    Bro that orange colour dish you thought made from dry fish and the guy said yes lol, it’s not made from fish, that’s scrapped fresh coconut mixed with crushed onion, crushed chilli and lime juice. You can also add a pick of Maldive dry fish to have a sort of crunch in the middle. It’s call “POL SAMBAL” coconut sambal which is in the top 5 dishes in Sri Lanka I bet 🎉

      It was pretty keen, I must say… I had literally just got out of the rickshaw and walked to the coconut stand. There’s also a deleted scene which didn’t quite capture a guy who had been eyeing up my GoPro and was looking to mug me (i wasn’t scared as he was just a junkie, but it did put a different slant on things). Some great people here though - wait till you see my video on Abdul Hameed St

    Hi James
    First of all I love all the details you capture in your videos. Keep rocking.
    As for this senior who showed you some of his prescriptions relating to his health, the chances of him genuinely suffering from age related health issues are probably true. Hence him asking you for some financial help, given his age, in all probabilities deem as legitimate. There are scammers who do take advantage of local and foreign tourists but sometimes a little help would be a game changer for people who are below the poverty line. I sincerely hope that you are never ever scammed, period. Incidentally, I would have loved to see you buy some food and a cup of tea for the senior in conclusion. Travel safe and keep in touch. Good luck to you and everyone in Sri Lanka. Sending you greetings from Toronto 🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥰🎉🎉🎉🇱🇰

    • @InvestedAdventure
      @InvestedAdventure  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks my friend. Check out the other comment from someone who lives in Colombo and said that he saw him there doing the same thing weeks later! His entire yarn was based on a hospital visit and waiting for a bus ride back to Kandy or somewhere that day. Its total garbage

    • @1mazforall
      @1mazforall 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @InvestedAdventure From your perspective, it might have seemed like a major scam operation. But poverty leads to desperate measures. There are scammers in all forms, no doubt. Sometimes, it does help to get into his shoes and see things from a different perspective. The senior being a top notch scammer in this instance is very weak. Trying to survive would be an apt description.

    Amidst all the positive things to experience in SL, unfortunately, there are scammers, stalkers begging for money, and some vendors/ tuktuk drivers who may resort to overcharge tourists. I hope you won't have to endure such experiences for the rest of your stay. And thanks so much for exploring and exposing the best things SL has to offer to the rest of the world. Influencers such as yourself in a way help us locals residing abroad to get a taste of home 🏠

    Sri Lanka is getting a bad name because of these scammers. The tourism has fallen into a deep hole because of these people. You as a tourist should complain this to the nearest police station. A few scammers got arrested recently due to the complaints .

      I got scammed a few week ago in colombo. Some man asked me to buy him a pack of milk powder for his little children. He was a very friendly guy, so i thought i buy him some of that to help his situation. Apparently i found out that as soon he gets the product he will go back to the store and return it and make 50/50 with the shop owner. I mean i was angry at first, but they are really poor and seeing tourist all day long will not help. So they find sneaky ways to get the money for people. But it‘s definitely not a good behavior. Btw. I love Sri Lanka and it‘s one of the best destinations to go.

    when Sri Lanka economy was in danger and no one on earth was helping India helped with grants and loans of several billion dollars and still giving. Indian Foreign Minister himself went to Sri Lanka with massive petrol tankers. On July 08, 2023, expressing his gratitude to "trustworthy friend" India for saving Sri Lanka and preventing "another bloodbath for all of us" during its unprecedented economic crisis last year, Parliament Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena has said that not a single nation has extended that kind of assistance to Colombo as done by New Delhi.
