I'm In Colombo

I arrived in Colombo, Sri Lanka yesterday morning... when the hotel reception hand me a Security Directive circular... as there has been bombing in some areas in the city as we all know due to the so called freedom fighters the The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. When I opened the curtain to have a peek at the scenery this is what I found. Hum.. I guess we don't really see this often in a 5 star hotel.
Check points like this are something you'll never miss on your trip to Colombo... it is placed almost every 500 meters apart along the main roads in the city especially near hotels and government buildings.. too many of these you might not even notice the beautiful view of the seashores and historical buildings around.
Once I've gone out to town with a few friends to a place called 'Fashion House'.. a place so called selling clothings and textiles at a very good bargain compared to back home... I see it as a huge reject shop though. Did bought some things for my son there... and when we were there, I over heard news of another bomb attack near town. Is it worth risking your life for some cheap clothes?? I didn't join them the next day.
Be going back home to night...
