On my tuktuk ride in Colombo I chatted up with the he tuktuk driver who told me about the part of Colombo’s main financial district along the ocean coastline has been leased to China for 99 years. My tuktuk driver was not exactly excited about this, he blames his government. As a foreigner, I was very impressed with the development a country made after 25 years of civil war and tsunami. This is how I saw the city of Colombo. #colombo #travel #srilanka #streetsofcolombo #ceylon #serendip #colonialism #colonialrule #china #asia #city #history #ancient #tsunami #fernweh #countries #instatravel #oldtown #traveller #travellersnotebook #shorttrip #willgoback #itravel #instagram #videos #travelvideos #civilwar #ocean #promenade #beach (at Colombo, Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpNHH12nO3A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1041uuqvyxz7r
