The weekend I arrived a large collage group from London also
arrived, and they were all staying at a hotel as the two volunteer houses couldn’t
accommodate them. Sundays are orientation days so we had orientation in the
hotel. Ashika went through everything we
needed to know about Sri Lanka, the projects, the town, how to go about weekend
trips etc
Then EVERYONE came back to Lion House (which is what the
house I am staying in is called) for lunch which was pretty mental. The food
has been fine, I was worried it would be way too spicy for me to handle but
they make sure they make everything ‘bland’ for us volunteers. Apparently food
at the other house is much spicier so I am counting myself as lucky because
some of the dishes here I do still find rather spicy and can only just handle
them! It’s all been good though, and so far I am not fed up of rice…but
something tells me that may change as the weeks progress!
In the afternoon we went to a gemstone mine, and then visited a temple. I will talk about those in separate posts so that this one doesn't get too long with photo uploads.
