The Top Ten
1 Sri Lanka Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known from the beginning of British colonial rule until 1972 as Ceylon, is an island country in South Asia near south-east India.

One of a best country in the world, not only in SA. Very well naturally gifted country. Very friendly people with nice smile. Even if it is a small Island, full of natural resources such as minerals, gems, pure water, rain forests, wild life, beautiful mountains, waterfalls, nice sandy beaches, what ever you want. Very nice natural fruits, vegetables, delicious spicy cooking style, wow...
It's a paradise in a Indian Ocean.

Much cleaner compared to other countries in South Asia. Visited the country just after the civil war and a year ago, really impressed by the progress the country has made. Good road network except in the capital Colombo where you could get stuck in traffic for hours. Almost missed our flight if not for the airport highway. Very humble and welcoming people. Food is bit spicy in my perspective. Highly recommend to try the beautiful waves in Arugambay if you are into surfing. It's a warm country so pack your summer clothes up. Nature in highlands is very soothing. Don't rent vehicles if you are going to highlands instead take the train which is 6 amazing hours. I know it is pretty long but that is one of the best things I did in Sri lanka in both times I visited the country. Take mosquito repellent.. lot of mosquitoes out there!

Buddhism is the major religion in Sri Lanka and we also know it was originated in Nepal and India. But Lord Buddha who is the leader of Buddhism says that Buddhism will only be saved by Sri Lanka in like 2,500 years. So Sri Lanka is the most beautiful and country with a lot of culture. It's THE BEST

Generous People, Best Culture, Great History, Dhamma-Island. It is said that any beautiful lady could travel all over the country alone by foot without facing any trouble in ancient Sri Lanka. After this great culture had declined, their responsibility is to redevelop the culture again. The miracle of the world.
