You record some of the unique things from Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰

[@ayngelina]

I didn’t plan this but wow this was so unique for me

[@lsabdc330]

This public library in Jaffna was set ablaze in 1981, it had 95000 invaluable rare books and publications. This horrendous deed was executed by the hooligans of the UNP (United National Party) who were sent to win the development council elections and the police officers who were deployed for special duties. Four ministers (including Minister of Youth Affairs Ranil Wickramasinghe, the former de facto president ) were sent to Jaffna by the then president J. R. Jayawardene (Ranil Wickramasinge's late uncle) to win the elections by hook or crook. Welcome to New Sri Lanka!

[@ayngelina]

Oh I didn’t know the last bit, that certainly makes the election results more interesting.

[@lsabdc330]

@@ayngelina Yes, it does, and indeed, that has brought an end to de facto RW's five decades of dirty and useless political era. He's pretty much done and dusted, so to speak. More importantly, Sri Lanka has been reborn with the election results on 22nd September 2024!

[@ayngelina]

It was an exciting time to be in the country

[@lizcarlyle2477]

Selemat Pagi, Thanks 4 the stunning Hindu architecture, vibrant colors, rich patterns, religious body rituals & food tour of Sir Lanka, what an amazing experience!

[@ayngelina]

It wasn’t what I expected but I will never forget it!

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

Wow, that was an amazing video. I can't even imagine the courage and strength to perform that ceremony with the hooks. Thanks for sharing that experience and showing the customs of people from Sri Lanka.

[@ayngelina]

I need to go back though because Jaffna is famous for having the best food including a crab dish, which was the reason I took a ten hour bus there. I actually had no idea that it was the most important time of the year.

[@eshikaudayanawanigasekara]

Nice 😊 Jaffna not to Skip 😊

[@ayngelina]

Agreed!

Congrats, you're a real traveler now ;)

Hahaha after 14 years of traveling and living around the world I think I’d already achieved that title but this was definitely something new to see.

[@juliebabin]

This video is so colourful !!

[@ayngelina]

Sri Lanka and India definitely have color in common. I loved how things were so bright.

pure lovely jaffna ❤❤.

[@ayngelina]

It’s really wonderful, what a day!

[@ibolyakovari922]

Huuu, Ayngelina, megint érdekes videót készítettél! Az a felszúrás 😢 borzalmas hagyomány, sajnálom a fiatal embert😢 , nekem nagyon furcsa, és rémisztő is. Téged üdvözöllek😊❤😊

[@eshikaudayanawanigasekara]

They gave the pray to god

[@ayngelina]

Nehéz megérteni, bár hasonló hagyományokat lát néhány katolikusnál és kereszténynél, és Alan szerint néhány muszlimnál.

[@swallowsflylow]

Jaffna is mesmerising🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰💯💯💯💐

[@ayngelina]

It really is

[@qatararavinth1874]

That’s our Tamil god muruga, he loves Kavadi ❤

[@ayngelina]

Well he had lots that day!

[@qatararavinth1874]

@@ayngelina yes more than 200 arrives from all over the jaffna.. It is a form of supplication and connection between us and lord muruga.

[@ayngelina]

I was told it was to ask for something, but then read it was for penance. Is that true?

[@rfbrandproton4146]

we all should subscribe to this kind of Chanel's. Thank you Ayngelina for doing this this means a lot to our tourism industry in Sri lanka Thanks hope you will visit us again

i just pressed the fast forward button >>> tricomalee and east coast

[@ayngelina]

Have you been?

[@calvinc6121]

@@ayngelina no, i have only been to the west coast - negombo, beruwala and galle (those places ravaged by the 2004 tsumami)

[@ayngelina]

I was going to go to Negombo originally but the reviews were so bad we went directly to Jaffna

[@sjsramanan]

That’s 2 months old video 😅

[@tamilangaming7844]

thank you very much we Tamils ​​identify ourselves as being from Tamil Eelam (North and East) because the Sri Lankan government is committing genocide. We have suffered a lot for decades.

[@ayngelina]

In the last video I recommend a book called the Seasons of Trouble by Rohini Mohamed and it affected me so much I decided to visit the North and East.

[@tamilangaming7844]

@@ayngelina oh interesting. I'll take a look at it 😉

[@tamilangaming7844]

If you live in Canada there are many Eelam Tamils. So in Canada you can also see culturals events organised by Eelam Tamils. You can also see each november 27th maaveerar naal commmoration ( the date when eelam tamils pray tribute to their fallen fighters ).

[@ayngelina]

Is this in GTA?

[@tamilangaming7844]

@@ayngelina yes in Toronto i guess

[@bavanitharmarajah9666]

Please visit Reecha organic farm, you will love the food, it is place call iyakachchi in Killinochi district

[@ayngelina]

I wish I had known about this earlier 😭

[@Śiśna3633]

You have sanitized the primitive Jaffna culture. Please show the Kavunawathai velvi as well where 5000 goats are chopped.

[@sskk1617]

Are you suggesting that chopping goats is primitive while killing livestock in abattoirs, the source of meat in the West and other parts of the world is civilized?

[@ayngelina]

I don’t have any motive other than to share what I see when I travel and this is what happened when I thought I was going on a food tour but it ended up being a very different kind of tour.

[@rohanrohan2688]

@@ayngelina Don't worry lots of Sinhalese racists and hardliners trolling here and running down Tamils Hinduism and misinforming. They always do it. Constantly making derogatory remarks about Tamil people

[@sujeevadealwis5513]

@@rohanrohan2688How do you expect us to react when you constantly lie about things being the victim always. Why don’t you talk about the fact that it was the Tamils who started it all with killing soldiers? Manipulative, as usual and opportunist, harboring on the fact that people would sympathies with the minority. We don’t respect deception, and that’s what y’all do. Give a century or two and the same thing will happen to Malaysia and Singapore too.
