[EN] Unawatuna vs Colombo
Colombo, place where I life right now, is a big city, full of cars, tuk-tuks and crowded buses. Comparing to rest of the Island (even to cost living on the very beautiful and tourist visited beaches) life hire is expensive.
For example - very, very delicious dinner in Unawatuna (this is one from the most beautiful beaches in the world, with beautiful water, sand, coco palms, hotels, clubs and restaurants around): grilled Salomon, salad and chips - cost around 3USD (Rs 290/-). Dinner in restaurant on the same level in Colombo (not so much tasty like food on the beach) cost minimum 5-7USD (Rs 500-700/-).
Big bottle of ARAK (very tasty Sri Lanka vodka) cost in Unawatuna Rs 450/- in Colombo around Rs 520-650/-.
Every day I spend for transport from home to work, from work to shop/friends and back to home around Rs 200-300/- (or even much, much more). In Unawatuna for Rs 300/- you can have really nice room in hotel, you can spend hole day on the beach and pay maximum Rs 120/- for tuk-tuk to the nearest city - Galle.
Rent a two rooms flat in Colombo this is expensive around 160 - 250USD per month.
Comparing to European prices is still not so bad. But I came here for holidays ;)) Maybe it will be really great idea to move somewhere outside the capital.
