Chasing the Cricket Team

I'm not really into cricket but I told the boys at the school that while i'm here renewing my visa I would try and get to see India vs Sri Lanka.

Here, by the way is Sri Lanka. It's a nice little island to get lost on. I put the visa form in and they told me to come back in a week. So I can do whatever I want now. I'm in some place called Galle.
"Galle? Never heard of it." (Man on train)
"Dunno, I think it's the last stop on this train. Excuse me, how long until Galle?"
"Galle?? This is Galle!!" (Sri Lankan man on train)
"Let's go then!"

So when I got there it was mid afternoon so the cricket had probably finished. I'm hoping the next match is here as well, or i'll be hopping on another train to catch it.

Must go though because I haven't found a hotel yet, and I just realised I haven't eaten all day becaue I couldn't convince any of the lovely food vendors to give me a real price on food, how nice of them.

p.s. I had an argument with a shopkeeper over 7 rupees today because he tried to charge me for putting the bottle in the fridge.

sounds as if you're safe and sound in Sri Lanka, which is good news!
