Unawatuna at 7 AM. Just an amazing place about 120 km from Colombo. Unfortunately, I didn't get to take any pictures later in the day, since a wave took me by surprice while reading. Getting soaked not a problem - my camera getting soaked BIG problem :( Now, no more camera - DARN! Anyways, the place is just lovely. It's close to Hikkaduwa where we went for the beach festival. Also a nice location, but much more turisty - even though it's nothing compared to other places. Swimming is a lot safer in Unawatuna than Hikka (where surfing should be really great). , because it has a bay like form - still the waves a big enough to take you by surprice apparently!! I hope it will be a place that'll come to know much better in the next months :) Next time, I think I'm gonna try the train to Galle, and then grap a Tuc tuc the rest og the way (that will probably cost me the same as a ticket with the Metro in Cph!)
Today was the first day at work, and I feel quite confident that it'll be some very interesting months ahead! Around 50 people work at the office, and then another 100 some where else in city. I had a very good day :) Everyone is very accomdating, and I'm really looking forward to, hopefully, getting to know them all much better. Tomorrow is a normal work day again, but Wedensday will be off because of Poya, which is public holiday. Every time there's a full moon it's called Poya. It's mostly something Budist celebrate. They go temple and pray for most of the day, for others it's just a day off. One of the things that's already struck me as something very special about Sri Lanka, is that 4 of the 5 biggest religions in the world are represented amongst the people living here: Buddism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. This is in a country that is, geography wise, only 1 1/2 times bigger than Dk! Who said that different religions cannot co-exist in peace and harmony ?
