Today I went to the school where I will work. I will start
there properly on Monday. It is quite a big school, with 53 teachers. I will
try to get photos some time soon.
After that, I went for a walk in the town: it is very busy
with cars, lorries and motorbikes everywhere. There are also hundreds of
“tuk-tuks”. These are 3 wheeled taxis with a motorbike engine and handle bars
instead of a steering wheel. They have a soft roof and can seat two passengers
or maybe three with a squeeze. The drivers keep blowing their horn and overtake
in some dangerous places!
In some parts of Sri Lanka, fishermen sit on a pole stuck
into the sea-bed and fish from there. I don’t think the ones in this picture
are used now though. They are maybe just there for visitors like me to take
photos! See the tuk-tuks in the bottom picture: can you spot the coconuts?
