- We've arrived in our next country! It's our first day in Sri Lanka and we're exploring the capital city of Colombo to find out what it's like here and share our first impressions with you.... to be honest Colombo is not what we thought it would be at all.

Sri Lanka is clean, diversed , nature blessed friendly country . Unique and rare gem ✌️
Im from Sri Lanka and I don't agree with clean lol
@@AbdulAhad-if7hw lol yes
@@AbdulAhad-if7hw Sri Lanka is one of the cleanest country in South Asia. You should travel to other countries to see the difference. Even cities like N.Y and L.A aren't as clean as people think they are.
@@AbdulAhad-if7hwyeah , areas where muslim people live in Sl are very dirty
SL is the cleanest country in South Asia. Go travel idiot.
🎉❤❤ කොච්චර ඉංග්රීසි බැරි උනත් ඒ මිනිහා කියනවා welcome to sri lanka කියලා gemmata recspect recspect ආදරේ මිනිහට❤❤❤

I’m from Sri Lanka.. visit this beautiful country.. this is a paradise ❤️
Nice video, Colombo is a beautiful city 🇱🇰
Agreed!
@@TravelsonToast except for the place you saw the human shyt. Its called Slave Island and its one for the dirtiest places in Colombo.
@@deshn21it's the garbage collecting place though. Of course it has to be dirty.
No it's not. How can you live in this Damn Country: AIDS, Famine, Floods, Tsunami, Bribery, Corruption, Murder, Prostitutes, Whores, Drugs, Alcohol, Smoke, Exploitation, Discrimination, Rape, Burglary, Dishonesty, Fraudulence, Malfeasance, Nepotism, Lesbians, Transsexuals, Eunuchs, War, Demolition, Theft, Injustice, Intolerance, Partiality, Prejudice, Unfairness, Repugnance, Racism... And I can continue on & on & on for Hours!
Sri Lanka is the Worst Country to live in with proven facts & statistics!
Wow --- from Borneo to Sri Lanka.
Your world-travel groove is next level --- boom!
I enjoyed your relaxing first impressions and walkabout around Colombo.
I'm sure you will be in the luxuriant tropical nature soon --- amidst friendly villagers-- and make masterful use of your Magic Bird (drone).
When you are in Sri Lanka, please don't walk on railway tracks unless you are very sure of the schedules. The locals know the train times and that's why they walk on carefree.
Indeed Sri Lanka is a beautiful country. Colombo is the commercial city and Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte is the capital 😊
I know it's abit late. But welcome to Sri Lanka guys. Hope you guys will enjoy our little island paradise. Cheers..!
Thanks!
Just subscribed you channel watching your thoughts about other human beings from 13.06 on this video, give to others once a day as you can. Thanks for visiting my country.
3:33 probably an animal, like a dog, cat or a cow because in Srilanka public defecation is frowned upon or never ever done because even the smallest of houses have a washroom and public washrooms are everywhere. Not to mention the CCTVs everywhere. I lived in Colombo my entire life and never have I seen anyone ever defecate in public other than the rare pisser.
Sri Lanka has strict regulations regarding sewerage disposal. The water smell on that lake is during dryer months lack of fresh water with less oxygen creates the smell. But they are installing a pumping station that will pump water during dryer months. No sewage is released as you may see it's full of water birds and fish
@@majulaseneviratne6391 umm I know. This video is misleading.
Gon ewun dennek, union place eke mona yakada pare toilet yanne ?
Welcome to Sri Lanka and enjoy the Sri Lankan hospitality.
6:52 That is Kingfisher.
Thanks!

Great video guys, we are going to Sri Lanka too! It looks like Negombo is the spot to be!
Cool to see you head here, I might actually be doing some work out in Sri Lanka next year for a month or two and was happy to see you two have gone before as I don't know much about the place, looks like a good place to get some great bird photos!

The smell is coming from the water cuz of algee plants and colour is also green
Thank you very much for bringing the wonder of Sri Lanka to the world
Welcome to Sri Lanka, Colombo is our country's heart! ❤
Human 💩 in Colombo?! I have never seen that in Colombo in my 20+ years of life there. It’s either racially motivated, based on India, or you must be from SF or LA where it’s pretty normal to see human 💩 on the streets. I think it’s probably a dog given Colombo’s stray dog population.
Another thing I noticed is that you keep calling everything cheap right in front of the vendors. It’s very inconsiderate towards the locals because it’s not cheap for them. Furthermore, the term “cheap” usually connotes low quality rather than good value.
Imagine how a vendor feels when every third foreigner they serve calls their products cheap! How many times do they need to hear about the cheapness of their food before they consider raising their prices? And then you complain when they raise prices for foreigners.
If you really want to go there, it would be better to use a less condescending word like “affordable”.
Finally someone said what's on everyone's mind!!! Responsible travelling is a must... also there has been talk of the kind of tourists Sri Lanka needs to attract-the ones who can actually pay for the service and not compete the limited resources available for locals - those who can actually help the economy.Please mind your actions.
Very well put.
I 100% agree. So many cringe moments and careless comments. Clearly shows they are privileged elitists who look down on "third world countries".
well said.
Woow... Superb 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks to visiting my country .Love from 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰
3.33 people don’t shit on streets in Sri Lanka. Living in Colombo all my life I can be sure about that. It can be surly an animal cuz there can be animals here and there on the roads most of the time. That was a super fast assumption but now you know. Thanks guys lovely video 😊
Wellcome to sri lanka 🇱🇰 🙏 🙏 🙏
Very nice video... miss my motherland 😢❤ thank you so much for visiting ❤️ 💕 ♥️
I am so happy to listen to people who praise about my small beautiful country ❤

Happy journey ☺️

Thank you very much for coming to my country
Thanks for visiting 🇱🇰 ..
Welcome to the little paradise ❤️❤️
I’m officially in love this channel ❤
Welcome to my motherland guys. Few seconds into the video I realized it was a Sunday looking at the streets. On weekdays it’s busier, but not as crowded as other countries in our region. About the train ride, getting together with some strangers and starting to sing is quite common here. We try to make the most out of what we have. You were very kind about the beggars. However I would suggest you not to encourage that unless they try to sell something and make a living. Some of them are more than capable of working, and some are on government benefits and some are led by the under world. The actual beggar gets a bare minimum daily wage and the rest goes to the leaders.. This is the sad truth.. 😢😢😢
I wish you two a pleasant, safe and a memorable journey. Much love 💕
thanks so much!
Sri lanka is the destination of your life changing place. You will be earn lot of things bro.
Thanks for Visiting Sri Lanka guys ❤❤❤
Welcome to sri Lanka guys i think so u are enjoying to sri lanka it's beautiful natural place 🎉 . 😊
Love from Colombo 05❤
Nice video love from Sri Lanka
Thanks!
Sri Lanka has strict regulations regarding sewerage disposal. The water smell on that lake is during dryer months lack of fresh water with less oxygen creates the smell. But they are installing a pumping station that will pump water during dryer months. No sewage is released as you may see it's full of water birds and fish.
When the oxygen supply is low, bacteria break down the waste at the bottom of the pond or lake. As a result of this decomposition process, the water develops carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Once the weather gets warmer in the spring, the warm air rises and produces an unpleasant smell.
Enjoy srilanka ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
Great video, thanks for your positive attitude.
A few corrections in my opinion since I visit colombo almost daily.
1) It may not be human shit. It’s probably dog shit. There are many public toilets in the cities and most homeless people know to use them.
2) The city is actually busy during the weekdays. The city mostly commercial. During the weekends most srilankans either travel out of the city towards the cool green mountains or coastlines. Also sunday is usually a holiday in the city. Hence many retail shops may have been closed.
3) The half constructed buildings are not run down. Its just that construction paused due to the economic situations and imports of material was restricted. But now everything is getting back to normal and construction is beginning again.
4) There are very nice places, parks, restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, etc. Its not visible in he video..but its ok since you focused on the local areas.
5) Don’t tip the taxis or don’t give free money to anyone, they will get used to it and expect it from tourists always. If you like to help the country/people with donation consider organizations that do genuine work or look sponsor/donate/provide a village school with a new facility or painting or books or anything that directly does not involve money. Also there are many seniors/elders homes that run on donations only.
Great. Thanks for your explanations. 👍
Great & Soo True ❤

Hello from Sri Lanka
Welcome to our paradise 💕❤️🥰💖💕❤️🥰
Welcome to sri lanka ❤
The Beire Lake smell during dry months is not due to sewage but with less fresh water flowing in the oxygen supply is low, bacteria break down the waste at the bottom of the pond or lake. As a result of this decomposition process, the water develops carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Once the weather gets warmer in the spring, the warm air rises and produces an unpleasant smell.
only the hitch in college life... this particular mad job of theirs that had me in the hospital for two months...
