Colombo is the place where I spent most of my teenage years.  It’s quite the happening city with drivers on stand by to take you wherever you want.  From tea houses to bakeries, to gourmet foods,  it also boasts the latest in ready-to-wear fashions that is imported all over the world.  Colombo also has fully stocked museums where you can learn more about Sri Lanka’s history and 5 star hotels that are ready to show you around and be right by your side.  Colombo also still has many buildings from the 1800’s.  DSC_0971
