Climbing Dawson Tower

Dawson tower was built by the British in remembrance of Captain Dawson. He was a brilliant civil engineer who was put in charge of building the Colombo-Kandy highway. He began his work in 1820 under the most difficult conditions. The project was plagued by disease, difficult terrain and mishaps. Cpt. Dawson passed away in 1829 and this tower was built to remember him and his services.



The tower is made out of, mainly, bricks. The walls are very thick because of that. There are no windows therefore the air inside is frigid. The views are amazing and on a clear day they say you can see Colombo city from up there.

Brave Wilderness Trapjaw Ant

Trapjaw Ant has one of the most painful bites in the insect world. The pain is similar to puncturing the skin with a red hot pin. You don't want to mess with this little critter if you ever encounter one. But, I was stung before and I'm used to the pain. So I'm getting bitten for the vlog's sake.



Stupid, am I not?

Extracting coconut oil

We Sri Lankans consume coconut oil more than any other oil. The best way to get virgin coconut oil is to extract them yourself, which is not a job for everybody. I had some extra coconuts and I dried them up and went to the mill and extracted some fresh coconut oil.



Here's how I did it.
