Sri Lankan traditional village
Ayubowan my friends, today we will tour a small village and taste some traditional Sri Lankan food. Let us begin with a bullock cart ride:
Rice fields, banana trees and village houses:
Building a house:
The two ladies are preparing coconut rotis for our group:
Rotis are served on a palm leaf plate, covered with another leaf. They were served with coconut sambol to add more flavour. 
Coconut shells were used to serve their special herbal tea:
While they were preparing rotis, we had a chance to see other presentations:
Here is their family and house:
When a baby is born, he or she receives the “third eye”, a black dot on his or her forehead to keep evil spirits away.
Most of their bathroom is under the sky, only the toilet gives you some privacy.
