Stories of a Bus Traveller

I often commute here in Sri Lanka by bus, no matter where it is, I find myself going to the required destination by bus.  In Sri Lanka, you don't get fancy machines where you can purchase a ticket nor do we get till boxes in the front of the bus where we have to insert money for the journey. Oh no! What we have is perhaps a bit more primitive than that, we have a conductor who takes the cash for the journey and hands you a ticket. While most people look at the prospect of traveling in the bus disdainfully, I, on the other hand find it to be an adventure, it is where you can actually see life at work.

Sri Lanka's Best Kept Secret

He is elusive, it hard to know where is and even harder to track him, man by night and a conjurer by day. This is none other than the Bombi Mottai man. Now for you'll who do not know what a bombi mottai man is, he is the person who sells the local candy floss which is in strings and more coarse than the normal candy floss. He doesn't have a shop or anything and you will know where he is when you hear the ringing of his bell as trudges along the road with the tall basket in hand containing the sugary goodies.He often serves it on a thin paper like material which is completely edible called nice (as seen below) which I normally eat like a hamburger with the bombi mottai in the middle serving as the patty. You may think why would there even be a difference between candy floss and bombi mottai the simple answer, it is far better and much awesome and somehow it does not melt as fast as regular candy floss. Bombi mottai is truly every child best dream,and the...
