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.

Kovil Lamp lighting and speeches
The lighting of the lamp, all the important guests get to do it, then the speech. I did ask Vithy, the guy on my left if he had any trouble translating my speech and if I paused often enough. His answer led me to believe that he just said what he thought i should say....Sri Lanka!
