Christine,

Thank you for your kind welcome. It's most appreciated.

Life in Colombo is good. I have been here on and off for a year and usually had a few colleagues with me but this time i'm fending for myself. My first impressions were better than I could ever have imagined. The culture, the warmness of the people, the bustle, the weather, the food, the laid back lifestyle are all part of the character of the country.

I like Clanceys and a few of the bigger hotels bars and clubs but I must admit we were a little off the beaten track the last time I was here and work was hectic so I didn't get out as much as I'd have liked to. I'm much closer the the City Centre now so I hope some dear ex-pat take pity on me and can show me the ropes!
