It is even better to be in Negombo along the beach.
Two things that there commendable in the Blue Oceanic hotel lobby was a green space where the hotel is listing its participation in environment related activities and its strong policies against child sex tourism.
Often used by large travel companies like Thomas Cook, Kuoni, First Choice and many other European operators, the three star Blue Oceanic looked a bit miserable tyring to balance between the old and new. Definitely not my kind of place except for the beach front.
I had thought that the spine bending 'attention' to a white skin traveller was only the norm amongst some hoteliers and tour operators in India, but its disgustingly worse in Sri Lanka. Irrespective of where you are coming from or how wealthy you are, believe me, colour matters to some people. Especially if they are in a mood to 'please'!
Wonder how all the colonies developed this inferiority complex about their own skin colour!
