Kite surfing at Buba

After a long days work I visited Buba “My favorite haunt” for a chill drink with some working buddies & there I bumped into my crazy outbound friend “Dilsiri” who had spent a thumping amount buying his new best friend the buggers kite -

Never thought i’ll catch this at Buba but the site is amazing!! & if you wanna catch the action choose a windy day & drop by buba dilsiri will be there cruising along… the video is’nt much but follow the kites it’s awesome!! my next trip is definitely kalpitiya to learn some kite surfing

At last ….a weekend worth writing about!!!

 

The weekend that passed didn’t seem to have any promise …. I was sure of one thinking I needed a good ass booze on Friday … So we hurried along to our usual watering hole (SSC) as fast as our alcohol deprived legs could carry us & broke open a bottle of my favorite pirate rum “Rockland!!” … True to it’s spirit 2 bottles down we had achieved our goal we were pissed ….. but now the question was “What next??” where the fuck do we go from here??? Can we get any higher (YES!!)

So me being the beach bum just mentioned “Lets go to hikka??? & party at the vibe!!!” 2 from our party of 4 said yes the other one simply passed out flat on the table at the thought!!!… anyways we decided to go regardless so after seeing our friend who’d obviously had wayyy toooo much into a taxi off we went to hikka in a CTB bus standing all the way ahhhhhhhhh what a ride so damn fast for the first time I fell asleep standing … & by the time we reached hiks I had 2 more casualties on hand one with a headache the other just out of the mood BUT we went to thevibe anyways but the drummers were drummed out & the crowd was too fucked up – “Not the usual” at all!! Anyways since we were there we crashed at vibrations who have lovely rooms that offer amature voyours a peak (The only prob with the room are the flimsy curtains that offer everyone outside a quick flash on & off) J

Anyways the 2^nd day was awesome the beech was gorgeous so we settled at the rotti kade beech front where “Cheesa” AKA “Rotty Malli” whos doin a damn good job at running his restaurant & keeping his guests happy & at home with good food & great service!! After a day lounging by the beech getting stoned we rode back to Col ..

Sunday was also quite a cool day not the usual Colombored out of wits Sunday … the cheers pub & the jazz evening at CR made my day!! With an awesome atmosphere although it was a tad crowded the crown was of like minded calm jazz lovers so it wrapped up a nice evening ….having grass on grass is another experience all by itself J

Ah almost forgot one more place worth mentioning “Peninsula” navala road!! Awesome food… Great atmosphere… hilarious cocktail menu which u must read even if you don’t drink!!! Tip – Have the Zombie it’s a hellish monster disguised as a innocent fruit punch.

A vid from Ko samet i just came across

 

These buggers perform every night on the beech… it’s awesome!!! u can sit at the Rastha bar & watch these guys play football with a burning ball awesome!!! It’s bit funny when you watch it the second time or maybe cause we were stoned!!!!

 yup some nice nice to kill time in office ha ha… so enjoy boys & don’t worry ladies it has a section for you as well… eqaulism to you

Death … is sad again????

A few days back Myself along with a few mates watched a video of a mans’ head being cut off……. seriously a real live unedited clip of some military folk take a small knife … slowly & very painfully slice a guys neck off  – halfway first so he suffers for a few (long) minutes tick tock tick tock!!….then feeeling compashionate they clumsily slice the rest of his head off. It’s suprising that the kill is far more simpler but much much more painful than the movies protray…..They luagh as the bodyless head is kicked around like a nausious football..the head still breathes u can see it!!!… afterwards the head is returned to the poor headless dude (placed on his chest) so viewers can enjoy the wonders of the talking head!!! as the eyes & mouth move in a bloody mess as the head has still not figured out it’s dead.. (guess the guy was a bit sloooow ha ha) …

Man that was disturbing @ first though… we first thought of not watching it as it popped up in a random VCD a friend had baught on the pavement – the movie contained mainly awesome music videos from the likes of “mushrood head”, “metalika” & “Cradle of filth” oh plus a bonus “Hips don’t lie vid!!’ … so right after Shakira ends shaking those amazing hips ahhhh… came a headchoppers.. at first we wanted to switch it off but then “what the hell!!??” we are after all children of war & we’ve vitnessed suicide bombings gallore… endless assasinations … & a war that will never ends with more twists and turns than a tolkien epic…..so we skipped it back to Mr. Grim reapers latest release only on pavement VCD – The head slicing… man it just went on & on the worst part was the “Fuck – It’s real!!! It’s a real fucking man dying!! or being murdered” but we watched every gory bit of it!!! & felt important that we were among the few who’d watched a man die….

Was it disturbing – fuck YES

Did it freak me out – For a few hours yes!

Does it still bother me – NOT at all… well maybe a little (That’s y i’m writing this)

But the thing is we moved on ….the experaince was just etched into the back of our minds “this is how a person dies!!” wow…so now we just chat about how freaky it was while having a smoke but thats it….it’s just entertainment “reality TV at it’s best!”.. guess this is what will be featured on Zone reality in years to come……. so sit back..re-lax… enjoy the best of reality coming soon to a TV near you… can you stomach it???

Cheers!!!!!!

check this article out!! – Would I be crazy to travel to Sri Lanka Now??

 

http://www.galleforthotel.com/would_i_be_crazy_to_travel_to_sl.htm

The headlines tell us there’s danger everywhere in the world, even where you are reading this now. .

We wouldn’t suggest you travel to the North of Sri Lanka but here in the South its as safe as ever. The fighting is hundreds of kilometres away, further than Ireland from London or Southern Thailand from Phuket and the South of Sri Lanka has always been a safe place for tourists to visit. The Tigers have never targeted tourists anywhere in Sri Lanka at anytime during the last two decades..

Tourism is down but Galle Fort Hotel is is busy and our guests are having the most amazing holidays.. 0ometimes because they are the only people at a temple, the only people climbing Adam’s Peak, the only ones watching that leopard on a rock or the only ones on a picture perfect beach.

And isn’t that the thing we all dream of when we plan a holiday? Isn’t that the way the advertisements and brochures promise it? Its like that in Sri Lanka now. And it won’t be forever. Fortune favours the brave and the brave are coming now  because its one of the last places on earth where you can find that space to breathe, that unique individual experience, that personal contact with this incredible country and its people? Next year it might be different…crowded, expensive and impossible. Our guests are here now and the people of Sri Lanka love them being here. It gives them hope for a brighter future. You will be surrounded in smiles. And you can only be part of that if you are prepared to read beyond the headlines…

London is Al Quada’s number one target. Closely followed by Sydney and most of the US of A. Would it, in fact,  be safer to stay where you are?

The Chinese say that life is like a tiger. You can ride on its back or cower under its paw. 

Its a choice. A balance. A way of life.

And there’s always the danger of doing nothing with your life.

Noel Coward summed it up beautfully in his ballad about the recently widowed Mrs Wentworth Brewster,  who took  a holiday in Capri, danced with sailors,  ignored the pleas of her children and  ” discovered, in the nick of time, that life is for living”.

Down south revival

it was nice to go back to Hikka & see vibrations bounced back into action with a kick ass party … so many new faces though but it was nice to see the usual bunch gathered again – the same friendly faces all shit faced & having a blast!! The beach was a bit disappointing though at hikka (Guess it’s off season??) …. It was nice and on the same time a bit unnerving to see so many new faces (mostly “colombians” – as colombo dwellers are supposedly called outstation lol how embarrassing!!!) 

Anyways the party apparently continued but I took my ass down to familiar, relaxing & gorgeous Unawatuna…. The beach festival at the dewale was on so the surroundings were different the people were busy in one frantic frenzy getting makeshift shops done to sell to the throng of worshippers coming by… it was also nice to hear that business was picking up my usual joint Upuls was fully booked!!!! but Upul gave us a room at his home/ B & B outfit which was also quite cook & calm offering a chill hammock & a private balcony…

The beach was gorgeous!!!!! absolutely fab & the atmosphere utterly chill …. I enjoyed an awesome night by a fire on the beach after a long time!!

Here’s to the beach!!!! cheers…. may you always prosper..

 I’m off to Arugambay for the long weekend can;t wait!!! no pics this time readers!! but Arugambay will have many surprises for sure !!!

Adios Amigos!! I’m off to the beach!

 

Nice weekend…afterall

The past weekend had the promise of being a lousy one….. specially since I was to be working the entire weekend starting Thursday!!! however the only bit of hope was that I’ll be spending it travelling around the countryside & visiting some awesome places I have’nt bin to since the time I was like 7 (when my father took me & my bro hostage for family vacations!!!!)……

So off I went 8 hrs into the road on the way to Monaragala(Felt like i was on singled out!! travelling unnacompanied with 10 + clients)… I decided to have fun on this venture no matter wht the outcome as I was giving up a weekend at Unawatuna getting some much needed r’n’r and S/D/R (don’t ask!! ) … The drive was fast (which was superb!!) and the roads were excelent as we took the newly completed Ratnapura rd (afeter years of repairing) we got copped on the way as well but hey everything turned out cool!!! passes Udawalawe on the way… saw the sun set over the damn (fuckinh beautiful) and counted 6 hungry elephents begging for food as we sped by – It’s sad that people still encourage this shit !! right in front of big ass bilboards saying (DON”T FEED THE DAMN WILD ELEPHANTS!!!) Makes me woneder do people give a rats ass abt these boards ??!!- wht the hell am I doin in advertisin???? Maybe i shld join Nat geo & educate the moronic Sri Lankan Bajauw traveller on having a saving grace & STOP destroying things at the expence of their fucking trip!!

Moving on…. Monaragala seemed a normal place & we had a window in the the night for a good session of getting to know each other (not wht ur thinking…. we met up for a drink) where I got the low down of wht to do in Monaraga… It’s a great place for hiking (not for me!!) and also there’s a mountain top where the climate is the same as Nuwara eliya – this area is supposed to have 3 awesome bunglows (get in touch wit me for details for booking these) he he but the best thing abt Monaragala was the midnight meal!!! move over Pilla! this little joint at the main bus stand serves a mean maggi noodles kothu which is to die for!!! howver the visit which was to continue from Monaragala to Minneriya to Anuradhapura to Pollonnaruwa got cut short… and I ended up in colombo the very next day!!!! all in all Monaragala seemed nice & I will certainly check out the hills over there very soon!!!

Well with the weekend cut short & me back in col again with absolutely fuck all to do! So I cooked up a plan !! hell i will not miss the beach for one more week… Unawatuna it is!!!!  BUt time was short but the roads (Again) wewre awesome (Atleast somebody in government is doing something!!! amazing) we stayed at this awesome place “Upuls” This place reminds me of the tower of piza!! amazingly built vertical structure with a staircase that will give you vertigo!! but the rooms are cool & the view from the rooms on top is to die for!! seriously!! awesome place & Upul serves up an amazing pizza!!  Unawatuna saved the week for me serious R’n ‘ R and S/D and a no R but it did the trick!!! all in all SUPEERB!!!!! if your ever in Una stay at the top room at upuls u’ll not regret it!!!check out the pic….

CHEERS!!!

The bucket!!

We came across the bucket in Ko Samet Thailand…… It’s an awesome little white sand island full of little suprises & one such awesome suprise was this little bucket that we found on the beach all alone one morning ….We adopted the bucket as one of our own  (kind of like Angelina he he)  & braught it back home with us. “The bucket” is now a permenent travel partner …we never leave home without it!!

Most of you who have been to the Thai islands must have come across “the bucket”!!! It’s an ingeniuos creation for pure intoxication capable of getting one cocked in one sitting & for the budget traveller who loves to booze it’s a gift from god not to be taken lightly – This little fucker is lethal!

Let me tell you a little about what goaes into “the bucket”;WARNING DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME - YOU WILL GET WASTED 

1. Get yourself a little kids beach bucket
2. Get yourself one can (Thai) Redbull
3. One can Coke
4. half a bottle Samsong Thai Whiskey
5. Mix this all together with Ice
6. Drink through a straw for maximum effect

 The bucket is an awesome way to get a party started & don’t worry if you don’t have any samsong around Rockland Rum is a perfect & effectively lethel substitute……………Try it out

CHEERS!!!!!!!

Choo Choo!!

I love travelling by train!!!! seriously never thought it would be such a thrill………….. Believe me after 12 hours standing & occationally sitting down on the side steps freezing… being crushed by fellow passengers who have never heard of common courtesy or deo!… and so much more agany I still came out smelly, filthy & exhausted but I was smiling & thinking that I had an awesome time!!!!

It all started with a plan to go upcountry & get wasted in the cold and also trek a bit to get some much needed exercise…. a few weeks & many evening beer discussions after we fixed ourselves to do Ella…Although I always hated public transport & preffered the beach over anything but numbers matter & I was overruled…. so ella it was & since this was a budget excurtion we were going BY TRAIN!!!

I was in charge of 2 things booking the train & getting the weed!!! but 3 days b4 the trip I had not booked the ticlets, baught the weed or eve taken leave……. 1st things first I put on my best smile & got my leave approved… step 2 (the day of the journey) I sent our trusty pion preme to get our tickets on comfortable 2nd class (I had already done my 1st journy to Anu & it was comfy I slept all the way)…… shit sticks!! it was too fucking late!!! preme came back no tickets!!!! but goof news step 3 worked out better than I imagined I got a nice stash of 100g’s (but how the hell wld we take the damn thing without getting busted he he….)

*.30pm rushed out of office we had to stand in line & get our damn tickets but hey we got it like in 5 minutes but shit “NO SEATS GAURONTEED” we had to fight tooth & nail for it!!…. so we need to get ready & we had a few hours to spare so come 10.15 we were armed & ready with 4 coke bottels mixed with White arrack & a rolled up mary jane… we were ready. the train pulled up. but b4 we could even notice there were people hurling themselves onto it b4 it even stopped!!! shit!!! & by the time we found the cabin there was no space & definitely not a seal in sight. but we were lucky we got the door ha ha!! so we could atleast smoke all the way………………….. the train took off & believe me it  was awesome all the way… we were blazed no doubt but  the experiance was brilliant  – the sights the sounds ………….. given we rode through the night but it had it;s own charm the the chilling wind, the stations that seem so chill you feel like just hanging around there for a while…. the tunnels where you scream your lungs out…… the people who shove you around & those who are so thick they would even sit on your shoulders if you let them!!! …. the stinky loo near the pannel no flush so every time the train stops you hear the drips & smell the shit (litererily!!!) …. the junk food you have all the way there…..

 But the best thing ever is the view as the sun rises man oh man it’s fucking superb!!! It’s breathtakingly awesome …. it just lifts you up!! (specially if you are already in a very high place!) ……………….. I honestly have no words for it so I’ll stop ot right here… go enjoy it yourself is all i have to say!!!

PS – the pic I’ve used is not one of mine (will post mine when I get them developed sometime this month.)

PS 2 – Check out www.go-lanka.com & the Highest Inn at Ella one of the most sweetest & homeliest B’ nB places I’ve bin to….. 5 stars Karen!!

Me & Anjelina :-)

Well incase your wondering…. YES!  Anjelina Jolie was a part of one of my exciting escapades (ha ha Jellous arn’t you??) …..

Well it all hapened purely by chance - who for once favoured poor old me………..

It was a rainy day in April 03″ I had just got my bonus & was over the moon so I trodded off to Odel for a bit of shopping & some gift buying I had to get done for avurudhu. As I walked around checking things out & also keeping an eye out on the goodlooking wildlife roaming abt this fine looking creature caught my eye…… amazing & I felt a pang of jelousy as this hotty was carrying this little chinese baby tight to her bouncing boosom (how I wished I was that baby he he)….. I checked the scene out for a bit & walked off to my shopping ….

 Suddenly it struck me “Fuck!!!! that bitch is Anjelina fucking jolie!!!” nursing the little cambodian brat – man maybe she would adopt me??? hell I live in a third world country – wartorn & hell I was flat broke till that very day –  so poverty was also riding for me …

How come no one noticed??? who would think of bumping into Angelina Jolie in all her hotness at freaking ODEL not me anyways…. so I rushed upto her grabbed the kid… handed him over to a shopper passing by & held her in my arms & we snogged in the middle of ODEL for waht seemed like an etternitty.. Which got her so turned on that she rushed me off to her private jet & we made love 100,000 miles up in the heavens ….. ……………… HA!!!! I wish !!!!!!

anyways wht actually happened was that I sheepishly walked upto her tapped her on the shoulder gave the kid a “how sweet!!” smile & asked her she was indeed the goddess angelina ??? she said yes… I got totally excited blabbered a whole load of shit & said she was “Fucking” amazing & got myself an autograph!!! afterwhich I said let’s meet up later & told everyone I walked passed that Angie was in the premisses which caused a huge stampeed forcing the star to “leave the building”….

 One good thing was I did snog her…. on the cheak though but hell “it was awesome” for those who know me better there’s no other way to explain it other than saying “SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!”…………..

PS – I can’t spell for shit so mind the spelling & enjoy the writing!!!!
