Batticaloa-Polunarawa-Anuradhapura               Sri Lanka  Day Five     

trains, planes & automobiles 

Actually, just buses and tri shaws. Rose at 5:15 to catch 6:00am bus from Batti to Polunarawa. Kumar was outside waiting ; I love that guy. We almost missed the bus. In fact, we passed it and Kumar chased it down. It was awesome he corralled it, cut it off and waved the driver down. I said a hasty goodbye, slipped 500 rupees in his pocket and hopped up he stairs to the already packed bus.

He has reported to my friend Rajes that I pay him way too much. How’s that for a twist. 500 Rupees is basically $3.45, or something. For driving me 3/4 miles he would charge 200 rupees or less than 3 US bucks. The difference between 500 and 200 is monumental to them.
