Sounds like Kandy is a must. Hill country.

Hikkaduwa - is that the best beach to go to?

Colombo....any major things to see there? I heard most of Sri Lanka is quite quiet come evening time...any exception in Colombo?

Beyond Kandy, Hikkaduwa, and Colombo...and other must sees for Sri Lanka?

there are cricket games in colombo

the traditional market in colombo is interesting

friday night at the kovils is very interesting

i personally liked this place even though the prices are sort of high.......it is worth stopping in IMO

I'm seriously thinking about going there sometime soon to check it out
