What’s new // Do it now // Food // On the trail // Rooms // Family // Stay at home // The word
I was travelling in Sri Lanka, tracing the circular route that starts and ends in the capital, Colombo. On Unawatuna Beach, famed for its palm trees and coral reefs, I met Sandun. He’s a local who works at a shop on the beach selling roti, a kind of local flatbread. We talked about his life; his love of football and basketball; and the Honda scooter that he rides around town with pride. But what struck me most was how he described the changing face of his hometown — tourism and building work have completely transformed the landscape he grew up; with recent initiatives for the better.
