    I am so inspired to return to my place of birth and sample some of these amazing new dining experiences. I left Sri Lanka (Ceylon) for the UK, back in 1965 and have never been back! God willing I would like to return in 2025 (that's 60 years having been away). I will arm myself with more of your amazing presentations and be well prepared. Thanks for the winsome way in which you make Sri Lanka so good Shen!

    Hey Shenelle. When you do any reviews can you please highlight areas that are wheelchair accessible because I have a son in a wheelchair and would love to visit Sri Lanka with him to enjoy the country, the people, the culture, the food- but it is really difficult to know what is wheelchair accessible. I know lots of people around the world who are wheelchair users and would love to come to Sri Lanka, but are nervous because there is not alot of information available about accessiblity.
