Exclusive Street Scenes of Colombo, Sri Lanka 2010

some street scenes from the chaotic capital of a 3rd world country. THIS IS NOT 1ST WORLD OR 2ND WORLD IN ANY WAY TRUST ME BEEN THERE. really interesting actually though! I traveled there in august...
-
NOTE!!! I only filmed the poorer parts because those are the interesting parts... Other than that Colombo has a few middle class areas but those are boring.. In my opinion there is not much to do in Colombo. Come on guys, Dambulla, Kandi, and other places are more interesting than this place.
-
there were some middle income neighborhoods in Colombo, but those neighborhoods don't seem to exist outside of Colombo meaning (from what I saw) a lot of Sri Lanka including other towns has similar scenes to the ones in this video.

@ElevationLowJJ But this is not the overall view of Colombo city. This is the worst area of Colombo but 95% of the city is completely different to this place.

This is NOT an accurate depiction of Colombo. I am very familiar with Colombo. You mostly show the run down poorer, ghetto areas such as the pettah bazaar, close to the central bus station & railway station & neglected the better developed areas of which only a few fleeting shots were shown. You obviously did not travel the whole of Colombo city

my colombo z a more cleaner,more disciplined and more pleasant environment than any other place in south asia.The hospitality,friendly response with a kind word or smile you can't find in the same way in any other place in south asia.No money craving mentality,No frauds up to socalled state.No extreme heat or cold.come and visit there and you every one are allways wellcome including all friendly tamil people.

I don't think this is an accurate description of Sri Lanka's commercial capital , its true that there is chaos on the streets in some areas, but the authorities are working hard on development for the sake of those who live in Colombo and use the city roads.

Sri Lanka isn't a 3rd world country, before you comment its best you visit recognised sites based on country profile and see.

Colombo is fast becoming a well developed city for all Sri Lanka's and visitors alike. Cheers Visit Sri Lanka.

Haha - I like the traffic in the roundabout (at 2:18 - 2:41) - everyone seems to go the "own way" from pedestrians and bicycle drivers, to those "motorcycle cars" and trucks - but no accidents, no conflicts, nothing...Just it seems to be a natural way...
