Finally Bringing My British Family to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
They Finally Made It to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 | Our British Family’s First Time in South Asia!
Ever since we first came to Sri Lanka over 3 years ago, we’ve dreamed of one day bringing our family to experience this magical island. From the rich culture and unforgettable food to the warmth and hospitality of the people — Sri Lanka truly is something special.
But nothing could prepare them for this moment…
This was not only their first time in Sri Lanka, but their very first time in South Asia — and the culture shock was real.
Watch their raw, unfiltered reactions as they take in the chaos, the beauty, and the magic of Ceylon 🇱🇰.

Please use uber or pickme
If you want to know more about History of Sri Lanka.
Tamil « from Sri Lanka » are from Tamil Eelam. They dont recognize Sri Lanka because the majority ethnic group in Sri Lanka (called Sinhalese) are racist against Tamil minority. They suffered racism, discrimination (they are less allowed to go in University, some jobs, use their language…) and slaughter during war by Sinhalese army.
Sinhalese want a « pure » nation where only Sinhalese buddhist have the right to live. So they attack especially tamil civilian, destroy hospitals and churches (christian, hindus and muslim were victim).
In order to erase the history of this minority they burned One of the most oldest asian library in Jaffna.
Tamil defend themselves since this and They defend equality between people and human rights
just download the pickme or uber
I was in SL a couple weeks ago. The cheapest and safest way is to book through the pick me app.
The reason they charge for entrance at the airport is because some passengers will bring their entire family if it was free and the arrival and departure areas will be packed 😭 Also easy revenue
You can use pick me or uber
You can rent your own tuktuk. Most convenient way to go where ever you go. But you all may need 2 tuktuks ..
While in sri lanka …dont forget to try tropical fruit juices like woodapple juice with scoop of vanilla ice cream… And Soursop drink… Avocado smoothie or drink… And Faluda with a scoop of ice cream too…
MR. Please us Uber or Pick Me Taxi apps
They charge to get in because some families bring bus full of friends and family!!
you can take pick me,uber very cheep
Have a safe and happy stay in Sri Lanka. ✨♥️🙏🇱🇰
Use Uber or PickMe ,It's much cheaper that local tuktuks
Enjoy🇱🇰💞💞🧡🧡💚💚🇲🇫
07:16 I recommend you to use Uber or Pick me. because many tuk tuk drivers ask more money fromo foreigners. (sorry for bad English btw)
That is absolutely crazy to see they charge to go pick someone up from the airport. the only country in the world who does this I guess??
13:30 That's not masala tea, That is Nescafe man😂
13:30 You get the nescafe without sugar ,thats' why you get salty taste😅
This is for Srilanka Authorities . What the hell these guys doing at the airport. Trying to rip foreghiners. Shame on the authorities. When somebody come to our treat them right. Dont you know these people bringing money here to help the govt. Authorities should take immediate action.
What do you mean by culture shock when did you leave England as it's like Africa Bangladesh Pakistan India Sri Lanka China Turkey and etc etc nowadays.
Better use pickme and get a car. So no need 3 wheel. Its so cheap
Pick me car will cost half of 2 three wheel prices
you can use pickme and uber for cheaper tuk tuk price
Nice video… just to say this… you have no idea what would happen if they didn't charge rs.500/- per person to get inside the airport… Imagine how it would be when you come solo from abroad, and your mother, father, two sisters and brother, plus, your mum's sister, her husband, and their 3 kids, plus, your father's two sisters, and their husbands, and their 5 kids, plus, your cousins, nephews and nieces, plus, the next door neighbour and the family… etc., etc., etc., want to pick you up from the Airport… 😃 it's funny to you… but, it is security for us… lol… 🤣🤣🤣
Wow❤
Welcome to Sri Lanka enjoy your holiday
Use Pickme please!
There is an app called pick me. please install it.
Also Uber work here as well
❤❤❤
my culture shock, just coming back from Lanka doing an on foot Pilgrimage to Kataragama. 5 dAYS! And the hot spots in Colombo, will make you not even look at this lady COMPARED to the LANKAN women who do not even need to leave the country! AAA. 3/10 for western standard vs 200/10 for Lanka Standard.
