-- Today, (02 mar.), our Kaffeeklatsch was joined by an elderly & American acquaintance of one of our other members, who - or so he claims - has lived-in SRI LANKA, (aka. CEYLON or Serendip.), for the last thirty or so yrs.;
- I enquired about cruising in gen'l.?
- The considered reply was that it is VERY MUCH AYOR. as there are many heroin-addicts etc. etc. on the loose; the better bet is to pick-up some young man whom you see is working gainfully in a rest't., shop or similar;
- There are the equivalents of short time or of love hotels avail. for around USD.05.oo. a session;
-- The only cruising place in COLOMBO is the Atrium in UNITY PLAZA., wch. is notorious as the young men there are all money-boyz whose MINIMUM asking price is $60.oo. - but you'll be v. lucky to get-away with under $100.oo.!
- But be advised the Sec. Gds. are v. unfriendly, especially to those seen talking with known money-boyz!

-- Never ever take-out with you any more money than you're prepared to lose as robberies are not uncommon.

-- In short, right now, you'd be well-advised to give SRI LANKA a miss, especially as male h'sexual. behaviour, whether in public or in private, is still illegal, (a relic from the days of the oppressive & British colonialists. Reportedly the local Gay Rights' mvt. tried to get it decriminalised but only succeeded in adding Lesbianism to being illegal!),;
- The current joke is that the next time that the gay rights' mvt. tries to get the h'sexual life-style decrimininalised all that it'll succeed in doing will be getting h'sexual. behavior ADDED to the death penalty!

Sri Lanka can be fabulous - I have had wonderful holidays in Negombo. Just make sure you are staying in a gay-friendly guesthouse.

-- In Dec. 2009. my Elderly, WYSIWYG. & American Friend visited NEGOMBO; he was shewn two GHs. that were allegedly gay-friendly. He told me that one was CLOSED and that the other, judging from its atmosphere and those there, was sub-std., below even that of a well-known hotel on BKK's Suriwong rd.! :-(

-- Today, (29th.), forenoon I was chatting with my Elderly, Pattaya-based & American Friend about NEGAMBO - Sri Lanka, (aka. Ceylon.),;
- He mentioned the flg. GH. as a place to stay as recommended by a discriminating friend of his -

GOMEZ PLACE.,
- addr.: 22/6b., Poruthota rd.,
Ettukala, NEGAMBO, Sri Lanka.
- tel.: (+94-31)-227 6827.;
- e-mail: > kgomez1972@yahoo.com < > info@gomezplace.com <
- web: > Sri Lankan Hotels, Accommodation, and Guesthouses <

- NEGAMBO, reportedly a fine beach-resort, is roughly 22M. NORTH of COLOMBO;
- Google's lat. & long. are: 79-50-08.E.x07-12-31.N., (or 79.8358.E.x07.2086.N.),.

-- E&OE. as reported speech and I've not visited. --

-- Quite by chance, as one writes - pure serendipidity, in fact - I happened to reading through some of the threads in Baht-stop, (a Pattaya-centric but o'seas. based web-site.), when I came-across a longish article about going-on holiday in SRI-LANKA

> The Baht Stop <
>> OPEN FORUM
>> Holiday in Madras, (Chennai)
>> Scroll-DOWN and one will come-aross the entry on SRI-LANKA wch. seems to me to be quite informative.
