Native Sinhalese Toddy collector #IMG775 Toddy (Raa) is the sap of palm trees used as a beverage. To collect palm sap, the flower bud is cut at the tip before it blossoms and a pot (clay pot) is hung to collect the sap. This tradition method of collecting Toddy is slowly becoming a rare scene.
during my 1988 visit to Colombo (also Kandy), I noticed several more-than-life-size religious images (the Blessed Virgin, among others, I recall best) on the road side (from airport to Colombo to several other places). I am Catholic and appreciated the scenes. are these images still around in any place near Colombo? Unfortunately, I took non prictures during that visit! thanks
