Waiting for my flight to Colombo, and tomorrow I fly to Vietnam.
Here's a just a few more observations from my stay in Batticaloa. I didn't really search for things to do. After all, it's a pretty small place. But there are some interesting aspects to the place that you see just from staying here.
One thing is the religions. Batticaloa is in the Tamil area of Sri Lanka, which is predominatly Hindu, and there are some amazing Hindu temples.
The biggest sport here must be cricket. After school you can see boys playing in a field.
Finally, since this is a mainly Hindu area, you see cows wandering the streets.

There is also a sizable Muslim population. In fact one area in the south part of town is almost all Muslim, and it feels like a different plalce. There are several mosques scatterered around all of Batticalao. This is one downtown.
The biggest surprise for me however was the number of Christian churches. There are a lot of them. I don't know what percentage of the population is Christian, but they certainly have a lot of real estate.
