What is Sri Lankan culture like?
Sri Lankans are friendly, helpful and courteous by nature and you are likely to be welcomed with a smile in any part of the country. You are expected to behave accordingly; they will not take kindly to loss of temper or raised voices on your part and such behaviour may work to your disadvantage. Life is generally laid-back and relaxed although this may be different in Colombo and some of the main cities. People are just as concerned about enjoying life as about working hard and making money. In certain villages, people still have special roles assigned to them and some professions are specially confined to some villages.
