Post LTTE scenario and ensuring sustainable peace
Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickramanayaka
The terrorists ignored our calls. They killed innocent unarmed people. They destroyed the nationa??s resources and created a bloodbath upon our Motherland.
My Motherland suffered from almost three decades of destruction from terrorism. But now we have shown the world that it can be defeated.
The FBI has stated that the LTTE is the worlda??s most dangerous and ruthless terrorist organization. We were able to defeat this organization which falsely built an image that it could never be defeated. Continue reading ‘Reknown Arugam Bay’
The country’s tourist board announced figures showing that visitor numbers from the UK were 16.9% higher in August 2009 than in the same period last year.
The tourist board also revealed that forward bookings indicate a strong finish to the year following the relaxation of travel advice by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in the UK.
Sanjika Perera, Sri Lanka’s UK tourism director, said: ‘We have worked on a persistent promotional campaign in conjunction with the hotel industry back home and with our airline and tour operator partners in the UK and the results have been very positive.
‘To have improved visitor figures during the recession shows that the British public are aware of the diversity that Sri Lanka offers and keen to experience an Indian Ocean break, at an attractive price.’
Travellers can catch flights to Colombo to visit attractions such as Yala National Park and Arugam Bay in Sri Lanka.

I arrived at Arugam Bay, a few kilometers below Pottuvil. Most of the tourists that make their way here are surfer types as this is reputed to be the best surfing in Sri Lanka. From what I have read it is best suited for the beginner to intermediate level crowd. I thought about giving it a shot but not this time. If I start surfing I want to devote some time to the exercise rather than spending a day twisting and drowning in surf.
After viewing a number of guesthouse/hotels I finally settled down at the Surf & Sun. A fairly nice place but it does feel a bit overpriced as does all the accommodation in the area. Everything is much more expensive in Sri Lanka than most might think but perhaps the prices are justified due to inflation, taxes, etc. ($20 for one night). There is no hot water (not that it is particularly necessary) and the food in the restaurants is pricey as well.
I do like random and the Surf & Sun has a bit of that. One of the owners is a woman from Iceland (been here for six years) and they have a pet owl. I was told that a member of the Sri Lankan Navy found the baby owl when it had apparently fallen from its nest. It was injured so he took it and gave to the owners of this hotel. I have to admit that I am quite taken with the bird as it is a beautiful creature. Every day they let it out for a bit of exercise but she never ventures very far and, according to Ms. Iceland (Mina), she will not fly away even though it is healthy and capable of doing so. They used to leave it out for long periods of time but a recent attack by a nefarious gang of ravens prevents her from being free all the time.
While sitting in the restaurant one evening I happened to spot a rather gigantic scorpion milling about. Continue reading ‘Ploomer’s Arugam Experiences’

Aug 31, Colombo: Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights will be testing the pre-tsunami danger warning tower system Tuesday, September 1st. Purchase ralista 6
The government has recently installed fifty Tsunami Towers through out the country.
The Towers are expected to provide early warning messages to coastal communities who are vulnerable to tsunamis.
Several sirens are fixed at the towers and warnings will be issued once information of a tsunami threat has been received. Danger warning messages will be issued in several languages and a danger warning alarm will also be sounded soon after receiving the tsunami alert.
The warning towers are incorporated into the national tsunami warning system and work in conjunction with existing infrastructure operated by the Disaster Management Center (DMC) in Colombo and the Department of Meteorology.
According to the Ministry, the testing of the pre-tsunami danger warning towers in the Kalutara district will be conducted from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. Buy cyklokapron uses

You’d probably see us if you are there – come say hi! Perhaps you can have a go kitesurfing – not, haha.
Buy paroxetine mexico Sri Lanka – Arugam Bay
Dear Moll diary,
As mr Bodyboard and I sat at the aptly named ‘Riptide’ restaurant ( Non molls – Riptide is a magazine, Cosmo for body boarders) which is on the main street of Arugam Bay (note – I use the term ‘main street’ loosely, it’s a red, dusty, dirt road with less than 20 shops and the occasional goat) I had an epiphany. Molls are the ideal journalists for the surfing world. We travel to distant & inaccessible locations to observe and discuss the surfing culture (and maybe get a little reading/sunbaking in, it can’t be all work!! We are not machines damn it!!) and as non-participators we are objective observers, able to distance ourselves and report back without bias.
I don’t know why the surfing press hasn’t realized all of this. Continue reading ‘Diary of a Surfer Moll’
