This is one of the most authentic fish markets in the island. You would be able to see the overnight boats returning with the fish and how everything is distributed across the country from this small place. An executive chef will accompany you to the fish market and teach you how to choose the best and fresh fish. Get ready to learn the secrets of selecting the best fish! You will pick up Lobster for your lunch today. Enjoy a walking tour in the morning with your resident host. Negombo City Walk - Negombo has been coined as ‘Little Rome’ for centuries, and you will see these beautiful (Gothic) churches towering alongside the road, over the lush trees. We stop over at the largest and Grandest church (It is called Grand Street Church after-all) from the 1800’s. From there on it’s a short drive and stroll through the streets that were in the Negombo Fort area where its housing structure is yet very Dutch in all form and manner. We also see the actual fort walls, the very British little church on the hill and the Bell Tower; although with the last, one has to really use their imagination. Being known for its sea-food, the experience would not be complete until you have visited the fish market; where you know, just by being in their presence the love and dedication they have towards this trade that is just in their blood. The dry-fish market is on the beach adjoining, and the process is quite an interesting one. We will then venture on to a boat ride – but this time on the lagoon… where you get to see little tricks the fisher folk set to bait the fish/crabs and prawns. After the walk proceed to Wallawwa & learn how to cook a Lobster Pasta lunch with your executive chef London +44 208 960 1002 | Male +960 333 5896 | Colombo +94 11 255 0001 | W hummingbird.travel In the evening enjoy a Tuk Tuk Safari in Colombo.

This Safari runs a bit longer, depending on how the guests are going, so please be prepared for a massive fun filled evening. Tonight enjoy an authentic Crab String-hopper Kottu. Proceed to the kitchen and learn how to make kottu. One tip in how to make kottu – get mad and use the chop plates.

Muneshwaram Temple - It has been in existence at least since 1000 CE, although myths surrounding the temple associate it with the popular Indian epic Ramayana. The temple is one of the ancient Pancha Ishwarams dedicated to Shiva in the region. The other Ishwaram kovils are - Naguleshwaram in Jaffna, Tiru Ketheeshwaram in Mannar, Koneshwaram in Trincomalee and Tondeshwaram in Mirissa (which is lost in time). The temple complex is a collection of five temples, including a Buddhist temple. The central temple dedicated to Shiva (Siva) is the most prestigious and biggest, and is popular amongst Hindus. The other temples are dedicated to Ganesha, Ayyanayake and Kali. The Kali temple is also popular with Buddhists, who frequent the complex. Learn the art and secrets of vegetables during your stay at Forest Rock Garden. A vegetarian dinner will be served today.

Hummingbird Anuradhapura Backroads Cycling Journey - The Kingdom of Anuradhapura was the capital of Sri Lanka for more than 1000 years in ancient times. This was one of the greatest human civilizations in Asia. The sacred city was named as a UNESCO World Heritage site as well. A branch from the sacred fig tree under which Lord Buddha attained enlightenment was planted in Anuradhapura in 3rd Century BC and this tree is still alive making it the oldest tree on the face of the Earth with a known planting date. Visit the three temples of Mirisaveti, Jetavana and Ruvanweli which align perfectly with the star constellation Orion’s Belt. The only other places that this happen in the world are with the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Mayan’s Pyramids and in Angkor Wat. Cycle through the back roads with your hosted resident guide who will take you through the Inner City where you will witness an amazing side of Anuradhapura, which no one knows even exists, and definitely out of the tourist crowds. London +44 208 960 1002 | Male +960 333 5896 | Colombo +94 11 255 0001 | W hummingbird.travel Get on board your private jeep and proceed to the Wilpattu National Park where you will enjoy a picnic lunch in the wild. After the lunch, enjoy a Leopard & Bear safari. Take a jeep ride in the Wilpattu national park in search of the elusive Leopards, Sloth Bears, Wild Elephants, Wild Boar, Sambur Deer, Spotted Deer, Water Buffaloe and many bird species. The park is one of the best places in the world to see leopards. This is the largest national park in the country and is away from all the jeep madness in Yala. We prefer this park over Yala since we don’t believe in taking a guest to a national park to watch a leopard with 50 other noisy jeeps all around. We prefer to provide you with an authentic and peaceful wildlife experience where both you and the animals will be at ease. Early morning and late in the afternoon are the best times to settle in for some leopard and bear sightings. Enjoy a Jaffna Tamil vegetarian dinner at the hotel.

After lunch walk around the premises and see how local women come to this center to create Batik clothes.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Kavi Dayarambhal or Dayaram (1777-1852), considered to be one of the three greatest poets of Gujarati, brought to an end not only the age of the great bhakta- poets, but also the age of Gujarati medieval literature. After Dayaram, a new age of Gujarati literature and language began, influenced by Western education and thinking. The three chapters of Part I of the thesis look at the ways of approaching North Indian devotional literature which have informed all subsequent readings of Dayaram in the hundred and fifty years since his death. Chapter 1 is concerned with the treatment by Indologists of the Krsnaite literature in Braj Bhasa, which forms a significant part of Dayaram's literary antecedents.

  • Sweetening the Deal Tapping Into a Sweet Sri Lankan Secret by Vidya Balachander
    Navigate | LOCAL FLAVOUR Sweetening the Deal Tapping inTo a sweeT sri Lankan secreT BY VIDYA BALACHANDER considered Sri Lanka’s answer to maple The fishtail palm’s syrup. It tastes flowery, like single inflorescence is flora honey, yet not as cloying, and tapped for its sugary sap which with an undertone of warm spice like makes a sticky that of mulled wine. The secret of its treacle as well as unique flavour rests in the fact that it is solid jaggery; A produced from the sap collected from jar of fresh kithul treacle (bottom). its flowers. Like other palm products from the subcontinent, the supply of kithul treacle hinges on the dexterity of skilled tappers, who climb trees that can grow over 20 feet high. Armed with traditional wisdom about when the trees bloom (only once in their life) and form sap, tappers make a cut at the base of the stalk bearing clusters of flowers. A pot is tied to the tree to collect the precious sap, which is then thickened and purified over a wood fire before being bottled. Like the Bengali winter favourite nolen gur, a toffee-like liquid jaggery extracted from the wild date palm, Sri Lankan kithul is also a much- loved local delicacy. A complex and flavourful substitute for sugar, kithul is a quintessential part of Sri Lankan sweets such as pani walalu, a squiggly, jalebi- like sweet made of urad dal and rice which is dunked in treacle, and konda kevum, a spongy, deep-fried cake like the South Indian appe or paniyaram, flavoured with treacle instead of sugar.

Over the course of the next year, the Centre and the Korean government prepared for the establishment of the UNESCO category 2 centre which is intended to become a hub for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage in Asia and the Pacific region. As a well intentioned objective for the future activities of this centre, ICHCAP initiated the 2009 Field Survey Project of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguarding Efforts in the Asia-Pacific Region. In 2011 ICHCAP worked in collaboration with institutions from seven countries which include: Cook Islands, Kyrgyzstan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Marshall Islands, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Tonga to carry out the field surveys. The purpose of the field survey project was to obtain a grasp on the current situation of ICH safeguarding, along with specific details on each country’s efforts in inventory making and relevant policies, laws, organisations, etc. The centre will continue this project over the next several years to cover all of the countries within the Asia-Pacific region. The centre will serve Asia-Pacific Member States as an information and networking centre for the safeguarding of ICH.

    ISSN 1833-1831 Tel: 08 8672 5920 http://cooberpedyregionaltimes.wordpress.com Thursday 4 June 2015 “FOCUS ON OUR CORE STRENGTH - OPAL AND TOURISM” SAYS MAYOR The 2015 Far North SA Economic Forum took place in the Conference Room of Desert Cave Hotel on Tuesday 26th May. Mayor Stephen Staines opened the event with an authoritative speech that drew attention to the continuing importance of the opal industry for Coober Pedy. He talked about Far North SA and the State of South Australia “riding the wave of optimism” that large scale mineral mining had brought to the region but now, Coober Pedy had to “get back to basics and focus on our fundamental strengths, opal and tourism.” The Mayor spoke of the opal industry’s strengths such as: - In 1985, opal was adopted as the Gemstone Emblem of South Australia; - In 1995, opal took the mantle as the National Gemstone of Australia; - Australia continues to supply a staggering 95 per cent of the world’s natural gem quality opals; - The highest quality precious opal ranks with diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires as the world’s top five most valuable gemstones; - The state's three major opal fields - Coober Pedy, Mintabie, and Andamooka – are all located in Far North South Australia – and the opal from these fields continues to supply an estimated 80% of total world production. Yanni and Christo Pantelis gave a presentation on the transformation of the former Ampol Roadhouse, now Shell His speech implied that, despite our advantages over other opal producing countries, Australia does not capitalise on “Opal mining is an intriguing part of the mining sector Once again, the local businesses at the event were by far our strengths very well.
