    Hi fam 💙 Firstly, sorry we spelt 'Pidurangala' wrong. Secondly, Welcome to our new series CARRY ON! No sponsors, no clients (yet), self-funded. A lot of joy and laughs as we carry on to show you lesser known destinations around the world with just one carry-on bag!
    We're changing the way we do things here so we've cut all RUclips ads (except when the video ends lol) So you get the best of our content!
    We've also been hard at work for a brand new interview heart-to-heart talk series where we chat with inspiring individuals and delve into their journey. All this and more coming up really soon! You can follow my Instagram and TikTok for other food and travel recommendations!
    Thank you for your support! It's gonna be good. Love, Aiken, Char, Gaius, (and Nina!)

    My experience of Sri Lanka was the same as you guys as well. We went to Sri Lanka way before COVID and was basically treated like walking cash cows. This was pre Covid so it’s not because tourism suffered, it’s just in their mindset, I can only blame the generous angmos.
    Our tour guide/ driver would constantly bring us to places where he would get commission from, we would ask him to bring us to a certain elephant sanctuary and he would still bring us to somewhere completely different. We were also constantly bombarded by kids asking for money when we visit tourist spots.
    Overall we still had a good time and the untouched nature was beautiful, but I would only return in maybe 10 years when the country is not so Lok kok with trash and crows everywhere

    @yongjie1555 10 месяцев назад

    Lived in Sri Lanka for 2 years and it's truly an astounding place. You should totally check out the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple at Kandy, and home stays at Nuwara Eliya. It's truly a sight to behold.

    is that really Nina at 0:15???
    I love the mix of vlog and cinematic content! Is Aiken and Nina dating (yet)?! I absolutely love their vibing, the lame jokes and just their chemistry and screen presence! Can we have more of Nina please?
    I can totally relate to how Nina felt when they forced you to buy their stuff! The same thing happened to us at a street market stall in Hong Kong, the stallholder was grabbing on to my mum's arm and wouldn't let go! I panicked and got really angry but in the end we managed to leave... the stallholder wouldn't give up and chased us down the street cursing!
    I'm glad you guys managed to get away safely, it's not a pleasant predicament if it escalated.
    Anyhow, looking forward to more content!

    • @AikenChiaMing
      @AikenChiaMing  Год назад +6

      Thank you for typing this out Valerie!!! Much to our parent's disappointment, we're both not dating but have such a great time hanging out and laughing. Haha ya!! Nina was so upset and felt quite betrayed by our tour guide! My heart goes out to the people because it's tough on them since tourism has decreased but also lesson learned!
