    Sri Lanka

    #Historic Sites, #Nature, #Beaches
    Shopping in Sri Lanka at various urban centers allows visitors a glimpse into the country's one-of-a-kind artistic traditions and craftsmanship. In Colombo, take your time to find traditional ola-leaf manuscripts and carved wood, stone, and ebony. Head down to the city of Ambalangoda to find unusual masks depicting demons used in ritual dances and exorcism ceremonies. For those seeking precious stones, Ratnapura offers the largest selection in the country. Beware those trying to sell cut glass--make sure the shop belongs to appropriate associations.
