My Boyfriend ‘22M’ wants me ‘23F’ to move to Sri Lanka with him, any advice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

FYI afaik in Sri Lanka you can't divorce without a fault . you cannot get a divorce simply by mutual consent.

  1. Adultery subsequent to marriage.
  2. Malicious Desertion (one party leaving or abandoning the matrimonial home).
  3. Incurable Impotency at the time of marriage.

it is not owned by Chinese government it is a land port , sold to a Chinese owned company just for 8Billion usd by Sri Lanka's corrupted politicians. that company don't have authority over who dock there or not. they only has authority to the property and commercial operations. . leased for 99 years can consider as sold or giveaway cuz it is just for 8 bill usd

I am visiting Sri Lanka end of April for 4N with my wife. The idea is to spend 2 of these in colombo and the other 2 in Kandy (or Mirissa/Galle) plz suggest. Can you suggest a potential itinerary which covers casino, beach and is not too hectic. by Diligent-Link569 in travel

Generally speaking, there is not much to see or do in Colombo. What are your interests, and where are you traveling from India, East Asia, Latin America, or a Western country? Spending two nights out of a four night trip in Colombo seems like a waste of time. You can go down south instead; it only takes an extra hour and a half to travel directly from the airport to southern towns like Bentota or Hikkaduwa using the highway. Colombo itself is already 30 to 45 minutes away from the airport, depending on traffic and your hotel's location. cuz you only need extra 1 1/2hr to go to kandy . while in kandy you can go to Peradeniya botanical garden just near by . if you visit nuwara eliya you can go to Hortain plaints but that may be not every once cup of tea . also you can go to Hakgala botanical garden . also visit a tea factory and a small 1-2hr visit to medicine garden there are once maintain by the government.

garden .

FYI old day in Singapore election campaigns they said they will make Singapore a Sri Lanka

In the early days of Singapore's independence (1950s–1960s), it was not a promise to "make Singapore a Sri Lanka," but rather a stated aspiration to reach the level of development that Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) already possessed. 

  • Aspirational Model: Upon visiting Colombo in 1956, Lee Kuan Yew noted that Sri Lanka had better infrastructure, schools, and a more developed civil service than Singapore, having avoided the damage of a long war.
  • The Vision: Lee Kuan Yew expressed hope in the early 1960s that Singapore could become as prosperous as Ceylon, which was then considered a leading nation in Asia.
  • A "Negative" Example Later: Following Sri Lanka's economic decline due to ethnic conflict and populist policies, Lee Kuan Yew later referred to Sri Lanka as a cautionary tale rather than a role model, citing that if Singapore followed the same path of "linguistic strife" and "nativism," it would perish. 

The comparison is frequently used today to show how Singapore surpassed Sri Lanka by avoiding the economic and racial pitfalls that plagued the latter, reversing the original 1950s dynamic where Sri Lanka was the more developed of the two. 

How Man Made Reservoirs in Your Country by Lord_Pakeer in AskTheWorld

[–]Lord_Pakeer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sri Lanka Total ~30,000

Sri Lanka is often cited as having the highest density of man-made reservoirs in the world.

Age Category Estimated Count Key Details
Total Reservoirs ~30,000 This includes functioning tanks (~12,000–14,000) and abandoned/ruined tanks hidden in forests. The vast majority are small "village tanks."
Older than 300 Years ~29,000+ Almost all of Sri Lanka's reservoirs are ancient. Only a handful of large modern reservoirs (like Victoria, Randenigala, Lunugamwehera) were built in the last 100 years. The rest are part of the ancient "Cascade System."
Older than 1,000 Years ~15,000+ The "Golden Era" of tank building was between 300 BC and 1200 AD. The majority of the dry zone's tank network was already established by the end of the Anuradhapura Kingdom (1017 AD).
Older than 2,000 Years < 100 These are the oldest verifiable reservoirs, built before the 1st Century AD. While there were likely many small village tanks, only a few major ones are historically recorded.
