Sri Lanka

Colombo

: “HIS EXCELLENCY MAHINDA RAJAPAKSA – President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka” The portrait of this smilin’ ass mustache motherfucker was the first thing I saw when steppin’ off the plane.

: Here’s a picture of your standard looking duty free shop at Bandaranaike International Airport. Right next to this they had…

: …duty free appliances for sale which is something that I’d never seen before. Think I could fit a few of those fridges in my backpack?

: Sri Lankan Rupees. 1USD = approx. 130LKR

: The weekly abandoned banking district of Colombo as seen on a Sunday afternoon

: A striped-ass zebra-lookin’ building from the same area on the same day

: Cricket is the most popular sport in Sri Lanka. Dudes of all ages can be found playing cricket pretty much anywhere there’s enough space to throw a ball and swing a bat. Pictured here are some dudes in their 20s throwin’ down some street ball Hey Arnold! style.

: The twin towers of the World Trade Centre Colombo at sunset

: …and, yes, unbelievably that is a giant statue of a hand grasping a rotary dial phone on the right side of the picture previous.

Mt. Lavinia

: The short walk to the Indian Ocean from Colombo Beach Hostel…

: …that leads across these railroad tracks…

: …and gives way to this magnificence. We were so close to the beach that if the 2004 tsunami were to repeat itself…

: …I’d have been more dead than the fish this washed-up head used to belong to.

: My first morning in Mt. Lavinia, I was chillin’ here when…

: …the dude on the right came up, introduced himself to me and invited me into his beachside shack of a home. On the left is a strange style of calendar I’d never seen before with the days of the week in a column on the left side.

: Inside view of the crib. The shelf on the top left has both a picture of Buddha and Jesus – both of whom are part of the Super Best Friends crime fighting league.

: Outside, I caught that dude’s dad in the middle of a shave. Those are neighbors’ home pictured in the background.

: And, meanwhile, it was laundry day for his mom.

: As I’d soon find out, this dude only invited me into his house to sell me weed at white dude prices. Part of his sales pitch was climbing a tree to pick me a fresh coconut.

: Close-up of my man gettin’ his barefoot climb on.

: Twistin’ off a fresh one…

: …and beginning the long climb down with the coconut clamped between his teeth.

: Still goin’…

: …and the home stretch. Although it wasn’t a bad coconut, I still ended up not getting any weed from this guy.

: Bunch of Sri Lankan bros workin’ together to pull in a massive fishing net

: Different view of these guys reelin’ in their catch…

: …and a local man selling ’em straight out the ocean from his push cart.

: Also, some dudes at the market doing a little filleting before they pass their product on to the public

: Sri Lankan tuk-tuk. Not nearly as cheap as the ludicrously inexpensive buses but the faster and less cramped way to get around the island.

: Strange lookin’ local tree I felt compelled to capture on camera

: Typical example of a Mt. Lavinia home defense system

: Beggar boy

: A colorful lorry speeding down Mt. Lavinia’s main road

: A few peeps by whom I got caught trying to take a photo of by the banana stand.

: The same threesome with a little more zoom applied

: Who wants their hair did like Leo? So many salo(o)ns and barber shops in Asia have random-ass pictures of Western celebrities on their storefront signs.

: Local lady

: “SHIT: Super Hero In Training”

: A banner that reads “JESUS CHRIST IS COMING AGAIN VERY SOON”…

: …and a nun I spotted nearby. About 7% of the population in Sri Lanka is Christian.

: Sri Lankan cop leanin’ on a lamppost, doin’ his best street-walking hooker impression

: I’d love to go for a ride on that clit-tickler

: Shoe repairman hangin’ out on the corner waiting for business. Sri Lankan Hugh Laurie?

: Hottt XXX pistil on stamen action

: Beachside tsunami wreckage left over from 2004

: A fisherman cleaning out his boat along the shore

: Downtown Colombo as seen from Mt. Lavinia

: So, after hanging out on the beach for a bit, I decided to walk along the railroad tracks to observe natural Sri Lankan life. The following photos are from this little quest, but keep in mind the gay dude pictured here was following me the whole time trying to make me let him suck my dick.

: Big momma and her girls gettin’ down on some lunch

: A roofless, tsunami-torn shack that appears to continue being used as a home

: More colorfully dressed local ladies sheltering themselves from the sun

: Old broad takin’ a load off in the hot afternoon heat

: Grandmama

: Alright, so after all that wandering around I ended up in some family’s backyard and this is where the gay guy finally accepted he wasn’t gonna get to taste my man-mean and left. Here’s the neighbor of the family spying on me from the adjacent yard.

: Me teaching a few of the family members how to throw down a motherfuckin’ SUCK IT

: Kidses

: New mama. The only person I didn’t photograph here was the drunk-ass head of the family who, over a cup of tea, offered me sex from “woman, man – anything you like, I get for you.”

: Doin’ her best Shrek impression

: Lil’ guy with rice & curry remnants stuck to his chin

Kandy

: Bunch o’ Kandy asses

: Monster Buddha on top of a hill – one of the first things I saw after getting into town

: We had trouble finding a hostel or hotel with reasonable prices and had been getting screwed around by some tuk-tuk jerk-off when an Austrian couple with two young kids invited us to stay with them for free at their hilltop cottage here.

: Elephant tapestry

: The next morning when leaving the Austrian’s cottage, I noticed our tuk-tuk driver back to the city was rollin’ with a bottle of hard liquor on tap. Soon enough, I’d find out that this is a very common thing in Sri Lanka. Who knows, maybe it’s for good luck and not for consumption.

: “Mister Potato Crisps” – a hilarious Pringles knock-off

: “India’s Magic Masala” – one of the many Asian potato chip flavors I’ve never heard of

: Local artisan constructing metallic handicrafts

: Some finished products

: Then he made one of these with just a chisel and a hammer which the man offered to personalize with anything I wanted carved into the elephant’s side. Although I was tempted to have him write “boner juice,” I ultimately resisted.

: Wood-carving woman doing her thing at the same shop

: Some of her work

: Proud woman showing off her masterpiece

: More elephant shit

: Rapist mask

: “Here’s a quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face!”

: Although this graffiti is not at all impressive, I decided to include it because of someone’s decision to scribble the word “piss” on this wall. Why “piss?” I can’t say, but it’s not quite as weird as the time I saw “OPRAH” sprayed on a wall in Uzbekistan.

: Local dude showing us some of the art in his shop

: More shit from his shop…

: Tig ‘ol bitties

: Assquake

: I think this is a representation of a festival called Esala Perahera. My ignorant American ass could be mistaken though.

: Kandy kids…

: …and their mama

: Nice colorful little Hindu storefront

: Another hill shot

: Same

: Pulling into the station…

: …there.

: View of the town from a hostel in the hills

: So, the plantation manager told us to follow him back to his house for some lunch made by his wife. Here he is leading the way.

: On the long-ass walk to his house, we passed through more beautifully green rolling hills and tea fields.

: Not gonna lie, I was super tempted to shove this cow down the side of that hill.

: Tea workers we encountered along the way…

: .

: Almost looks like this one’s flippin’ me off.

: Plantation manager’s living room where my friend Yun and I awaited our lunch. I was under the impression that we were all gonna eat together but they only ended up serving us and watching us eat which was pretty awkward.

: Then, once we finished, my man hurriedly ushered us out and said, “If you wouldn’t mind leaving now, I’d like to have my lunch.” Still don’t know why they didn’t just eat with us. Woulda made much more sense in my mind.
