 Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada - ELCIC
The main difference between, say, a Buddhist temple complex here and one in Sri Lanka, is about 2,495 years.
Bounteous German hospitality and cuisine, and serious moments of worship, brought us back to our Lutheran roots every few hours—except that sauerkraut and smoked salmon are often served alongside sweet and sour squid at Vancouver Lutheran potluck dinners these days.
Lutheran immigrants from Germany and Scandinavia, who have established themselves in this area over the past century, are becoming more and more aware of this diversity which increasingly surrounds them, and are seeking faithful and creative ways of responding to their new neighbours.

 A Feast of Taprobane
Sri Lanka’s legendary beaches, that stretch over hundreds of miles are lined with coconut plantations, the swaying palm trees adding to the exquisite splendour to the landscape.
Every traveller to the paradise island of Sri Lanka could vouch for the fact that Sri Lankan food is markedly different from the food of India, even allowing for the enormous variation of food-styles that are prevalent in the sub-continent.
In Sri Lanka a handful of soaked rice is ground along with the spices, but I have found that the sauce is sufficiently thick without adding the rice.

Cuisine, are you happy with 'internationa' style or do you have some preference for the local cuisine of Sri lanka or Thailand.
Sri Lanka is still a little less built up and touristy and Phuket, so makes a nicer and relaxing stay.
In Sri Lanka the plan is to spend 4 nights at Amanwella and 3 nights at Sun House in Galle with 3 nights in Singapore to round it up.

 SRI LANKA, AN INDIAN WITHOUT THE HASSLE
Barefoot waiters in white livery, some of whom have worked there since Sri Lanka was Ceylon, serve gin and tonic on the broad verandah while you recline in your Dutch planter's chair, listen ing to the wind in the coconut palms and forgetting you are in a capital city.
So, surprisingly, what Sri Lanka offers is a sense of tran- quillity - it is, if you like, India without the hassle, a country in which the tourist can indulge in Raj-era nostalgia without being daunted by extreme poverty or the sheer size of a subcontinent.
Indeed, southern Sri Lanka is as safe and as uninterested in its civil war as southern Ireland.
