“What Living in Sri Lanka Has Taught Me”
“Sri Lanka does not equal Asia leave your prejudices at home Six months ago I used to
live in Korea as an exchange student. After my stay there, to me, Asian cuisine was all
about way too spicy meat and tasteless white rice, Asians were mainly focused on
partying and there were only grey megalopolises with hundreds of skyscrapers and no
nature. This was the reason I tried to keep my expectation regarding an internship in Sri
Lanka as low as possible so that I do not get disappointed. However, Sri Lanka is nothing
like that. The cuisine is amazing – delicious fried rice or noodles with vegetables and
chicken, egg hoppers and tons of fruits. The local people as well as the people coming
from other countries are amazing. I have never expected that they would be interested in
spending time in the wild, riding elephants or even laughing when un expected rainfall
ruins your makeup.
Although I have always preferred working alone and not having to explain my decisions to
other team members, living in Sri Lanka proved me wrong. If I was good at taking short
videos, there was another girl who was able to put the videos together and make a whole
movie. Another one had great ideas about background music. Everybody is good at
something, they just have to find and develop their potential! Organize something well,
find the right people and you will enjoy every part of it I have never expected that the
project “Explore Sri Lanka” would be so wellorganized. The tours were prepared in
advance and the AIESECers have taken care about every detail. I could not imagine
travelling alone by bus in Sri Lanka or asking for the directions. Therefore, it was truly
great that there was always a team member with us to help us out with everything. The
good organization as well as the friendly AIESECers made every experience
unforgettable. This way, we have enjoyed every part of the journey and found something
amazing or hilarious even in the difficulties we have.”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore
dream discover. So I come to Sri Lanka, a country in my dream.
Sri Lanka in Chinese “斯⾥兰卡”. What a beautiful name! It is Nishadi
who interviewed me in skype, though the network is poor, she always
smile to me. I remember her big eyes and beautiful smile. That’s my
first impression of Sri Lankan people. This trip was a deep immersion
into Sri Lankan culture and life!
I thought teaching poor areas’ children is a very meaningful thing. The
children makes me moved time and time again. Most of our students
were quiet and clever .Just several are very naughty but also lovely.
Though the small village is not very rich, I can still feel their optimistic
heart in hard life. Everyday we come to school, all the students come
out to welcome us, all of class gave me loving eyes. we teach them
some new words ,they will try their best to learn and remember. The
relationship between I and they were very close in daily life. We often
played games together. Furthermore, every student is very polite. They
met us to say ”hello” with smile every time.
The last week we came to school ,many students say to us “no china", I
can’t understand what they said. After Nishan’s translation, I know they
said ”don’t go back china”. I can’t help crying. Their beautiful smile ,
pure heart is the most precious thing in the world.
It is hard for us to say “goodbye”, to the lovely students, to the friendly
local people, to the amazing scenery.
Thank you all the members in CN. Many kisses and hugs to you all.
Nothing would happen without you all.
It is my second home, I never forget every moments here. Miss you all.
