SRI LANKA | Uninvited Foreigner In The Village 🇱🇰

On the way from Haputale to Nuwara Eliya with the scooter, I have seen farmers working hard in the fields of rice and vegetables. I could not resist, and stopped to check out their farms and also talk to them. As expected we had a language barrier but the overall experience was amazing with lots of smiles, curious questions and I also learned what they were doing in this season of the year.
Sharing the whole experience with you as an uninvited foreigner on the farms of Sri Lanka.

The language barrier has never been a problem during my travels. There is a best and universal language which everyone can speak - SMILE. I learned if you approach the strangers with a positive attitude and happy face they will react back the same and you will feel more welcome. The same happened in Sri Lanka on this video - even villagers who do not speak English were able to communicate and even make business. This sweet lady was offering me vegetables for free actually but I made sure to contribute to the business since they work very hard in the heat. Thank you for watching and adding your comments. Some people say I should use Google Translate - but this is part of the experience and this type of interaction that makes the memories happen. Davud

There is a pigeon island in Jaffna. . You can try scuba diving. No youtubers has covered that place. May be you should try that place and put some videos.

For first 2 vegetables she didn't expect any money and she gave it to you full of kind heart. And even for five vegies she would take anything you gave. It's nice to see you give more money and helping rural people in Sri Lanka. ❤️❤️

Dear daud What you are doing in Sri Lanka is very much appreciated. because in this critical financial crisis we need the tourist attractions to regain the tourism industry.I think you are encouraging the people around the world who watch your videos to visit Sri Lanka. Thanks for it brother.

[@pasindubro7683]

These days vegetables like gold 😂.. that lady is great ❤️

[@harshakumara970]

It's good that you gave her Rs. 400. A Radish Kg would cost around Rs 200-250 (check with a super market) and I think there was more than 1 Kg. Actually most of the village people knew English back in the days as they studied in English. But the change of language policy in Sri Lanka in 1956 ruined their opportunities.

[@bhavanikidnapillai292]

I'm really sorry for you that most people don't understand English. they are very nice people they would like to welcome foreigners.🇱🇰. One thing you can use google translation in their language ( only 2 languages in sri Lanka Tamil & Sinhala) in that apps you can use speak button and then make them listen to that. Then they will understand what you say. There are many options. Even when they talk to you can get translation in English. Try that Davud machan. Lots of love from Sri Lanka. 🇱🇰

Most people know English as they learn English from grade one, the problem is the lack of opportunities to speak in the villages so that is why it takes time for them to understand or reply as they have forgotten the language. Speak slowly and clearly and with actions. Your beard also scare them a Little

Where the area you produces rice call paddy field. after they harvest the paddy from the plants, they remove hard skin and then we call rice. FYI
