Hello Ryang22. First of all welcome to Sri Lanka.
Are you going to Sri Lanka on holiday or work. Either way, you will find the place very fascinating, be it the crowded downtown streets of the cities like Colombo, Kandy and Galle or the laid back roads of the country side.
What you do depends on your preferences. Let me know what your preferences are and I could (try to) give you some tips of places to visit and things to do.

Ayubowan (traditional greeting in Sinhala, the national language of Sri Lanka, and it means "May you live long")

All depends on what you like to do.

Hello Ryan,

I was in Srilanka in April and looking forward to coming back in November.

First of all how long you going to be in Srilanka?

My advice to you is that if your over there for a short period, dont cram in too much stuff for sight seeing as travelling around takes up too much time.  Travelling on the train is cheap, as I went down south for around 900 rupees in first class or around 400 rupees in second class. Air taxi is also a quick way of getting around the island, from galle to colombo it was around £40 one way.

Certain things ive noticed have gone up in price ie alchohol, I normally stuck to lion beer which is cheap, even cheaper if you get it from the liquor store.  Note that on certain days of the month where there is a full moon, alchohol cannot be sold and its a public holiday.

If you go down south, I visited an animal rescue centre called animal sos sri lanka in ahungama not far from koggola beach hotel, where I stayed.  An english lady called Kim set it up, to take care of stray and abused dogs, its an amazing place.  I took some stuff for the dogs and donated some money as she relies on charity mainly. If you help out, she has rooms for people to stay, its clean and very safe.

If your missing home? there is a mac donalds in colombo.......lol

Look forward to hearing about your plans.

Welcome to Sri Lanka. There are plenty of places to visit and see in Sri Lanka depending on your interests. Colombo is a clean but crowd city like any other metropolitan city. All modern facilities are available such as good hospitals, cinemas, shopping malls, pubs, discos, gyms and bars. If you are interested in culture and history, you can go to Kandy and North Central Province where you can see historical places over 2000 years old. If you are keen on beaches, Southern and Eastern areas have some of the best beaches in the world. If you want cooler climates and a bit of mountains, Central part of the country is hilly and cool. Comfortable Accommodation and meals are available in all these areas.

Hi, when you in Colombo.please call me on 0777746022. I would like to help you.
