Wild Colombo
... best. She'll have a lot of fun being single in this job!Well, now when I saw the crew that I would be working with (including my SFS and Purser) I thought, ok, at least my experience won't be a repeat of my flatmates! And it wasn't, don't worry. Not that I wanted it to be.But... I did have a very good time with the First Officer. He was half-Irish, and his name was Cian.

He explained that a lot of the money the world had collected for the tsunami had never reached the people who needed it. Over 40,000 people had died that day in Sri Lanka, an incredible loss of life and ...
Colombo, cricket and rain
... the train line and it was depressing to see where there were once a concrete house people had built a shelter made of of iron sheets, washed up wood and occasionally palm fronds on what was left of their former house- usually only the concrete floor.
