Curious to know if anyone here has done it? What's it like?

I have a few options there. I am aware there is some unrest there, but I will be down South if I go.

Your input is appreciated. Thanks.

I have not but a former VSO volunteer who taught in the north shared a story he had written to be published on my blog: http://www.tefllogue.com/the-teaching-life/why-are-you-outstanding-a-former-vso-volunteers-account-of-teaching-in-sri-lanka.html

VSO does work with organizations there and you may find more on their site (I realize you're looking for individuals at Dave's to share their experience, but if you don't find any, that might not be a bad bet...)

Lanka's a nice place to live in (I have a house here), but difficult to impossible to get a job teaching English that pays a living wage.

The three I know of are the American University of Colombo, the British Council and the Canadian school in Negombo.
