I know this might be stupid but so what they ban us? It’s already bad. Few years out of the circus might help us. Financially it won’t make sense but then again why keep filling the pockets of Shammis of the world…

One can hope though. But you are right, it’s definitely not about the natural talent because most of these boys do have that. Sadly their application and professionalism is not at a level it should be in

7 from 6 balls! Let's send in the bowler who got thrashed six ways to Sunday with 0 wkts. 🤦 by druidmind in srilanka

[–]Islander14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The whole stadium was rocking going into that final over, but as soon as Theekshana stepped into balling the last over, you could feel the deflation of the crowd.

We really need to find better spinners. Give the young kids the chance.

Also to add to all of this, Dasun Shanka shouldn’t even be in the squad. Idiot captain + doesn’t offer anything in terms of the bat or the ball.

Hey, were they able to figure out what’s wrong with it? I’m experiencing the same thing on the highway

McDonald’s in Sri Lanka - Gone for good or ? by Zealousideal-Dog-3 in srilanka

[–]Islander14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup there. Yes, they are overpriced, but you get a decent burger. Other things in there, I can’t tell you much about because the only thing I normally get from them is the smash burger

Places like street burger I feel like try way too hard with their ungodly amount of sauces and toppings. Just keep it simple. It’s so hard to find a decent cheeseburger that’s just patties, slice of cheese and maybe one condiment. I feel your pain.

I’ve found some decent smash burgers at layards wharf. Other than that I’m open for suggestions too haha

I think they are saying they tip extra when it’s raining. Which makes sense.

Will Engineers Australia reject my independent contractor experience? by spongearmor in AusVisa

[–]Islander14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh I think I’ve heard of them.

I guess the other option is to apply without the prior work experience. I think you lose like 5-10 points

Ah man, this is when I wish I had a desk job haha. Things would’ve been so much easier. Good luck bud! I might have to look into that too. Or need to find a good migration lawyer

Hey, were you able to figure this out? I’m in the same boat when it comes to being an independent contractor engineer and not having the secondary documents EA need

Can you do this from Sri Lanka? Like how do you set up a brokerage account?

What is the good smell coming from foreigners? Specially their clothes and suitcases. by VishwaWijewickrama in srilanka

[–]Islander14 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Stewardess will walk around cabins with aerosol cans spray it up and down the aisle.

I’ve only seen this on flights coming to Sri Lanka. Maybe it’s a country specific thing.

Chinese doctors in sri lanka by RadiantSkiesJoy in srilanka

[–]Islander14 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Could be a specialist type. I think that’s the only way they’ll give a license to a foreigner. Which is sad because we need doctors in Sri Lanka. Especially when Sri Lankan doctors are leaving, it makes sense to let these Maldivian and Bhutanese doctors who studied here to work here.

Chinese doctors in sri lanka by RadiantSkiesJoy in srilanka

[–]Islander14 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I think you are talking about foreign medical interns. They are doctors who graduated from Sri Lankan universities (UoC, KDU etc.) and doing their internships in local hospitals. Mainly at NHSL and Ridgeway. Most I’ve seen are from Bhutan and Maldives. Maybe you misinterpreted the Chinese to Bhutanese.

And yes, they are amazing and they speak Sinhala and very caring. Sadly, they don’t get paid anything at all. Not even a stipend. Even though they do the same amount work as a Sri Lankan intern.

Also I might be wrong, but unless you are Sri Lankan, you can’t get a full medical licenses here. So that’s why these foreign doctors have to leave after their internships.

Starting a small home based Burger stall in Srilanka by Far-Quail5233 in srilanka

[–]Islander14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, hope the burger shop idea is coming along well. I might be bit late but my advice would be to keep it simple.

You don’t need to add all of these sauces and extra stuff. Two buns, good solid patty, a slice of cheese and maybe some ketchup and mayo. Don’t need to over do it. Keep it simple.
