Hey! Have you seen the other videos in this series? kzbin.info/aero/PLNITEhd54UEZkvX5oh0nIGSMJ2YXmADm2&si=Ug0SLLjCVu7iJAQD

[@jackys8128]

Usually in Sri Lanka the family eats later after the guests finish eating . We have a English speaking community as well in here and they are called burghers. Nice vlog by the way. Enjoy your stay here in our beautiful land.

[@SteveYalo]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!!

[@angelwings5136]

Jacky....Your Right....I Am A Burgher...I Don't Live In Sri Lanka...And Most Tourists Just Think That It's Only Sinhalese And Tamils....I Would Love To See Some Tourists Visit A Few Burgher Families Too ...And Even Visit The Dutch Burgher Union....

[@truebelief3631]

Is it? I grew up in Colombo & whenever my family entertained guests, we all ate together. I suspect this is more of a class issue. As for the Sri Lankan Burghers are there any even left on the island ? More chance of seeing one in the suburbs of Melbourne.

[@angelwings5136]

​@@truebelief3631...A Few Burgher Families Are Still in Sri Lanka....It's Not Only Living In Australia...Most Burghers Are Living All Around Europe.....But Ceylon Will Always Remain As Our Home..... Sri Lanka Is a Multicultural Country ..With The Burghers .Malays .. Boras.. Sinhalese. Tamils..Muslims. And Others..... Different Cultures And Traditions Which Are Unique ...Burghers That Once Made Ceylon Beautiful....

[@parangibro]

I am personally happy that someone like you has come to Sri Lanka. And I also thank the people of Sri Lanka who were treated from food for you. God bless!

Currently Travelling Sri lanka and uploading daily videos check it out❤

[@UD-95]

We sri lankans don't eat till our guests finish eating. I would be very supriced if they eat with you. But when you meet higher middle class community they will eat with you. They are kind of following western culture.. anyways good work steve ❤

[@SteveYalo]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@thealiexpress60secs]

In Sri Lanka, it is customary for people to eat after entertaining loved ones when they visit their home, as a sign of respect for those who have visited the home.

[@SteveYalo]

Sri Lanka hospitality is amazing!

[@oskarumesh2394]

Wow, you are so lucky to have a good time with a local family like this . This is Srilankan hospitality. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SteveYalo]

Yes we are. The Sri Lankan hospitality is so special!

[@nisanka]

The literal meaning of the word "Ela kiri" is Cow Milk. But we use it here in Sri Lanka as slang word to say something Great, So Good, or Superb.

[@SteveYalo]

Interesting! hahah we've been saying cow milk all over the country hahah

[@destinationheynsland2015]
