Riding the Cultural Rails in Sri Lanka
Blog: Ottsworld - 5 May 2011
I remember being in the locomotive peering out over the tracks from my high vantage point. My hand was on the lever and the train was moving slowly forward.

Kandy and A Sweet Tooth
Blog: Ottsworld - 26 April 2011
Recently I was riding in the car with my sister and my niece when my niece announced out of the blue how much she loved going to the dentist. My sister shot me a mean glance as if this confession were somehow my fault. After all, when I was a kid I used to [...]

Sri Lankan Kandy
Blog: Around The World On The Toilet - 20 January 2010
by Lianna Nick had good reason to be lazy after he returned from Adam’s Peak, so we decided to shell out the cash for a taxi ride to Kandy and avoid the routine of standing on an overcrowded bus getting a headache. When we arrived at our wonderful guest house, Mcleod Inn, we went for a walk and ended up spotting tons of wildlife in the second largest city in the country. Kandy is situated around a man made lake where we spotted 5 monitor lizards which are the worlds second ...
