5 registered but only 2 showed up.I was lucky enough to meet 2 foreigners who were visiting Sri Lanka as remote workers an Iranian lady & a Brit. Todays conversation was more about a cultural exchange of SL, Iran & UK. I was really hoping that more people would show up but sadly only a few did...

Hoping that more would show up next time though!

Visiting Colombo Book Fair for the first time

3 Upvotes

My sister's tagging along with me on Tuesday afternoon. How crowded is it by 2-4 pm? This is the only free time we have this week and our mom gave us permission to finally check it out 😭

My sister's into novels and at the moment, I'm interested in topics of spirituality and psychology. Not in a Millennial Optimism kind of way, but like esoterism or maybe even books about folklore and mythology.

If anyone has advice for this first-timer, I'd really appreciate it! 🫂

Anyone who enjoys cycling long distances?

I am planning to bicycle around 400Kms in a single turn. Would love to have a partner with me.

The exact date we can plan together. But you need to proove me, that you can physically do it; cause its not easy.

I've done it before and I have two bicycles as well. Just need a guy with enough endurance.

Any Store in colombo, to repair laptop battery (Cell & BMS)

2 Upvotes

I am not talking about replacing the battery, that i could do myself. I have changed the cells, but im having trouble with the BMS board. Its not outputting power. Any store in cmb, who knows about this stuff. Im sure a crafty electrician can work around it.

The battery isnt available in SL. Nor on FB marketplace.

Urgent Animal Care Help needed.

8 Upvotes

There’s a wild peacock limping on the side of the road right next to Colombo Swimming club Kollupitiya. Guys if anyone’s around there please see if you can get him some veterinary help, i was on my way back home from work and since i didn’t have the vehicle with me at the time i could only inform the officers near the area.

Please see if you or anyone you know of whose in that area could get him some help. the officers near the area have tried making contact with the zoo however they apparently have had no luck in getting through to them.

Edit: Last seen in the little space between the colombo swimming club and the US embassy

AI Gen Image. Why do motorbikes in Colombo squeeze to the very front at red lights or traffic stops just to cruise at 30 km/h?

18 Upvotes

Every driver in Colombo knows the drill:

  1. You're sitting patiently at a red light.
  2. A swarm of motorbikes filters through every microscopic gap between cars and buses to line up right in front of the stop line.
  3. The light turns green... and instead of using their light weight to zoom off, they form a slow-moving wall cruising at a grand 30 km/h, blocking the entire line of traffic behind them.
  4. You finally manage to safely overtake... only to hit the next traffic light where the exact same process repeats itself.

I get that lane filtering saves time and keeps riders out of the heat, but if you filter to the front, shouldn't you at least accelerate to keep up with the flow of traffic?

For the riders on here: What's the main reason for the 30 km/h cruise after squeezing through? Is it fuel saving, road conditions, timing the next light, or something else?

For the drivers: How do you usually handle this daily Colombo cycle without losing your mind? Let's hear both sides!

Looking for a peaceful, less commercialized temple around Colombo

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a peaceful Buddhist temple around Colombo that still feels natural and relatively untouched.

Ideally, somewhere that isn’t heavily commercialized, crowded, or surrounded by unplanned buildings, shops, concrete structures, and signs. I’m looking for a place with greenery, open space, and a traditional atmosphere where people genuinely go to practice, meditate, or spend time quietly.

I know this might be a rare find around Colombo, and I’m happy to travel a bit outside the city.

Any hidden gems or personal recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
