am an Indian
As a sri lankan. I also agree with you
Why are you surprised ?
@@pankaja7974 Because, in my mind, Sri Lanka's economy has always been less than India and I figured, Colombo probably looked something like Mumbai. That's why I was (pleasantly) surprised to see its state.
Greetings from London, I hope you're enjoying the most beautiful island on earth SRI LANKA....and its beautiful people. Have a lovely holiday take care and stay safe. ✌️✌️✌️
Thanks a million for your lovely comments about our motherland.
This tower in your video looked the most interesting in Colombo! The 360 degree view of the city looked really amazing!!
Nice video chaps! Gave a good snapshot of the city. Lots of positivity and happy vibes helped. Keep up the good work!
Love from india 🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️
As a srilankan much proud of you both sharing beauty of srilanka to world and promote srilanka highly appreciated friends.
Even as a Sri Lankan I've never seen that flag going down thing before lol I guess there's still many more things even for us to explore in Sri Lanka haha. Anyways nice video guys. Very cool stuffs. Hope yall enjoy your rest of the days in Sri Lanka.
Really... There were so little people there so cN think not many people know about it.
Many more videos to come😁❤️
Oh my god.😳 Leanne and Dan, I love to see you guys in my beautiful country. Welcome to Sri Lanka.😃😍🙏❤
Excellent video - great courage - loved the snake part - awesome
Thank you very much for visiting our country.Appriciate alot.
Ohh buddy finally you both are in srilanka ohh good nice trip let's enjoy 😊
You guys are wonderful! thanks for sharing your travel journey! Cheers 🥂🥂
If you are in Colombo, you should try SriLankan foods and visit one Galleface shopping complex which is largest complex in SrILanka. Any way, thanks for visiting Srilanka and there are many places and good nature to explore and enjoy your time in this island and hope you will visit SriLanka once again.
Guys inflation is high now in Sri Lanka
so don’t bargain too much. It’s their job so be reasonable and respect their jobs. Not every person unfair. Enjoy Sri Lanka ❤
Inflation is everywhere.. here in Singapore things have doubled in a couple of years... Nobody talk about it...
The same in Denmark. Same wages, double prices in many things. You should see my electric bills this winter, and I live in a house, which is heated by heatpump (electric) in a climate, that demands indoor heating at winter. Just one of those three months electricity bills could be as much as a standard yearly income in Sri Lanka, and it also for me were breaking the bank. Still, hustling of tourists is a major problem in Sri Lanka and also growing and don't even try to convince me, that it is not: I have been there nine times and my ex-wife were from Sri Lanka. Last time I were in Colombo, and I do mean last, as I am never ever going there again, a tuk-tuk driver hustled me off 4.000 Rupees for a ride to a Hindu temple, which I could seriously have walked to in five minutes. They do well by sticking to the Uber listed prices, and it would be my advice for tourists going to Sri Lanka now, or to entirely go places in rented vehicles with fixed prices, as renting a scooter or even tuk tuk. That's what I did last time in Sri Lanka, which both saved me a lot of money and gave me freedom to go places on my own. By the way, renting a vehicle do also support a local, and not a hustler. I am not saying, that all tuk tuk drivers are hustlers, but they sure operates with tourist prices, and many indeed also are hustlers. In Sri Lanka you really never know, who you get a ride with. I had my worst ever taxi experience in Sri Lanka, and that even along with my local wife and her mother, who picked a tuk tuk driver, who clearly were on drugs and nearly ran us off the road several times! He actually did bust a wheel on his tuk tuk, which I only saw as funny: He earned nothing by scaring the shit out of us with his dangerous driving, that is for sure! You forget, you can support your local tuk tuk driver, because he is your neighbor and you know, that he is good guy, but that is not the case for a tourist, when we come to a country like Sri Lanka and basically anyone with a tuk tuk can act as a taxi driver.
I hope srilanka have overcome from their economic depression.India is always there for srilanka in providing any kind of fuel or funds. Hope srilanka recover all over .
The economy is already recovered now, 🇱🇰❤️🇮🇳
on the other hand same india is always for insult us as beggers and downgrade sri lankans , so no thanks we love china
Sri Lanka is almost recovered from the economic crisis. Thanks India for not leaving us alone in the difficult time ❤

Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka. Have a safe flight 🛫. I'm from California .
Good job guys I’m glad I found you. I was looking at Sri Lanka for a cruise next year I love the accents I’m from Michigan US❤
You both are so professional and casual doing a great job in covering the full Galle Face Green activities... Also you'll have done home work on history of Sri Lanka😊
Ohhhh...i thought you guys are returning from India.
Lovely to know you are in Sri Lanka.
If you are going North Eastern Sri Lanka let me know, my friend lives in 'Kurunegala' City.
200 for one coconut is fair price thats not expensive bro
Do love your personality ...that shines true with the beautiful country
We are warmly welcome you to Sri Lanka 😍 🇱🇰
26:34 the way she said "nooo from the spices on that olly olly" hahaha she is so cute.
As a Sri Lankan, I did not get a chance to visit the Lotus Tower because I live in another country. I was very happy to see this video.🇱🇰❤️
Hey, you guys are awesome in traveling ❤ Love you to ❤
I live in Sri Lanka! 500 is wayyyy to much for galle face from lotus tower. I’m so glad you guys took the Uber instead:)
Prices are too high in Sri Lanka because of recession . Love from India to buddymoon❤
That makes sense😜 some places were expensive.
@@thebuddymoon yes obviously 😜
As a Sri Lankan I can guarantee it is not. Actually prices went down (when turned into foreign rates) after the recession.
That is not true at all. Yes, especially the energy prices has driven the prices up for a while, but you can eat on a restaurant much cheaper in Sri Lanka, than I can even buy the ingredients for, by a long shot, here in Denmark. 200 Rupees for a king coconut is expensive, also in Sri Lanka, so that is a tourist price, but 200 Rupees are half a US Dollars! What can you get in Europe, USA or South Africa for half a Dollars?
Lovely video guys thanks for visit to sri lanka
The buddymoon travellers are used to USD to INR exchange rate. The USD / SLR is 322. The coconut was approx $.50 approx same price as india.
200 is expensive though, for Sri Lanka. I have paid down to 30 Rupees for a king coconut and even last time, in August 2022, I never paid more than 100, and that were in Ella, which is as much a tourist trap, as central Colombo is.
@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv You won't get Thabili for rs 30 even in rural places unless its already about to go bad after siting in sun for weeks. Average price these days in colombo is Rs. 100-220 depending on place and size.
@@rwrajithaI as an indian visited srilanka and king coconut I paid is srllanka rupee 100 rural side equivalent to Indian rupee 30/- Srilanka is cleaner than India
@@1corinthians15.1-4kjvro find out what happend recently in sri lanka. Our president did crazy things. 2021 maree biscuit price only rs30 but now it's price rs100. everything has changed🙄 . Don't talk with out searching
You guys are really doing good. One feedback 100 rupee is almost nothing in here. I felt like you are barging everything without idea of honest price make the seller uncomfortable and confused. It's always nice to make everyone happy in the end. Most of them are honest people only few crooks around that easy to track. If become generous bit your videos will have more positive vibes ❤
yeah im with you. distance between two locations is about 3km. so 100 is enough for 1km 🙂
Was thinking the same. Feel sorry for the drivers and sellers. They were lucky people get not angry about them. 😮
Bro bargaining for 0.30 $ for that Casava chips..Which is reasonable..You won’t get that for even 3 $ in west…Same with that achara(pickle) thing..Good u didn’t argue for that..For Tuk tuk normally it will be fairly higher when u take instantly without the use of app…So 250 might be a good price..
Thank you for visiting sri lanka .enjoy ur stay in sri lanka
28:48 mhogo is cassava in Kiswahili, I'm impressed by the gentleman. It's rare to see people who are familiar with African vocabulary outside of Africa.
I expected to see chaos in Colombo because the news made Sri Lanka look like it was at the beginning of a civil war. I love your channel because it shows what's going on vs sensationalist journalism. Good job guys
Sri Lanka did have a crisis last year, but now all is okay, and it's honestly such a beautiful country 😊😊 but yes can't always trust what the media says.
Sho, we did not even know what a cassava was let alone mhogo so we were impressed too😊
dont believe western and indian media, we didnt even felt that crisis much as media showed😂,as problems we just had food price doubled and 2h-5h power cuts and a fuel quota given to every citizen, power cut was affordable ,food too and food is not a problem for sri lanka there is enogh water and food cuz 80% of lankans live outside cities , they have big gardens to grow , actually rich people dont like to move to cities,abandoning their family owned lands,westen and especially indian media wanted to put the fault on china, but the real problem was presidents foolish decision of banning every chemical fertilizers for get non toxic food to avoid kidney disease and cancers , but he banned all by one night without doing it gradually , think what happened when a country mostly depend on agriculture exports like cinnomon , coconut ,rubber and tea? all exporters faced loses without fertilizer and cuz of covid we also havent much revenue from tourism , thats why sri lanka couldnt pay the debt and faced a crisis, what china have to do with that? nothing😂
That's cuz dutch colonized us
@skipper you are 100% correct. This dirty Indian media with ulterior motives planted fake stories about Sri Lanka.
As usual when ever Sri Lanka is doing well India always do something bad to pull Sri Lanka down .like 30 years LTTE TERRORIST WAR SERVIVED WITH THE HELP OF THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. THEY TRAINE AND ARMED THE TERRORIST S
INDIA HAS MUCH MORE POVERTY THAN ANYWHERE IN SOUTH ASIA.
BUT THEY TALK ABOUT PAKISTAN.
AND SRI LANKA. 🤣🤣🤣
The news are always lies and damned lies, sprinkled with some fear-mongering on top. I was there in August last year, when the protests were supposed to be on their highest, and never saw a single protestor! It is like all political protests in any nation: Avoid the big city centers and government buildings and you most likely would never even encounter any protest at all!
I think the coconut was not expensive.. I have seen in many videos the price was either 150 or 200 depending on places
Hi my dear friends.. You are warmly welcomed to Sri Lanka and invite you to visit other fascinating destinations of my country. You both are really lovely. Take care and enjoy. Thank you very much for visiting sL.
It’s very good gesture guys, you are supporting the economy of Sri Lanka in these difficult times❤️❤️
Not when you complaint about $.50 coconut being expensive. Typically not even the locals haggler with poor street vendors and look for opportunities for support them. I wouldnt expect you to support them financially but not cool to haggle with those poor people when they are already offering a more than reasonable price.
@@lahirua Well, that were the one thing, that actually clearly were overpriced, and I have been in Sri Lanka nine times. Last time in August 2022, by the way. Even then in Ella, which is expensive and a bit of a tourist trap, I never paid more than 100 Rupee for a king coconut, and don't tell me, that the locals do not haggle street vendors: That is like your one national sport, man! My ex-wife were Sri Lankan!
this channel defines what FAKE HUMBLE MEANS .... at least the bees got paid back their hypocrit humble shit....trying to bargain coconuts , boat ride . wtf...
@@1corinthians15.1-4kjv yes that's why is your ex wife now...
Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka ❤. From lotus tower to Galleface beach is only 200 or 250. 500 is too much!
We thought so too😜
Salt is good in tropical areas, one tends to loose via sweat hence good to replace
Hi Guys! Loved to see your vedios and got addicted to your trips...! Next time I hope you do visit India again... 🎉
All the best for your future trips 🎉
Brother and sister you must come our Bangladesh. every foreigner said we have great hospitality.our culture is similar with India and Sri Lanka. so both of you come and enjoy a lot ❤️🇧🇩
As a Sri Lankan, I always use uber for my tuk drives becuz it's way cheaper and safe and also I should say I never knew about the flag thing, but whenever we hoist the flag we always play our anthem not when we bring it down. It's actually nice to see that scenario with the sunset.
THANK U SOO MUCH FOR COMING TO SRI LANKA
Im alsoo sri lanka
very nice video , Goldfinchs travel & tourism also provide best tour packages 😍
Very nice matching couple.. ❤️❤️👍
Good luck guys.. 👍❤️❤️💐
Aybuvan is WELCOME! not Hello, and you basically should never say it! Or, to be precise, when they come to your home or business or country, say Aybuvan! The tower were not yet open for business, last time I were in Colombo, so interesting to see the view. The beach is called Golden Beach or Gold Faced Beach, probably refer to the light at the favored times of the local there, the sunset. God Bless!
Thank you very much for visiting SRI Lanka..the Uber price is very reasonable and 400 is too much....so brave to hv that python.. 🔥🔥love Ur videos ❤️❤️❤️
The orange coconut is actually called a "King Coconut"
Come to our country again, there are many beautiful places in Sri Lanka
We invite you to come and experience the wonder of Sri Lanka
we've noticed Leanne really have the balls for tough stuff. 🤣
😂😂😂 Lance😂😂😂
I like your comments about Wagah border of Pakistan. And hope it will remain in your memories.
1km is 100 rs in three wheeler ... normal price if its 3.8km he stated a reasonable price 400 rs (nelum kuluna - galle face)
Thank you for visiting sri lanka...!
Welcome to again in India take care
Make sure to visit India again!
When you're here next time, be sure to check out Hyderabad as well 😃
Beautiful place 😍 nice video ❤
Beautiful video
I feel you guys misunderstood srilankan rupees with indian rupees in here 100 rupees mean USD 30 cents
6:01 leanne was like "oh don't finish all the juice" 😂
😂😂
Explore india ❤again 😇 you missed alot ... love from india guys 🎉
Both of you smiley and cute faces, that's why we love you soo much. 🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤ Love from India 😂
Love your content bro and sister in law.
we also ignore normal three-wheelers and go for uber or pickme. normal/metered ones charge so high even for locals.
So the normal tuk tuk starting meter 100 and after 1km every other km will charge you 80. And the location u visited is Gall face beach 🏝️. Love ur videos bro keep traveling Sri Lanka
i miss u guys...want u guys back in india😢😢
You two are a beautiful couple, my best wishes to you, if you come to our country again, remember to talk to us.❤
You are welcome to sir Lanka 💜💚♥️💜💚♥️💜💚♥️💜💚♥️
200 Srilankan rupees = around 50 indian rupees, so i guess its not that expensive
I have never paid more than 100 Rupee for a king coconut in Sri Lanka, and that top price even were in very touristy and expensive Ella, August 2022. I have paid down to 30 Rupee and 50 is a standard price, even in places like Galle and Colombo. Yes, 200 Rupee is expensive, and the vendor even agreed!
Thanks!
Welcome
Thanks so much😁😁❤️ you are a Legend😁
That orange coconut is called king coconut which is only found in sri lanka
What you drank was a king coconut you only find it here in Sri Lanka as it is native tree to SL.nice vlog .❤
Explore sandy beaches in south of Sri Lanka.
Leanne is brave 👏👏
Thank you hehehe. 😊😊
Like your videos. I have subscribed to your channel.🥰😍
Love it😁❤️
So I wanted to enlighten everyone about the difference about private vs uber tuk tuk price beacuse everyone seem to have a wrong idea about this. Bottom line uber only charge you only for journey and problem with private tuks are they have charge you for the trip and their wayback. For example lets guess, maps say there is 2km for the ur preferred destination, private drivers have to take you 2km and they also have to come back to their original location counting its 4km. So Uber drivers have this advantage where they can find another customer from ur destination so they can be very cheap compared to private drivers. It's not usually unfair if private driver ask you not more than the double the uber price. So there you have it. Hope this is helpful.

Welcome to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thank you visit srilanka❤
My friends those are not orange coconut, they named as king coconut and ayubowan mean live long life bro.. and also colombo is not the capital of sri lanka. It is financial capital. Capital of sri lanka is sri jayawardenapura kotte. Enjoy the tour my friends... Love u guys from Sri lanka...
You visited India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. You will found cheaper and better food, stay options and urban amenities in India than other two beautiful coutries. It is because of high per capita income and better living standards. Also the indian currency is way valuable than other south asian countries. There you will found prices in hundreds or even in thousands; however in India you will get the same food item within Rs. 100. it is because of currency rate and deteriorating economic conditions in other two countries. India is developing with better living conditions. Hope with the economic ties with India in future Sri Lankan economy will improve soon. Lots of love and wishes to our Sri Lankan brothers and sisters from India 🇮🇳🤝🇱🇰
Sri Lankan GDP
STANDS AT 4600 $
After economic crisis down to 3800$
Indian GDP
STANDS QT 2800$
SRI LANKA IS STILL DOING WELL IN SOUTH ASIA.
BY NEXT YEAR SRI LANKA WILL BOUNCE BACK MUCH STRONGER
Quality of life has always been better in SL...pls look at the health education conditions and mortality rates and comment. However due to economies of scale and population there is higher GDP in India but not per head or per capita.
Nice Video Buddy.Did you liked Sri Lanka in this Summer🌞🏖️
It was too hot at the beach but inland... It was perfects😁
@@thebuddymoon Enjoy great Showers 🚿🚿⛈️⛈️
120 rupees for 1km is a fair price..specially in colombo...
it"s called a king cocunut(the best one)
Buy Buy buddymoon from india.❤Do visit again.😘😘
If you are in a Main city in Sri Lanka like Colombo it's better to use uber they have the best prices, and in a meter tuktuk it's 100/= for the 1st km and from the 2nd km 80/= per each
Thanks 🇱🇰👍
That cocunut is have only in sri lanka.it called Thabili
