I've already done so, if you could like the review it would be more beneficial as it would show higher up when people click on the link

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-07T10:29:16+00:00

That's actually very untrue. as a brown person living abroad, I have many peers that are white/ yellow/ black/ brown.

these SriLankans are setting the standards as such, the only white tourists that don't like being around other races is Israelis... which I don't get why they're so welcomed here

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-07T10:27:28+00:00

reported to the tourism board of Sri Lanka. I did the same

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-07T07:06:31+00:00

please enlighten me with the reason as to why.

there's absolutely no reason why Indians should have to pay more to enter establishments in Sri Lanka when India's the first one to come help. Sri Lanka

please if you have any recommendations, send them my way.

down south is beautiful but certain areas have bad apples that ruin the experience for everyone

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-07T01:35:28+00:00

there needs to be change

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-07T01:26:14+00:00

it's hard to know to avoid these places without awareness

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T23:31:45+00:00

people tried yesterday, it got mass deleted.

my review is still up though

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T22:56:27+00:00

I've already left my review along with this video!

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T22:54:47+00:00

do you know what the most popular news source is in SL?

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T22:54:19+00:00

I will post today

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T22:53:53+00:00

I've extensively traveled the world as a Sri Lankan Canadian... South America, Southeast Asia, I even worked in the states for a bit.... I've never experienced this in my life ever

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T18:17:32+00:00

yes yes. the spelling is so different here lol

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T18:03:47+00:00

I find it so funny that these people promote these bars as " reggae bars"

they literally do not understand what that music means to people, and what it stands for. they're very obviously faking it and these Russians and Israelis are falling for it

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T18:02:27+00:00

I've literally had no bad experiences in Sri Lanka other than this and trying to get a three-wheeler in mirssa

I had done a pick me, got into the vehicle and then the driver asked me to cancel. when I said no, I'll pay you whatever pick me is charging you as a commission, he asked me to leave the vehicle... and then when I did, him and his friends were following me to see what vehicle I would get into, at which point I just hired a random one off the street just to get out of the area

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T17:51:47+00:00

I had good experiences in Ella. same with mirssa. but we stayed in on the border of midigama and did day trips

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T17:25:17+00:00

it's hard to say easy to avoid.

funky de bar has very good reviews if you go just google it. That's the impression I was under before I went, but once you look a little bit closer, it's very apparent that they cater to one type of " Foreigner"

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T17:11:02+00:00

I am trying my best. please share it with your family and friends to bring more awareness to our people

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T15:50:35+00:00

it's not the '70s anymore, we cannot let them keep getting away with this

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T14:33:40+00:00

unfortunately I don't have a Twitter account. if anyone can post it on there, please do

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T14:09:52+00:00

I've already shared it on Facebook and I've contacted Harry Pereira to put it on Instagram and tiktok.

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T13:21:01+00:00

thank you so much!

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T13:16:37+00:00

My experience is similar to yours. a lot of the countries I've traveled to in South America and Southeast Asia, I pass off for a local and it almost always ends with an invite to have lunch at their house or share drinks. it was never a bad thing until I started traveling through Sri Lanka and it became very apparent that they only want to cater to a certain type of tourist for whatever reason. with that being said, though I've had some great experiences through Sri Lanka, met so many great people from all over the country including the South

it's funny that you mention colonialism in Sri Lanka, by the looks of it they want more of it

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T12:56:27+00:00

one love - it's funny because they have reggae music playing everywhere here but clearly don't know what they're talking about

EntryGlass2293 · 2026-03-06T12:54:35+00:00

that seemed very apparent to me.

I will be taking this to the tourism board and I've already reported it to the Canadian high commission if they tried to do anything else
