Pax Britanica
I share your view on Sri Lanka and its people and we have been there twice. I do refer to it as "India light" as its not as intense as India in my experience, as done quite a bit of time there sorting out issues for others.
The first time was just after the Tamil issue in the North, and that was still out of bounds, but we travelled around with our driver who was of Dutch ancestry, and towered over his fellow countrymen, indeed I thought he was South African when we first met. We ended up eventually in Galle and stayed at the Amangalla inside the walls which my wife loved, and she also got to watch some cricket while we were there, so I was awarded many Brownie points as a result. Best of luck with the insurers.
Cheers
