This area has a vast territory with many villages. All accessible via bus, car (4x4 preferred) or motorcycle (Moto-cross prefered). Since this part of SL is very hilly a lot of walking is required. Walking amidst lush tea estates, waterfalls, giant trees reminds one of the beauty bestowed upon the earth by the Creator. It is very easy to engage people in conversation. They often utter expressions such as:
- "come in sit"
- " tell your message"
- " will you drink tea?"
- " come back ANYTIME"
- " wait, my relatives (usually next door) are coming to hear"
- " thank you " for visiting
How different, from many who are often just too busy, abrupt,
unkind, unappreciative. You can talk to people regardless of what they are doing, washing clothes, dishes, painting their house, try doing that back home.
