Hello Sri Lanka!
Reached Colombo city today... I'm going to be here for the next 4 days, shopping for my new home in a small coastal town in the Indian Ocean! Why am I shopping in Colombo? Because the town I've just moved to has EXORBITANTLY high prices for most grocery items when compared with the rest of the South Asia region.
I plan to buy a few kitchen essentials (a deep frying pan/stockpot, serving spoons, melamine bowls to serve meals in), dry grocery items (lentils, rice, pasta), bathroom & linen items (towels, razor blades, cushion covers) and decorative items (a few things from the lovely boutique home decor shops in Colombo).
It's lovely to be in Sri Lanka again: it's such a warm, gorgeous, healing place. Amazing food, amazing people -- sounds like an island cliche, but it's SO true!
Here's wishing me some productive shopping, catching up with old friends, and eating deelish food like the droolworthy prawns at Gallery Cafe below! *slurp*
