Sri Lanka is a good travel destination in budget ❤️
I visited Sigiriya Rock, Dambulla Caves, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella, Mirissa, Unawatuna, Galle and Colombo, thereby covering all 3 - cities, mountains and beaches of the country.
Skipped Jafna, Northern Sri Lanka and Trincomalee, maybe next time. 🤷♀️

The Avinya Foundation @avinya_f is pleased to announce our new program: A 11-month "Work Study Scholarship" where the students will get 3 certifications at the end (TVEC Level 3 Customer Service, City & Guilds Level 3 (equal to AL) Front Office Services and Avinya Empower Program) and will get paid while doing the program: Rs. 10,000/month for the first 5 months (full time at Avinya) and Rs. 15,000/month for the second 6 months (3 days at Avinya, 2 days practical experience).
Our goal is to give the student a solid foundation in English, IT, 21st century skills and customer orientation so that they can build on that to either work or build a profession in any vocational or intellectual area.
And the best part is the student doesn't pay anything but instead gets paid to study.
Please share with 19-25 year olds who feel they missed the boat but are ready to take up the challenge of a second chance to become a professional!
Program starts in September - apply now!
Global Phase-outs of Gasoline Cars 🚗
⭕ As of 2024, 60 countries and territories around the world have set targets, signed pledges, or announced plans to phase out gasoline and diesel cars by a specific date.
"Asian nation Sri Lanka has been setting the toughest goals of any country, issuing not just a phase-out of new gasoline car sales, but a full road ban for combustion engine cars, tuk-tuks, and motorcycles by 2040." - https://t.co/5j9IObUHfL
⭕ This was set in 2017, during the era of Finance Minister Mangala Samaraweera.
In the same announcement, Sri Lanka pledged to:
- Phase out the government's fleet of diesel and petrol vehicles, including buses, by 2025, switching to electric or hybrid models.
⭕ We are 5 months away from 2025, and the EVs in the government vehicle fleet are almost non-existent.
This is a super thread on how Sri Lanka’s public university admission system works.
If you’re going to complain about it first understand how it works and then do what the last tweet in this thread suggests: come up with a better way. Otherwise ..
