This entry is full of pictures, instead of words. Some days I just want to look at pictures too, and hey, why else do we really read travel blogs?
Anyway, the past few days have been great, and I have been getting a rhythm for walking the streets of Colombo and working 8-5. Crescat Boulevard Mall has been my go-to for lunch and dinner; almost every taxi driver along this stretch yells out every African country they can think of to get a ride with them/give them twice as much as they deserve.
There have been the sketch characters, but what major city doesn't have its resident leering street person, walk-too-close "friendly" neighbor, or policemen not really doing that much?
I'll let the pictures speak now. Read the captions.
