Wandering around Mt. Lavinia.

Colombo, 06-11-1994. wandering through Colombo and Mt. Lavinia today despite the heat. My departure date is creeping up on me so I am preparing myself for hectic and chaotic India. The end of Galle Face Green - no green to be seen - is full with a sorts of shady characters that offer me dope, snake charmers whose snakes perform their antics doped out of their minds i believe. They make their trained and doped up cobras waggle their heads and the monkey wallaws let their dressed up monkeys dance for a few meagre Rp. With the big hotels nearby and all the fat german tourist couples I can understand they ply their trade here.
