🇮🇶❤🇱🇷Hello, I am from Iraq. My dream was to travel to other countries and get to know their customs and cultures, but circumstances do not allow me to do so. But when you go to any place, remember me. I am your sister Zainab from Iraq. I love you and I love America. 😊
It's truly a Grand Hotel as the name implies. Everything is prim and proper. Great staff who know their job very well. Watching these videos I feel so proud of my country. God bless my country and all those who sacrificed so much to preserve its grandeur.
Thanks for this tourism promotional video, Doug. I'm from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Your videos tell the world how beautiful Sri Lanka is..Actually, Nuwara Eliya is the most beautiful part of the island, and there are lots of attractive places to visit here in this central hilly region.
Thanks for appreciating our country 🙏🏻 ❤ I'm from srilanka...And I really enjoy your videos ❤your vedios does show everyone in the world 🌎 that sri lanka 🇱🇰 is a beautiful and attractive island 🏝 ❤
Wow i have visited there with my family years ago. I remember everything about this place, it was great. Thank you so much for visiting Sri Lanka, hope you had a great time here and god bless! ❤️🌟
wow never know that Grand Hotel is hiding such great stuff... thank you Doug for reveling us these things... and thank you for visiting Sri Lanka part of former UK....☺
I have watched some your video's and your are recently broadcast Sri Lankan Places via your channel. Thank you so much for take away Sri Lanka to International.
❤I follow you from Iraq. My dream was to travel to other countries, but circumstances do not allow me to do so. But to any country you travel, remember me in the country. I am your sister Zainab from Iraq. I love you and I love America. ❤ 🇮🇶❤ 🇱🇷
Zainab, I am zainulabdeen from Srilanka. I am extremely sorry for you that your economy doesn't allow you to fly to other countries. Pray to Allah more and more, sure he will shower from his bountiful wealth.
I love the grand hotel, I’m half Sri Lankan, I couldn’t sleep it was when I was 22 and I scared myself by walking around the hotel in the middle of the night. I live in the US, but when my son visited with my parents 2x last year the staff loved him and he owned the place😂
Doug Bernard seems to be a very down to earth traveller. I noticed his charming and friendly nature greeting staff at the hotel working in different capacities. Thank you Doug for promoting Sri lankankan tourism. Enjoy your stay and have a SAFE tour. A huge applause to the staff of Grand hotel for upholding the dignity and pride of MOTHER LANKA. I really enjoyed this vdo. Ive been to this hotel once and spent a full day. It's really GRAND as the name implies.
As a Brit living in Devon the home of cream tea it's amusing watching you eat scones. You cut the scone in half then put cream first then jam. Depending on whether you are from Devon or Cornwall will dictate whether you put jam then cream or cream then jam. It is clotted cream although the cream in the video looked more like whipped than clotted but it is Sri Lanka. I think you did a very good job in your video. I'd love the Sri Lankan curry. Loved your video on Baghdad. I love iraq. Very special people. Please show more on Iraq the people deserve our attention.
We are Sri Lankans but not yet experienced this kind of hospitality and delicious food. Hope people of Sri Lanka may hv similar possible experience in future. Keep blessings on people of SriLanka.
Glad to see you guys enjoying the stay at my beautiful country. There are many more beautiful places, authentic and sri lankan food to so many things you can enjoy in my country . All the very best wishes with future endeavours
Thank you for a comprehensive tour of this iconic hotel in Sri Lanka. The lady guide was very knowledgeable. It is good to see that they have preserved the colonial history of this impressive building. I remember having a wonderful lunch here some years ago with my wife.
I have been here ... seriously it is one of the best.. Its crazy how clean they keep the place... they even wipe the lamp shades like on a daily basis I think.
I am a Sri Lankan and I have visited grand hotel too I love that hotel so much ..but I guess you better visit the top area.. and the swimming pool is like a hot tub you can visit so much there Welcome to Sri lanka😊😊😊
Great video! But next time, try the scones with the jam and cream together (either jam first and then cream or vice versa - in the UK there are big debates about which way around you should put it on!) and you can easily slice the scone with a knife. Enjoy 😋

I have been to Sri Lanka 3 times , I love it !!!
Wow - talk about first class all the way. And you can tell that the staff truly love their jobs and are proud to work there!
Why Sri Lanka is different to all other Asian countries is it's so clean and tidy.
Because SL is situated in an Island
Singapore is also very clean and tidy
Westernization
That's why its called srilanka 😘
It ain’t clean. Just at hotels. Most beaches and streets are filled with garbage sadly.
Beautiful place, and the staff seem to really have their hearts in it. Bless them and may The Grand be with us for centuries to come.

Welcome to Sri lanka😊😊😊
Thq for visiting my beautiful motherland

Great video! But next time, try the scones with the jam and cream together (either jam first and then cream or vice versa - in the UK there are big debates about which way around you should put it on!) and you can easily slice the scone with a knife. Enjoy 😋
