Editor Sherry’s Sri Lanka Travel Report 3/3

Sri Lanka is famous for their 6 cultural World Heritage sites. The last several days we visited a couple of sites on the list. Our first stop of the day was Sigiriya — the Lion Rock.
When I first looked at the site, I thought about Uluru. Well, they are similar since both of them are giant natural rocks. The difference is the site in Sigiriya was human modified: they built palaces, digged swimming pools, and drew paintings on the wall.

Editor Sherry’s Sri Lanka Travel Report 2/3

So far so good? Perfect. Let’s start with day 1.
After breakfast, we got a taxi to take us to Colombo city. The airport says Colombo international airport, but its actually very far from Colombo. It took us more than three ours to get there. Our driver did not speak English, so we had a fun time explaining where we were going to him.

【ICHIBA JUNCTION】 What’s Satsumaage?

– Mother’s cooking taste. Good match with any dishes –
Satsumaage is one of the deep-fried fish paste cakes. It was good as a disposal method of fish which is too small to cook for sashimi or simmered dishes, or have a lot of small bones in it when high fish catches.
