I would like to plan a trip to Asia at the end of the year but I haven't decided the route yet. Sri Lanka sounds great but I'm also interested in Vietnam, Laos or Thailand. What do you recommend me? Thanks! Ops and... I'm also travelling as a couple! Wow, amazing pictures. I would like to plan a trip to Asia at the end of the year but I haven’t decided the route yet.

I'm not so much of a fan of spicy food but I am very interested with tasting new things :D Colombo and Kandy... will take note of this. Maybe someday I'll be able to go to Sri Lanka! *fingers crossed* Can't seem to open the link you gave me :( Don't know if it's with my browser or if the site is just under maintenance or something.

Traditional Sri Lankan food is generally quite spicy and not for the faint of heart :-) However most places are now very tourist friendly and tone down the level chilli and spice. In cities like Colombo and Kandy you will also find options for other cuisines -- See my article on Colombo restaurants for some reviews: http://http://discovering-serendipity.com/restaurants-and-stays/colombo-gastronomic-tour/ Glad you enjoyed the post, Wangering Trader!

And of course now I am doubly intrigued and need to find a way there, stat. I was in the northernmost atoll of the Maldives a few years back and so close but so very far (I tried to get a boat captain to take me, but apparently there are these harrowing international waters laws to comply with!).
