My Blog, started to record my adventures as I headed off to live and work in Sri Lanka for a couple of years in March 2006. The blog is now a general record of what I am doing, I have also added the VSO process detail from April 2005 for new Volunteers reading it. Please note: the views expressed in this blog are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect those of VSO.

Vesak in Galle
Vesak, the birth, death and enlightenment of Buddha all celebrated on the same day, 1st full moon in May. Lots of paper lanterns are made, they range in size, some are huge and very complex, all look great when all lit up. We came upon the lorry in Galle Fort and watched the children being prepared to take part in activities, they are a choir.
