    KANDY's Ancient Name: It is called Kanda Udarata (කන්ද උඩරට) in Sinhala, which translates to "Mountain Up-country." Colonial Influence: During the colonial period, the colonizers had difficulty pronouncing the local name correctly, leading them to refer to it simply as "Kanda," meaning "Mountain" in Sinhala. Over time, this evolved into the name "Kandy," which is widely recognized today.

    13:18 That's called "seeni sambal". There are several different sambals in Sri Lanka (like in Indonesia and Malaysia). You'll notice that Sri Lankan food is typically in the middle of the food spectrum between South Indian food and Indonesian/Malaysian foods. There are loads of influence from both plus some European and Chinese influences.

    • @ayngelina
      @ayngelina  2 месяца назад +2

      Yes actually sambal actually came to Sri Lanka during Dutch Colonization as they brought over Indonesians as slaves and indentured workers. I did a bit of research to see overlap foods but also Alan noticed similarities with his home country.

Even me when I'm traveling with my family, ask about the risky places to avoid from there. Also as a Sri Lankan I can confirm that snakes are commonly out in hot days(I mean burning hot days) but in rainy season, they are living in covered places or snake houses. (looks like little clay mountains) So we don't see snakes those days. Locals are familiar with these things. But more than snakes, In Sri Lanka we can easily see the rich beauty of pure nature that none of the other countries show you❤️🇱🇰

    When you eat authentic Sri Lankan rice and curry, the secret to getting the best taste and flavour is to use your hand to mix the curries with rice since SL rice and curry consist of minimum 3 items. If you use fork and spoon, then you will not have the proper taste. If you are a tourist who likes to try SL rice and curry, my advice is to use your fingers to mix.

    During the colonial period Europeans never managed to purely militarily overwhelm the defenses of Kandy. You may remember the mountainous roads you had to follow before reaching Kandy. Proper roads were only built during British rule and even British wouldn't have overwhelmed the kingdoms defenses if the last king hadn't alienated his nobles who supported and let the English army cross the mountainous borders with no opposition. Before those roads, travelling into the kingdom in large numbers (as an army march) when the inhabitants are determined to stop you was an absolute death sentence. In 1803 British army invaded Kandy only to be harassed all along the way and find an empty city. And Sinhalese engaged in a long guerilla warfare cutting British supply lines and letting the army succumbed to illness. Also, there were records of rolling huge stones from the top of mountains on unsuspecting Portuguese/ Dutch / English armies. Basically, technologically advanced British army was slaughtered, and the city was reclaimed. Dutch East India Company (VOC) stopped invading all together because it seemed a fruitless effort that costs a lot after failing to conquer Kandy and started to butter up the king instead. Actually, the place even has a myth stating that this land is a land of victory, and it was one of the reasons the old kings saw this place as the obvious capital when facing off against European invasions. This place is the best example you will see in Sri Lanka that shows how geography can be such a deciding factor for military defenses.

    Kandy is a corruption of the Sinhalese word for mountain "Kandhdha " කන්ද. Its local name and original name is Senkandagala Sen (Army) kada (Break) Gala (Rock) meaning the rock that broke invading armies (This name was given after a major battle when Kandians defeated another local kingdom's army in an ancient battle. the city is also called MahaNuwara (Great City) or Just Nuwara (City) which is Still used today. It is said that in the Portuguese time when they tried to reach the mountain kingdom, they asked the locals, where the King and his army's at and the locals pointed towards the mountains and said "kandhe" meaning in the mountain , Due to the language difference the Portuguese documented and repeated this as Ka-n-Dy so all westerners that follwed called the Manahuwara as KANDY.

    It's not the best city or region. Castism is still there, it's still embedded to people's minds there. And kandy city area has the highest air pollution in the country. Because of the high humidity there, our bodies don't sweats enough to cool down in sunny middays so it becomes hot and uncomfortable. And the city is too tightly packed. Not enough space for pedestrians. And PARKING IS THE WORST.
