After reading reviews on the Internet about holidays in Sri Lanka, I was very afraid to go, especially without knowing English. But the holiday exceeded all expectations. You should not compare it with Turkey or Egypt. Here we (Ukrainians, Russians) are loved the same as the Germans, the French. People are very kind and friendly, struggling to understand what we say to them in Russian or very bad English. If you want a good Russian-speaking guide, go outside the hotel gate and ask the local tuk-tukers Semi. If he is not there, they will immediately dial him on his mobile and give you a phone to talk to (by the way, say hello to him from Elena the Chipmunk), in Sinhalese, Elena is translated as a chipmunk. I really liked the tuk-tuk ride to the waterfall ($20 per tuk-tuk). We went to Kandy with him for 65 per person, but the trip is extremely tiring, it would be better to ride a tuk-tuk around the neighborhood. And now the advice is to take scotch tape and bags for packing luggage from home, otherwise it costs $ 8 at the airport. from a bag, and by a handicraft method. Even at the airport souvenirs are cheap and very high quality cotton T-shirts. It is better to buy tea in supermarkets (2 times cheaper than where taxi drivers will take you)
