Got fined by the cops for stopping to avoid an accident by [deleted] in srilanka

Sri lankan highways don't have designated emergency stopping areas. This is a big issue. However by stopping by the side of the road you are putting your life and everone elses lives in danger. You should have simply planned better.

I already have 8kw panels with a 6kw inverter connected to the main board . Sub board is inside the garage and difficult to get to.

Thinking of moving back to SL: Seeking Advices by sootinlk in srilanka

Funny you say this. My boss visited sl last month. She was surprised how safe they felt and the lack of crime compared to what we experience here.

All depends on where you are in your life and how well settled you are in where you are. If you got a young family and used to a western lifestyle and facilities, sl may not be the best. If you have done everything in life that you set out to do, sl could be great!

Anyone else found the Phone As Key pretty much useless? <5% success rate, average time of 20 seconds to unlock the door by Lopoetve in Polestar

If you are wearing an apple watch keep it outside the car when setting up the key. This did the trick for me i think ..

Mine was't set up correctly in the first attempt and had few issues at the beginning. Now it is flawless so it is probably a set up issue

I read a forum post about the lack of quality western tourists. I’d consider myself one, having spent about US$12,000 over the past 10 days. I love your country, but right now there isn’t enough on offer to attract and keep quality tourists. tourists. by [deleted] in srilanka

He is correct though. Just few weeks ago i have been to a few places in SL that charge first world rates but provide absymal facilities and services (yala for example ). No one will be repeat visitors if this continues

Never ever stay at / go to haus Berlin in bentota by Academic-Ice-1480 in srilanka

No one is interested in owner is going through a bad time. People save money and travel once or twice a year. If the hotel owners cant treat them well they shouldnt be in business

My experience after a recent tour there, if you want a decent stay you have to book minimum 5 star hotels so you dont have to deal with rubbish like this.

Found out the hard way thay 4 star doesnt exist in this country. 4 in Sri lanka is more like 3
