Kalpitiya (Video)

Kalpitiya Is The Shit.

Went to Kalpitiya with the family. It’s pretty much the furthest north-west you can go before the map reads HERE BE TIGERS. Kalpitiya is nice because it’s situated on a thin spit of land jutting into the Indian Ocean – sea on one side, lagoon on the other. There are whales and dolphins swimming about and word is that you can go kitesurfing there. It’s a nice place to hang out and whatever, and it’s now Hikkaduwa or Unawatuna. It also has very little in the way of facilities but I suspect it will develop with some speed soon.

These are just preliminary things I managed to upload. Each photo I take converts to a Digital Negative of about 30MB (then back down to a 3-4MB JPEG) and the videos are hundreds of MB, so getting this stuff up now takes days of processing. I apologize for the backtalk and cut outs to my foot but I’m not editing these at all.

Above is a pair of dung beetles rolling some poop home for dinner.

Some cute dogs on the beach. Very friendly.

N: You have to eat a whole load of beans…the n you can be gassy like Omr.

the way of the dodo: nonsense, 100g of spinach has 2.2g of protien 100g of beans will give you 10gs of protien. you need 70gs a day. fish or chicken generally has around 35g of protein per 100g. http://en.wikip edia.org/wiki/S pinach#Nutritio n...

Omr: Nope. Beans and/or spinach give you more than enough. You are just desperate to find an excuse to eat meat because you like the taste and it is an established tradition. No problem, continue on eating meat, just admit you are an absolute...

Firaz: Not all of them run with the dispatch guys. Most now run independently because they just get more hires off the road. People are more inclined to jump in a meter taxi these days. That’s what I hear.
