Hi, Dale, I like your videos, but you have a lot of catching up to do.

[@KalanaSW]

8:53 main reason why i love your videos no background music, no color grading just the way it is

Yeah I personally hate those travel vlogs that are 50% b-roll mixed with Creative Commons music.

[@ThilinaRajinda]

As a local Sri lankan I can't accept that they are charging as 5430Rs. from foreign travelers. There must be a fair ticket price. Our gov't should be consider regarding this issue. At least officials should be provide proper sanitation over the public toilets and other places.

[@Dale_Philip]

Yes, many travelers are missing out because they're choose to go to another place in Sri Lanka rather than pay that ticket price. Especially a family who are having to pay for their kids. It's a huge expense.

[@ThilinaRajinda]

@@@Dale_Philip Completely agreed.! It should be a fair.! You guys are our visitors and we must welcome you without expecting too much benefits from you.

[@Dale_Philip]

Any foreigner visiting will spend a decent amount of money in various ways during their stay. They will be contributing to the economy. No need charge too high for things like this to get them to spend money in Sri Lanka.

[@sahaniperera3]

So true, couldn't agree more. Sets a bad impression on us as well.

[@dilipjanaka9844]

Thilina Rajinda yes of course we know its a huge site to maintain also hundreds of maintanananse workers are working under this huge project...anyway its not a pretty good to charging nearly 5500/-rupees per the person from foriegners.nothig benefits,at least the management must provide them some snaks,welcome drink also bottle of water.this is the right way to make happy who was bringing income to our country development.very sad about the present system.this system must be change.

The big squirrel is type of squirrel. My friend used to have one of them as a pet. They do bite and scratch. Glad to see you enjoying in Sri Lanka . My husband welsh and I'm sri lankan. We are planning to go there next year hopefully.🤞

I would love to have one of those as pets. They look like a lot of fun (minus the biting and scratching).
