If you want to be in Sri Lanka for more than 30 days you have to extend your tourist visa. So that’s what I did at the department of immigration and emigration in Colombo. I went by bike, which is motor bike, so after I was done at the visa office it was time to explore the city!
First I checked out House of Fashions. It has been moved to another location since the last time I visited the shop which was wayyyy back in 2003? I’m not really sure, maybe even longer ago. So it was no surprise to me that it has changed a lot. It has a more expensive look now with different sections such as perfume, fashion and lifestyle goods…kinda like de Bijenkorf in the Netherlands.
Next was some nice place just outside the city I think, called Diyath Uyana. On our way there we passed all the fast food restaurants…and we just had lunch…But it was lovely with great scenery and a lot of animals. We even found Nemo, Dory and more of the cast of ‘Finding Nemo’.
Another shopping mall where I haven’t been for a long time was Majestic City. Now that I’m in Colombo I have to go there I thought. But I got a little disappointed. It wasn’t like I remembered it. The shops are also more expensive now and many electronics can be found there. Not really my cup of tea anymore 😉 I loved the air condition by the way!
It was a great day, hot and busy but very nice! I love crossing around!
