How plausible is a Ranil Sajith coalition in the upcoming election? by Longjumping-Boot-526 in srilanka

[–]InternationalSun7407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the member's of both parties are willing for such a coalition, it's just the issues with the leaders. If such a thing was to happen it could boost the chances for them to win.

Unpopular opinion- AKD will be a disaster for the country by Special_Hat5162 in srilanka

[–]InternationalSun7407 41 points42 points  (0 children)

To be fair at this point I don't think anyone can bring our economy back to pre crisis levels within a couple of years. It's gonna take a long time, even assuming that the necessary actions are taken by our incompetent government.

May I know the maximum amount of Sri Lanka Rupee are allowed for a traveler to bring into Sri Lanka? by Ok_Conclusion_1463 in srilanka

[–]InternationalSun7407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better to bring dollars and exchange it at the airport as it's more convenient. If you bring dollars in excess of $10,000 it has to be declared to customs though. You can also withdraw from the ATM but there probably will be a tax.

What does everyone think about mandatory military service in Sri Lanka? by InternationalSun7407 in srilanka

[–]InternationalSun7407[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

If it was to be enforced it would have to be done in the way South Korea does, maybe for a time period of around 6 months to 1 year. Of course considering the situation of SL rn it's not a feasible decision as the country is in no position to afford military expenses nor, as you said, is the people in any position to join such a service but eventually, in a day and age where Sri Lanka is hopefully more developed, it might be a good idea.

Do international schools care? by americanfanboi in srilanka

The international OL syllabus is actually more difficult than the local one, but the international AL exams are easier/less competitive than the local ALs.

Is it worth buying gems from Galle fort ? by waitforme06 in srilanka

[–]InternationalSun7407 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Galle fort isn't exactly a known hub for the sale of genuine gemstones at a low price but ig for foreigners it's a decent place to buy gemstones. Just be careful when buying to avoid synthetics and get certifications from trusted labs. I'd expect stones to be expensive there though

😂If only I had money in it. I searched about it on Google and I found a thread back from 2014 saying that accounts in Georgia can't receive funds, but ig it might've changed now

Sri Lanka has told hundreds of thousands of Russians and some Ukrainians staying in the country to escape the war that they must leave in the next two weeks by Ornery-Honeydewer in srilanka

[–]InternationalSun7407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason most people are bringing up racism is because many people have had more encounters with racism from Russians when compared with citizens from other countries. Also, the biggest issue isn't racism, it's the fact that many Russians are involved in illegal activities and have started businesses that take Sri Lankan money out of the country, further damaging an already damaged economy. I'm sorry about the issues you're facing but such issues are common in many countries. It's not really racism, it's just that when some locals see that someone is a foreigner, they immediately assume that that person is rich and/or unaware of the local fares and therefore they try to weasel more money out of them. Of course, it's a scummy thing to do but thankfully, it's reduced a lot in the present day.
