Sri Lanka Day 3 - Kandy


Day 3 was nothing much, we found ourselves happily trying the saree at one of their factory outlets in Kandy. They provide free saree trying and photography is allowed too. This was my first time wearing saree so i had a really hard time choosing the color and design, i think they have more than 100 designs to choose from..lol! The ladies there will help you to wear the saree so no worries! I was really amazed by how that one long piece of fabric was turned into a saree just by draping and folding here and there. So tempted to buy the saree home but it's quite expensive so i just bought a few pants so that the lady who served me can earn some commission..i think i disappointed her opps :x As we all know, one of the famous thing in Sri Lanka will be their tea plantation, we visited one of the tea plantations in Sri Lanka and got to see how the tea leaves are produced. All the tea leaves are still handpicked and the guide told us that the workers have to collect 20kgs of tea leaves each everyday..omg! We then went to the factory to see how the tea leaves are processed and also we had a tea testing session where we had different types of tea ranging from the most expensive to the most common one. Bought some tea leaves for souvenir and this conclude our day 3 in Kandy, moving on to Colombo the next day~
