Ayubowan. That means “hello” in the language of my people. It’s a goodbye from me however, for a short time, as I travel to the land of my birth. For the next two weeks, I’ll be trying to adjust to the oppressive weather and odd asian accents as I visit family on the island of Sri Lanka.
Here’s a map of my sure-to-be restless flights from Cape Town to Johannesburg to Doha, and finally to Colombo.

I can’t be certain of Internet access there, so this blog may lay fallow in my absence, aside from the various game reviews that we are obliged to publish.
I may post occasionally to Twitter, so if you’d like to chat to me, direct your tweets to @onelargeprawn. If you were there in the beginning and still remain a loyalist, you can also say ayubowan to me on Google+.
Until next time my friends.

Happy travels dude :-)) Have a safe trip!
Thank you Nick. I haven’t been home in 10 years. The last time I was back, rubbish was still being burnt along the sides of the road and people laughed at my rubbish Singhalese accent. I know one of those things won’t have changed.
Yeah safe travels dude – and have fun, say hi to the fam :)
Cheers Deems. I’ll be happier when I’ve gotten through labyrinth that is passport control. It’s like they don’t know we all have planes to catch.
Have a nice one Dumi. Come back in one piece.
Me too cuzzie! I’m sweating buckets over here.
I thought I lose some weight but I keep eating every new thing I see, lol.
Enjoy your trip! Enjoy the food. I imagine the curry in India must be amazing.
