Honest First Impressions of Colombo, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Video Description

In this video, I explore Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, and share my first impressions of the city. I start by taking a local bus into the city, a bit hot, but cheap and efficient, and head straight to Pettah Market, one of the busiest and most iconic markets in the country. I wander through the market, grab a quick coffee and a samosa, and pick up a king coconut, a popular local refreshment. Along the way, I search for a suction cup camera mount and stop at the striking Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque, known for its red and white architecture. To end the day, I make my way to Galle Face Green to catch the sunset, try some ice cream, and take a quick ride at the seaside fairground. This is a laid-back, honest look at Colombo from a first-time visitor's perspective with no filters and no frills. 🇱🇰 WATCH NEXT FROM SRI LANKA: TRAIN JOURNEY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXxby9RJnqE&list=PLSwYly8459JZdNDFDBY4U5zq0YAXg1ZcI THE FORGOTTEN NORTH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLiFrqqr8FE&list=PLSwYly8459JZdNDFDBY4U5zq0YAXg1ZcI INDIA TO SRI LANKA BOAT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfVAbSCxTz8&list=PLSwYly8459JZdNDFDBY4U5zq0YAXg1ZcI&index=2 🍿 OTHER COUNTRIES: $1 EAR CLEANING: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsqNCMxoFh4&list=PLSwYly8459JZjbXYfOqllnRb6gIqY4_Xq INDIA'S WORST RATED AIRLINE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n34i00J-cDM&list=PLSwYly8459JZjbXYfOqllnRb6gIqY4_Xq&index=3&t=957s BANGALORE BREAKFAST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZeLng-5z-o&list=PLSwYly8459JZjbXYfOqllnRb6gIqY4_Xq&index=6&t=1099s IPL CRICKET: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-4bNFXw0rg&list=PLSwYly8459JZjbXYfOqllnRb6gIqY4_Xq KOREAN BASEBALL: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=y6ibnjPKxFQ&list=PLSwYly8459JZZ3Ha3FAs2RUBtMzkyUVU3 TAIWAN BEEF NOODLES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjI09bVikBk&list=PLSwYly8459JZCttbfX7SWhr2s3lA5bV0U MY OTHER SOCIALS: 📱 TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@hughabroad 📸 INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/hugh.abroad/ 🎥 2ND YT CHANNEL - https://www.youtube.com/@UCF9YTReKx7OGNfsxeCNNjUw 👕 MERCH - https://hughabroadstore.com #srilanka #colombo
