Ugly black crows.

Colombo, 05-11-1994. Buddhism is the main religion in this country but from the amount of churches i would presume the catholic faith the be a fair second with a good number of muslims around as well. The first couple of seats in a bus are always reserved for buddhist monks. Like in India there is a huge population of ugly black crows anywhere were there is human population. They live on the filth of the city and seem to eat about anything they can get their claws on. Terribly aggresive birds, one picked me on the head while overflying me a few days ago in the town of Galle. I`ve no doubt they terrorise the small bird life as well, eating their eggs and babies and destoying their nests. I took a bus to the airport today to reserve a room in one of the hotels facing the airport building. They are a bit more expensive than my guest house in Negombo buty at least i Won`t have to worry about curfews or how to get to the airport early in the morning.
