When to travel – Sri Lanka’s Weather patterns
Although
Money and tipping
you cannot Sri Lankan Food
Sri Lankan
Fruit
Do try some of the more exotic fruits on sale. The giant round yellow ball shaped fruit with studs on the outside that grown on the side of tree trunks are called Jack Fruit. It is the lush yellow flesh around the central seeds that you eat. You do not eat the surrounding husk. Some people are put off by the unusual look and smell. They taste a bit like a banana. Mangosteens are a purple tropical fruit. Again like Jack fruit you do not eat the outer flesh. You break open the fruit and eat the white flesh in the middle. They are incredibly sweet and taste like lychees.
Don't touch the Dogs
There is rabies in Sri Lanka. Do not touch of feed the street dogs. You heart strings will go out to them. You may be thinking of the furry friendly pet you left at home with friends or relatives. Be strong. You can die from a dog bite. If you are
travelling with young children this is a lifesaving discussion you must have with them. Do not touch the cute street dogs.
