Colombo, Sri Lanka 3rd November 2007
Did our own thing today. Much security in the city due to the fact that the second in command of the Tamil Tigers in the north was shot early this morning. We were security checked every where we went and were not allowed to photograph the clock tower, the world trade centre or any other politically sensitive areas. We tried to post a blog but had a problem with it appearing in Korean so aborted. We then hired a taxi for the rest of the day and managed to see all the sights of Colombo including the Buddhist Temple, the Hindu Temple, the Dutch Reformed Church, National Independence Monument etc.
