IT REALLY RAINS IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.

Colombo, 03-11-1994. Getting soaked by a tropical downpour in the streets of Colombo makes me long for the closed confinements of an over-populated Colombo city bus, or maybe just a bar with ice-cold beer. As I have said before: when it rains in this part of the world, IT REALLY RAINS!!!I took a local bus to the nearby beach resort of Negombo today. Very interesting fish market on the beach - basically the fishermen selling their catch of the day right out of the boat. Many camara toting toursts from the nearby tourist district crowding around looking for the perfect photo opportunity. The district itself was overpriced to the max and considering the huge amount of hotels and restaurants almost completely devoid of tourists. They were either all still busy with their camaras on the beach or asleep in their expensive hotel rooms.
