Thought I would do in Guangzhou in early August with ID card passport's new policy, but this time the yangcheng evening news "baocuo, wait until Aug. 8, Guangzhou Police Bureau or no movement but to nonstop for my wife to do the private Passport, produced $ 4000 individual deposit plus unit that is finally, after the end of August to the Passport.
Use the Passport to my wife and I to Guangzhou interval the tour operators sought the Maldives Tours of price, then gztc, travel guide, travel, etc. are clearly told me they didn't self-tour, 11 during a team, to around 10 September to certainly.
But the new journey, comfort travel to call me back and said, my travel, flights, domestic water housing 4 ~ 5 nights (mainly want to experience sleeping pillow waves romantic), quotes are not less than $ 10 000. In addition, I also found a travel agency in Beijing, Maldives 6 days out of the $ 12800 price.At this point, I turn our gaze to Hong Kong.

So I find Guangzhou kangtai (World Bank), they told me that China kangtai branches cannot be outbound tour, but after consultations, they will help me to go to Hong Kong registration (province of my own running a trip), each person they charged me HK $ 100 handling fee. So everything so decided.In the meantime, in order to determine its return in Sri Lanka for the night if you want to advance for visas, I've come to call, send a fax to Beijing Embassy of Sri Lanka has been consulting, has finally seen the light, Sri Lanka has a 30-day tourist visa-free access, so that all the difficulty of travel are solved.

Go to Hong Kong on a Garden Hotel, Guangdong train to Kowloon korotkoff Austin terminus of HK $ 120, and then direct ride free minibus to K5 to Kowloon Railway station, take the Airport Express line.
Since we are in the afternoon of the plane, so I bought a HK $ 90 of Airport Express ticket, go to the Office of the city pre check-in, baggage and take the Pass Board. Slovak airlines counter check-in of Miss Hong Kong very worried about our night 11: 30 (Local Time) to Colombo international airport, only a lot of hours too late ride 00: 45 (Local Time)-off the flights to Maldives, repeatedly asked we have a walk through this line, there is no one answered, no guide random, hear a series of negative answer, also asked how our English, this time unaffordable said also. Did not concern the issue of connecting flights, Colombo, was she so ask, but was some nervous.After paying out luggage and his wife go out to eat a bowl of chaos, I didn't expect this became the next five days, we had only a good Chinese food.
Then stroll down the streets of Hong Kong, by the way-point $, $ Saturday afternoon closed on Hong Kong Bank can only make the streets of two Exchange for shop account, in the face of cheap Watson's Times Square HK $ 78 $ Kodak disposable underwater cameras can only be a dark bitter pill to swallow, bought a pair of Markdown processing beach shoes for foot wear that couple soles of shoes made of sand, but to take over in the Maldives and old shoes with me snorkeling excursion to the slightest fault, but the new shoes have twice the risk of breakage.But Hong Kong Airport Express line is really easy, from Kowloon Railway station: 19 minutes to Chek Lap Kok Airport, very fast, but the service is also very good, really hope Guangzhou new airport to supporting similar services.
Afternoon at the Hong Kong new airport boarding time forgot to check-in that is quite a departure, in order to run the associated procedures, 1 hour before departure of the aircraft (' flights Hong Kong local time 18: 10-off), my wife and I walk in the airport lobby photography, when we are not tight not slow to enter the departure hall, only to realize after departure clearance time Office is already very tight.
SI route flight and in the way of local boarding Gate26, done after we would never dare to take a leisurely walk through of the conveyor belt, diligent, hard drive slow sped is at 17: 40 to the boarding gate. Fortunately, there is no set as domestic Baiyun Airport 30 minutes ahead of time as the boarding of the unemployed.' Flights after two more hours of flight landed at Bangkok International Airport, comfortable to enjoy a delicious meal on the plane is not think air hostesses in English with curry flavour.
A small number of guests in Bangkok next machine, Bangkok airport ground staff up for cleaning, and dozens of passengers boarding, an hour after we continue to take off to Colombo.At this point I and my wife surprised to discover that the aircraft should have plenty of cards with a tourist card, ask what they belong to three tours, Shenzhen, including a mission in Shenzhen China travel service, they are going to the Maldives.
The group is made up of Shenzhen, organization, and then by the Hong Kong Association of travel agencies, some guided tours from Hong Kong. Plus we have about 40 people at the Maldives, I and my wife in laments the homeland people's prosperity prosperous, couldn't help but also has a touch of the past.' Flights more than half an hour ahead of schedule, arrived in Colombo is not our main reason for the successful turnaround, in fact, in the very small only four gate of the Colombo international airport, and does not exist does not find the possibility of connecting flights.
The lingering nearly 1 hour later, we reached the top of the Emirates Dubai by male fly flights, to the local time on September 29, 1: 00 (Maldives and Colombo has one hour time difference) arrived in the Maldives international airport.Entry is found in the plane actually forgot to fill in the entry table, but friendly Maldives customs officials to help me in tables easily fill a few words, they cover a chapter on me in the past, it is surprisingly smooth.
The airport will soon find a Full Moon Beach Resort's agent counters, produce after the single ticket left him again, he confirmed return ticket, he will open a document to give you back with this documents in exchange for your tickets.
And we arrived in the Maldives for three successive Chinese tour groups from their village to go by boat from the agent schedule, finally, I and my wife was received a boat, it seems, Full Moon Beach Resort today only two guests.
Have booked experience, return from Full Moon Beach Resort is an exception to the airport, the airport check-in formalities at the met from Beijing and one of the Guangdong people in Pakistan to build a project, take a holiday to the Maldives travel of the machine.
They came from Pakistan via Dubai, here in the Maldives then out of the airport and hotel, price quote also cheap travel agency, it seems that this is a way to save money.From the Maldives to fly to Colombo or travelling on Emirates plane, the plane's passengers has only made us have the time and the U.A.E. aviation recruitment, Korea stewardess on familiar Hostess Special Hat let's photography.
After arriving in Colombo-length later in another table, but on 4 October morning from Colombo airport experience is exciting.5 am (Local Time), we take a car just to enter the airport terminal building, see the terminal building, like our domestic train station as crowded with many people in Sri Lanka by airplane.
Due to the Sri Lankan Government and Tamil Tigers of the peace agreement has just come into force, the airport security situation is grim, our luggage after an open package inspection, hand luggage is successively by three artificial security inspection.Starting from Hong Kong when we already know that, apart from Colombo airport is the airport tax to buy, our other airport taxes are already included in the cost of the travel agency.
But who knows, we sell to Colombo airport counter of airport taxes, he told here don't accept US dollars, only accept local currency Truffi. No way, but to quickly find the currency exchange offices at the airport with 21 dollars a 2000 Truffi (according to the exchange rate is one kind of gave us four Truffi, avoid 1 US dollar a heap of waste), bought the airport tax.SI route of Airbus 340 aircraft flying smooth, local time is 8: 00 am to take off late in the 20th minute, more than three hours after arrival at Bangkok International Airport smoothly.
Here, dozens over Thailand travel to Hong Kong continues to run-length of Shanghai people boarded the plane, so I and my wife has lost its hitherto dominated by a row of seats lying sleeping pleasure.Hong Kong local time 17: 10 aircraft arrival, while I and my wife immediately catch slow sped through immigration procedures, to travel at our airport counters, 17: 45 by direct bus or no bit, good at 18: 15 a ban, we managed to be successful at 21: 30 in the evening back to the home.
III. food and accommodation pages
From the Maldives international airport on board small Pier, in four South Asian black skin boatman accompanied by resort, I and his wife looked tanned night sky and the deep sea, some myself.
However, after 25 minutes of Full Moon Beach Resort dock four or five pieces full of simplicity smiling faces, and makes us both in the heart of a stone is fell.On entering the hotel lobby, a hot towel, a cup of black tea with milk of Sri Lanka, suddenly relieved our journey of Lao spent.
Hotel receptionist very professional help us fill in the accommodation list, you need to do is sign the endorsement. Then we got the room key, gave us a tip a boot ', he is very enthusiastic to help us introduce room services facilities. Subsequently to send luggage to waiter, the US dollar became the island's first consumer.The Maldives since long reception of tourists in Europe, the resort's services are very professional and careful.
Such as you to the Islands, Reception has been developed for you a detailed itinerary Planner, you walk the night before, the hotel will offer a plan for you, tell you the next day when the diplomatic baggage in the door to Porter, go to restaurant (we 3 October morning leaving, the restaurant has 6: 30 in the morning as we take a few early machines BrigadeGuest banquet), when to turn-key, go to Pier to board the ship. Usually, every day in room to swap two bath towels, convenient swimmers swim. There is also a restaurant waiter, from hospitality of humble smile to polite greetings, there are often encountered in the side of the island is that all employees full of sincere smiles and cordial love, the many nuances that make you feel, the island you worry about what this play, in addition, there is nothing to worry about.Our live aquatic housing is mounted in the sea, there are some rooms trestle bridge will up and connected to the sea from the rooms to the spacious balconies, ladder straight down to the sea, but at that time it was already late and really want to immediately rush to jump into the sea.
Room split air conditioner, ceiling fan, refrigerator, 24 hour hot water, IDD direct dial telephone, umbrella, clothes washing service, hair dryer, generation and its own password safe here, bathroom towels, SOAP, shampoo, shower gel are complete.
Double room large bed, foot 1.8 meters wide, is considered very Honeymoon tourists. Day room free supply a bottle of fresh water and tea bag, instant coffee, etc all residents to enjoy. Every evening, and my wife on a cup of black tea brews, lazy lying on the beach chairs on the balcony and listen to the soothing sound of the array, the day the beautiful scenery with the digital camera into the computer by one drop to appreciate life if this, what for?Water near a coral reef, fish a lot, but for the protection of the environment into consideration, the resort is surrounded by the prohibition of fishing, fishing had to take part in the specialized fishing, so here are not afraid of fish, this time specifically from Guangzhou brought a bag of white bread to feed the fish and their happiness.
In fact, you can daily breakfast at the restaurant to a bit of bread to feed the fish.The island we also observed the the standard room configuration, it is the second floor are separate, small floor, each with four rooms, all with balcony.
Room anterior Chamber are tropical plants after the cluster's path, but also from the Sea Beach 30 m, but the price is cheaper than water housing. The island of couple Netherlands couples is to live in a standard room, and then go to the water housing for two nights, then move to another Kurumba Village resort, this choice than we in the 5-night water housing (Water Bungalow) conversion.As we selected the dietary full (Full Board), three meals a day in the restaurant on the island.
In fact the island there are several restaurants, you can eat BBQ, Thailand cuisine, choice of many. Now it seems that at that time, select all packages may be an error because the afternoon dinner meals are Western food (except for one night is Asian themed buffets), my wife had cried to eat instant noodles.But here's a very good buffet breakfast, bread, potatoes, sausage, salads, fruit juice etc, tube enough, every day we eat the meal is the most comfortable.
After dinner, go to the bar, the point on a cocktail, listen in on the islands of the Philippines and the band's touring bass singing, look at the beach bar lights attract over from flying wing flapping Devil fish, looking up at the sky shining star, really think you have found a paradise.
And compared to the Maldives, we lived in Colombo Grand Oriental Hotel apart from the antique, is nothing special.
The room lights, bathroom stenosis and poor drainage, only a humming sound of LG window type air conditioner, all of which are lagging behind in China, and Sri Lanka at least 20 years of total position.Grand Oriental Hotel is United Kingdom settlers built in 1837, the famous Russian writer Hotel izvoscikov had lived here.
Bordering the harbour Grand Oriental Hotel is located in York Street and Queen Street adjacent to it is located at Sri Lanka's President of water villas, so for security reasons, and we stay in a hotel of adjacent blocks completely loaded ammunition soldiers with barbed wire, sandbags, roadblocks, embargo, and the hotel reception when health warned us photography should not be on the cordon, otherwise there will be big trouble.In addition to the Grand Oriental Hotel, close to the seaside city of Sri Lanka, where there are several modern high-rise buildings, these foreign hotel accommodation costs are not said to be too high.
Leaving the country so many days, finally is in Pro home the night before, in the Colombo family called JC's Chinese restaurant, enjoy a meal and Chinese cuisine, while serving in the format or adhering to the Western food finally buried on the dessert, but Chinese characteristics and decorating, full ears around the songs of Teresa Teng and taste good Kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork, or let our appetite.
Our prepaid fee already includes Colombo accommodation costs when connecting flights, but the Chinese food in Sri Lanka are also really high consumption, each dish approximately 600 Truffi (1 USD = 95 Truffi), the evening 4-course a bowl of egg soup with a dish of fried, at least 3000 Truffi, local one ordinary man's monthly wage is 1000 Truffi, evidently, Sri Lanka's artificial is really quite cheap, no wonder it's the second day at the airport, flight to Kuwait, U.A.E., Singapore Airlines, we see many apparently abroad for nurse dress in Sri Lanka girl.

May be due and domestic 3 hours time difference's sake, although long-haul travel make people feel tired, but we're still at 6 o'clock in the morning of the first anointed xiaguang when running across the sea to the balcony marvelling eyes of beautiful scenery.
Previously a friend of mine said in Maldives water, do you like swimming in the mirror, this is not true, but here's the sea that is like our tap water, this is me in any case it is difficult to imagine before.
Thanks to the breakwater of the cover, so glittering and translucent waters are very calm, and the unique terrain of coral island, from beach to extend up to 200 metres away are brief and knee or waist Repulse
And therefore very suitable for swimming.After breakfast I and his wife spent a morning time, finally fully mastered the use of masks and snorkel snorkeling skills, wearing shoes, wear gloves while snorkeling looks like line is casual, but very practical, but no beach shoes for the tops, my wife and I covered Blues scratches the tops.
When you're floating in the water, with currents of the impulses in the mirror-like translucent waters and colorful fish together walks, you seem to feel that they have become a fish.29 in the evening we have also had the evening fishing pre-registration (Sunset Fishing), but at 4 p.m. Reception told us poor people cannot start number, sea fishing, this is not the most regrettable.
Two days later, on 1 October night we also registered to the number of late to catch, but together the unfortunately that afternoon the wind blowing from the sea, the activity and cancel. There is no catch adult fish is the Maldives trip a little regret.In addition to the night fishing, 30 morning I and my wife, and two couples together go to Kuda Bandos snorkeling (22 USD/person), one of the Japan couples with their 1-year-old daughter of 9 months together, let me and my wife in extremely surprised, not a bit ashamed, mainly remembered we stay at home than Japan girl little one month's daughter, so I and my wife or the year after next year contract, then take my daughter to the Maldives.
Kuda Bandos is no small islands, the coral growth of the shore is very lush, rarely die white, snorkeling here, you can see many beautiful tropical fish, we band of two disposable underwater cameras are here to complete the mission.
Snorkeling, we are a small island go in a circle, made a tour around the island.In fact, in the Full Moon Beach Resort organizations around the island tours, half-day tour around the island is to the Kuda Bandos and another called Hura Island, in addition, it is also one day Pack a lunch for Island Hopping, including tours of the famous Paradise Island (Paradise Resort), Kurumba Village, Kuda Bandos, four islands, taking into account the late October 1 to attend night fishing, because two activities time conflicts did not join, but then the last two has fallen away, it can be considered a small regret.
But since ready to go for the second time, it does not matter.Island other water play item, like windsurfing, sailing, water bicycle, canoe, etc, because my wife does not want to go with Sun, so these projects a pleasure also did not participate.
Full Moon Beach Resort in the US, until 2 October morning, only two of us, the other to the Chinese people from Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom and other European countries for many of the guests, as well as of the long Asian faces is Japan.
To Maldives Tourism in Japan were quite a lot, we visit the Malé, encountered some guided tours will say some Japanese. As far as the island's people said that in the past few years China here, even if there is one more Taiwan.However, the Full Moon Beach Resort warm sweet to two world-honeymoon atmosphere on 2 October 2002, was this year's 11 a.m. in Guangdong Province China travel and travel holidays Maldives Charter flights organized by the break of 5 days.
This time, several hundred Chinese have come to Maldives Tourism, the Maldives country is a major event, listen to the island's tourism authority specifically said they held a coordination meeting to discuss the influx of a large quantity of simultaneously Chinese tourists across the reception capacity of each are surplus to our resort's Full Moon Beach Resort assigned to 80 Chinese tourists.According to the islands of China Team, they are the tourists of 1 October 23 Hong Kong local time before take-off point, Charter flights arriving Maldives has nearly 4 am, waiting for them to Full Moon Beach Resort, it's already-and straightforward.
The arrival of a large number of Chinese tourists and not make particularly noisy on the island, on the one hand, because even with the 80 Chinese tourists, the island's reception capacity nor to saturated; the second is the Chinese tourists landing the first day is divided into two groups go on afternoon tour of Malé, so we leave the last day of the Maldives and did not feel very noisy.
Of course the Chinese come at least to the island with a landscape, it is suddenly on the island called escape sunshine sunshades.The last afternoon we and others from Europe and fit together go to Malé sightseeing (China team is specialized packages ship).
Maldives Malé to 2 km wide 1 km long, in the pocket of the capital, has a mosque, Park, business centre, as well as the Government's Tomb, and the armed police force headquarters are very complete, and even a small small cricket, truly amazing.Male prices compared to the various resorts, is cheap, and if you have no prepared at home, where to buy some drinks, mineral water, snorkeling, swimming equipment, prices are also acceptable.
There is also the largest on the island of Malé, the mosque, towering towering, also deserves to go in for a look, of course, if you want to enter the mosque, you have to go through knee skirt or trousers.The island after two days of the journey, I and my wife in addition to spend half a day to male play, leisure time snorkeling and lying on the beach in the Sun, we are also specialized tour to far away from the Full Moon Beach Resort beach of uninhabited islands, see people outside the breakwater; also surfing to the breakwater district next to snorkeling, there are beautiful tropical fish.
Playing tired, lying on the beach in the shade and enjoy the sea breeze resting in the breeze, enjoy the fairy-like time.Return in Sri Lanka, a local travel agency W
Alkers Tour (941-306652; 941-439035) arranged a very chatty tour guide and a luxury sedan, the Blue Bird, accompany us in the city playing half a day. However, for this is at least 20 years behind us and just from the civil war of panic in the looked up in the country, I was more impressed, not temple Buddha Sakyamuni Simoni, but of course for street military bastions in dark muzzle. Although not heard the shot, but I still have a very strong urge to flee as quickly as possible.5. important note
The traditional sense of the language, time, currency, prompting others already done, it will not repeat here, below are some personal experience.
1. tips on preparatory
Leave our dear motherland to the Maldives, it is important to get a visa to a third country of departure, I this time is the Malaysia visa.
The Maldives is a 30-day visa, as long as you hold a valid passport has not expired, you can go through immigration in Maldives is valid during 30-day tourist visa, local customs staff very friendly, and even help me to fill in an immigration card.
Passing through Sri Lanka if just turn out the airport, visa.
If you want to stay out of the airport, or you can fill out the entry card at the Airport Customs Office for a 30-day visa.If travelling on an aircraft, special sililankahangkonggongsi is Beijing's friends may consider in Beijing Sri Lanka Embassy visa, air tickets, this eliminates a visa for third countries.
There is air in and out of Hong Kong, you can stay for seven days, regardless of the return or go to when you can play for a few days in Hong Kong.
2. travel tips
Go to the Maldives, there is a new route, airlines and shipping companies of flights available, price is the new navigation > airlines > Slovak airlines, spreads HK $ 800 Yuan, cheapest, shipping $ 3700.
Of course, fame and is proportional to the price.Singapore, Malaysia and a flight to sisan transit, aviation return more to stop a night in Colombo, Colombo accommodation and not expensive, twenty or thirty dollars or so already you can live to a good three star or four star hotel.
If on the day of departure, you can enjoy going to Hong Kong Airport Express line town check-in services, very convenient.
Slovak airlines this line uses the Airbus 330, 340, computer services and facilities were good, from Colombo who have male is Emirates aircraft, service is also very good.
The best in Colombo, 3 hours ahead of time to the airport, otherwise cumbersome security checks will let you feel the breath of time stress.
At Colombo airport of departure, the boarding pass, must be changed after the local currency Truffi, then go to line up to buy airport taxes, otherwise, they don't accept US dollars and the white race.
3. tips on board
I live in Full Moon Beach Resort, rooms provide a bottle of water per day (approximately 1 litre more) for your tea, coffee, drink, with room for heating glass boil.
But if going to the beach or out of Office, this water may not be enough.On the island of drinking water issues, there are several solutions
① I am from Guangzhou brought 4 bottle 1.5 l "garden space water" in the past, the price of Guangzhou is 1.6 RMB/bottle
② to Hong Kong to buy water, the price is slightly expensive too internally, but also a choice.
③ to Sri Lanka buy water when connecting flights are also cheaper than the Maldives, just do not know and had no time to buy.
④ the Maldives before buying, you can get there will participate in the "Male" s Ferry ", the male to buy back water, about 1 bottle $ 1.5.
⑤ Resorts big bottle of water around each statue 3.5 dollars, you can eat every meal to the waiter.
Buffet breakfast is very rich, very tasty, it is recommended that the housing is the best selection of Bed & Breakfast or Half Board, don't give up.
Lunch dinner is on the Western-style food, if not a cold afternoon dinner not package, the island has a different taste of restaurant for your selection.
Be sure not to let the local cocktails, Maldives ' s Lady taste be rated as a unique flavor, seaside and island bar not regularly tour of various Living Band.
Housing could have reservation, out of the airport after more than 20 counter agent to travel almost 80 resort hotel, specially designed by the people, and certainly cheaper than booking through travel agencies, some also can drive a hard bargain.
I met one of the guests at their own expense in Guangdong, the daily room rate McCain by 10 dollars.However, taking into account when booking a holiday far away from the airport, the farther away from the airport in General of the island, the effects of human development, but you might want to take a high speed boat or seaplane, this cost is also very impressive.
As previously mentioned the Guangdong guest, he lives Island take the speedboats to go 1.5 hours, cost is $ 160 per person. And live near the airport, holiday village is free shuttle. In fact the island landscape by human development effects far imagined so great are the same.If possible, you can try two or three island hopping, this island lived a couple of days, the island lives for a day or two, you can
Discover the charm of each resort different.Housing or standard room for one or two night stay, water housing one or two-night, variety of tastes experience again, and save money.
Wear appropriate shoes, it's best to go with a pair of slippers, because the room not worthy.
4. tips on playing
Snorkeling is the most fun project (relative to the average person will want to participate in the diving or diving course), but the best from domestic bought mask and snorkel, snorkeling gear (I bought in Guangzhou Yi Park, mask and snorkel together spent $ 168).
The island can also be rent snorkeling equipment, a few islands, most of the island complete free snorkeling equipment rental for one day to 10 dollars or so.
Snorkeling is preferably with gloves, otherwise easily to the shallow waters of the coral scratch hands.
I took the domestic common white line of gloves, very practical but is a bit ugly.Recommend wearing flippers snorkeling, because the tour seems very comfortable.
But if not used, you can also wear a special rubber bottom shoes, anyway not launching you wear shoes will be hard, because the sea coral a foot.Usually in the vicinity of the resort where you live, snorkeling, water housing snorkeling easier, but suggestions or participate in the holiday village organizations to other islands Snorkeling Tour (about US $ 22 per person), glimpse of other islands in the beautiful scenery.
Other attractions include sea fishing (Sunrise Sunset Fishing or Fishing), scuba diving and snorkeling (Diving ~ PADI certification/Snorkeling), take a glass-bottom boat to see fish (glass bottom boat rides), windsurfing and sailing (windsurfing & catamaran sailing), water bicycle and canoe, half-day/one-day tour around the island (Island Hopping) and Malé (Male ' s Ferry), where the activities are to be additionally paid.
Be sure to take this want to read books, bubble up sea lying on the beach chair on the Sun, is really a great pleasure in life.
To read the book if you do not want to take away, you can stay in the island of a dedicated public Bookshelf for latecomers. My time at Full Moon Beach Resort on the island the first Chinese books, a lot of Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan and other countries of the book it's a precedent.5. other tips
I live in Full Moon Beach Resort, the room has its own password safe, cash, cheque, jewellery and other valuables can be placed inside, very convenient.
Convert the best European and British plugs are taken on, but most of the resorts have had to borrow my time zone wrong, borrow one.
Underwater camera so it is best to take a photo, snorkeling at the bottom of tropical fish can be beautiful.
I bought the Watsons disposable underwater cameras the Kodak (underwater 4 m available) 99 Yuan, Hong Kong Watson's only 78 dollars, losses. Disposable underwater cameras on sale of $ 17, and the rent is $ 25 at a time.Sunscreen have to buy more than SPF 40, and sunscreen is important to note that Mr thick enough, enough, especially when wearing swimming clothes and skin at the edges, I first day because there is no note, a tour up swimming trunks, part sunscreen of skin exposed, sunburn.
Shopping in Sri Lanka, be sure to go to the Bank to exchange good local currency Truffi, because the vast majority of the stores don't accept US dollar, a few things from the dollar store is expensive.
Roadside especially tourist area there are many private changers, outside there are soliciting, a bit like our country at that time a lot of people engaged in buying and selling foreign exchange volume, I didn't dare to go there to change money.On a tip.
I started before the $ 50 to us $ 1 a little note, going to the Maldives to give tips, results have the following experience.① everyday on the bedside of a tip is not province (1 USD/day-room), check-in and go to Porter's tip is a good idea also to (1).
② participation in out-of-Office activities such as sea fishing tips, not too good to (sometimes ship crew too much), depending on their services and the environment.
③ when eating tips, if you are a restaurant service charge (typically 10%), you can not leave a tip, of course, find the waiter special satisfy you, or you can leave a tip (1 US $/person).
