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 🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥰🎉🎉🎉🇱🇰
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
@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 🏠 Good luck with your travels. Cheers 🥂 Greetings from Japan 😊
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and warm greetings from Japan! Scammers can be part of travel anywhere. I'll stay vigilant to fully embrace the beauty of Sri Lanka while avoiding such pitfalls. Your support means a lot, and I'm glad to bring a piece of home to you and others living abroad. Cheers and best wishes to you too! Please consider subscribing to channel if you haven't already. 🥂😊
@8:39 They thought you were Nas Daily, a popular TH-cam vlogger😅 It looks like he moved to Srilanka recently. Good video 😊 and Good luck with your adventure 👍
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 saw the video of the bamboo biryani man - albeit I wanted to clear his name as a good guy (at least to me, when I was there). I don’t want to make anyone’s life difficult, but I won’t shy from showing the truth. I loved Sri Lanka and I’ll be going back soon
traditionally the whips were used to help clear the path for the performers. the whip crack sound afaik is cos the whip tip recoils at such speed..its supersonic
I could have said anything at anytime, as I have free and autonomous speech 😜 I get what you’re saying, only joking, but I honestly have never heard of the person in question They might as well have been talking about the Nasdaq. That I would have loved to discuss
Hey there, just stumbled upon this video and it got me thinking... if anyone scammed like this pls rise your hand or a leave comment. I'm genuinely curious, how many of you have been scammed while traveling like this.
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.

Don't deny he is not the only vlogger who experienced this most foreign vloggers are being scam in Sri Lanka. They share what they saw and what they experienced.
That old sick gentleman looked genuinely poor, old and helpless. i would have at least bought him a meal or given 500 LKR. And you scammed those two girls 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nasdaily is a mega celebrity on social media. Recently he too visited Sri Lanka and invested in property here as well. Enjoy Sri Lanka and safe travels! And why don't you use Google maps when traveling uncharted territories ?
@@InvestedAdventure True and I do understand. But nonetheless, old is old. They become helpless at that age. Old and sick is the worst. I never encourage nor give anything to anyone below the age of 65... And scammers are way worse than this. Should be mindful of actual "scammers" 🙏
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.
With ultirior motives. Until economic crisis no money owing to India. Only to European countries. Japan and China. Then India realise they have no roll to play in Sri Lanka. Immediately make their presence visible to world with new financial help. 😂😂😂😂 But soon Sri Lanka will finish paying the credit line extended by India with interest 😂😂 these are all loans Also nearly 600000 six hundred thousand Indian people living in Sri Lanka refusing to return back to India fir last 200 years 😂😂😂
Thank you Imran. Have you seen the video of "bamboo biryani" man on Abdul Hameed street? It hit the press recently, when another creator showed him being rude towards him - and it landed him in trouble with the police. I had filmed there two weeks before and showed him to be a good character. If you can help direct my video to the local authorities, I would like to help clear his good name
seen him in the beach area some day funny guy.
Ah, so you know him? I knew he was a scammer! Selling a sob story of being there for a day, needing to get back after an operation. Simps take note!!
@@InvestedAdventure yes bro best thing u did talk and send off great move.

I wonder too. Apparently the same guy was there 2-3 weeks later, according to a local who saw my video, and said that it’s a daily grift

Thanks a lot - that's my style. I want to show people reality, and capturing my experiences might help them
Well 😂 Can't blame you for leaving. As a Chennai-guy , I agree LMAO
Ahh Andrew that’s crazy coming from a local! But I guess we were on the same page
You are bad, you start the talk with him, now you said he is scammer, now you got the content allright, you are so bad
Whatever you say…
Thanks for Understanding the assignment of youtubers 😅😅😅

These are not Sri Lankan food. This restaurant is selling Indian food.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry?
He isn’t scamming I guess
Don’t judge by cover of book
He looks old and poor
Never mind
If you help or not
Don’t judge old weak people
Justify your contrary statement in the first line, before moving on?
