It was your first experience with workaway and we were lucky that we could help Dulli with opening his new place. We tried diffent srilankan food and visited alms giving(Buddhist tradition)
Dulli was very easy going and we had a good time. We weren't forced to work work every day from x to y. It was fun working in this place.
