I was reading through your account.
Unawatuna is now almost back to normal, only a couple of places to be repaired still as some do not wish to come back.
Most of the pwople were helped by past visitors.

Hi Alex,
I started reading one of your stories in India and suddenly I found myself reading the hole travel diary!
Damn, I can say you are a great adventurer. The tsunamy one was terrific. I also read a story of your friend Cora that was stolen during her visit to London! (And I thought I was an adventurer just because desperately I had to sleep one night in hide park! Nonsense!).
With such a travel experience you must have, I wonder if you ever considered working and living in any of the counties you have visited.
Looking forward to read more stories
Carlos

I read some of the storis told about my beloved, beautiful country. I wish my people will see the the God given beauty as these visitors see it,and love it and cherich it, and pass it to the next generation.
God Almighty Who warns us and invite for coversion so that we may not perish forever will definitely build it again as it is God’s santuary. But the speed will depend on our coopration of ourselves. Budhist who persecute Christian over there as well as the government leaders as well as the terrorist who destroying the country for last 23 years destrying should learn to love and share each otherwith respectand caring.

What an amazing account: it fills in a lot of gaps, thank you. It seems to me you have been incredibly, incredibly, lucky. How wonderful those Sri Lankans are: so hospitable, and the monk so selfless…lolyrmxxx
