Sri Lanka (Ceylon)
Sri Lanka is an island of contrasts because it contains such a variety of cultural experiences and natural wonders in such a small area. The romantics probably best summed it up when the called it "The Teardrop of India". The islands shape is that of a tear drop and the conflict between the beauty of the land and the "Tamal Tigers" rebel band have disrupted the soothing state of serendipity that one gets while traveling around the country.
