SRI LANKA | This Is HOW THEY TREAT Each Other 🇱🇰

While exploring Sri Lanka for more than a month, I have noticed one thing - how peaceful are people. Considering there are 4 major religions on a small island people treat each other with respect and live in the same place and eat at the same table as in this video.

Tears fell down from my eyes at that moment .i think its because it brought me back to school days seriously. heart warming.i had many muslim friends at school eventhough I'm sinhala.we were all together without any difference. digging in to the home made rice packs in the interval ,feeding each other ,playing ,sharing life stories ,celebrating all the cultural days.i mean for ramazan we were treated by their delicious watalappan mmm.and vice versa they like our national foods like kavum kokis unduwal...what a nice time spent at school. If you bleed the same what is the difference among us guys❤❤❤srilanka is one nation which multicultural ethnic groups live in peace.

Loved the conversation at 7:49 (the peace between religions in Sri Lanka), and 12:10 (favourite country). Davud: What's your favourite country? Man: Sri Lanka People who have travelled outside of Sri Lanka know what an absolute gem Sri Lanka is. It's people who have never travelled outside Sri Lanka that think Sri Lanka is bad and other countries are perfect. At 12:30, when Davud mentioned that Saudi Arabia was rich, the man scoffed because he knows that money isn't everything in country (and I agree wholeheartedly). Thank you for showing people how amazing Sri Lanka and its people are, Davud

[@anuradhajayatilake5328]

Dear Davud, To calculate the final price you have to complete eating. That's why when you are going to pay they collect leftover. It's Sri Lankan tradition to bring more foods to the table. You can eat whatever amount. Finally they will calculate the price according to the amount that you have eaten.

[@vajpai6]

You greet and talk with the locals with so much kindness , and in return they too treat you well , if everyone could converse and be comfortable with the language they would have been more friendly and hospitable to you .

[@masterd9811]

Usually this type of restaurants serve you more items, and you can eat much as you want. But they will charge only for items you ate. They will take back the rest of the items. Yes, it feel bit unhygienic but that's how it's work here. Usually ppl don't eat from the served plate. they will put things on to their own plate and eat from it.

Brother David, I love your videos and your simplicity of your way of presentations. So humble and respect towards people of srilanka. Keep your good work. My salute..I would like to give you a small advice, please dont vaste food. Next time if you make any order, control your quantity. My humble advice is, if you are filled and the leftovers, please make a parcel and give as charity to a poor (beggar) who will be standing outside in the street. Try ones and see, your heart will be filled with joy..enjoy your holidays.. Please visit Adisham Bungalow in city of Haputale' and Neluwa Tea Estate..just ride through your scooter...before google

[@mehdhinawaz4381]

Thanks for spreading positivity. Normally when you order a meal and tea, tea is given last so that it wont be cold when u have it.

[@saifalishaikh10]

Davud you can simply eat & pause recording while completing your meal, then continue again while you are paying, so that you enjoy your meal properly & even the guys serving you doesn't feel bad or get confused whether you are eating or done with it! I hope you won't mind my advise ♥ from 🇮🇳

Your manners are pleasant Spicy food is common to Sri Lankans There is no food in Ceylon without spices The spicy taste is very appealing to Sri Lankans Adding salt and chilli to fruits is a Sri Lankan delicacy Medicine says that the spice cleanses the body

[@KD-zj4ye]

I am pleasantly surprised that the Muslim man spoke about Saudi Arabia (a Muslim country) in such a way when Davud mentioned that Saudi Arabia is rich. The man almost laughed when Davud mentioned money because money isn't the only thing that matters in a country. I know some Sri Lankan Muslims who support other Muslim countries over Sri Lanka with anything and everything, just because they follow the same religion (like supporting Pakistan when they play cricket against Sri Lanka; agreeing with the Pakistani mob that bur.nt a Sri Lankan man alive, etc etc). It always confused me how they could support other countries (that most have never even been to) over the country they were born in, was educated in, and live in. Of course, I am not saying that all Sri Lankan Muslims are like that, but this is from my own experience with Sri Lankan Muslims. This was so refreshing to see. He seems like a very nice man who loves his country - I wish everyone was like that man

Hi Davud, everyday I don't miss to watch your videos. I'm very jealous that you enjoy my country more than we do. Enjoy man. By the way, I noticed that you do "business" before you finish your food in restaurants. In SL, we usually pay cashier after we finish our food. So when you stand up from your seat to settle money, the waiter might think you are done with your food and he might clean up the table :)

[@cupidb2r666]

At regular shops you have to pay after having the food. Also, if you ask for a dish like paratha without mentioning the quantity, they will give you a few extra and you will have to pay only for the quantity of the food you eat.

Hello Davud, i've been watching your videos , very good & interesting, thanks for touring my country. In case of typical Sri Lankan breakfast, differs from community to community. Majority Sinhalese have roti, string hoppers, hoppers, pittu, milk rice (kiribath), some like to eat rice with Pol symbol,

[@kG-vj7tl]

Of course, thanks for noticing. People respect each other except very few. As these people said politicians are trying to break the bond between people for their benefits. But people are more smart and intelligent now. Typical breakfast are different according to the ethnicity but some similar dishes. I don’t think you can find typical breakfast from these small hotels. They all sell these foods. Most of these foods are snacks and some are Indian foods like parata. You can find typical breakfast food in breakfast buffets and in some modern restaurants.
