Indischer Ozean: Auf diesen Inseln entkommen Sie dem Winter
Le Sri Lanka c'est vraiment bien comme destination. Pour moi c'est comme la Thaïlande mais avec moins de touristes (mais il y en a quand même). De jolis temples, une belle nature, une mer chaude... et les gens sont sympas, soucieux de l'image de leur pays, bien sûr ils sont conscients des revenus qu'apporte le tourisme, mais je pense que l'esprit du bouddhisme y est aussi pour quelque chose. La vie y est peu chère, selon ce que l'on choisit comme hôtel et restaurant bien sûr. Je ne me suis fait arnaquer qu'une seule fois pour le moment, une affaire bien jouée parce que je fais attention, mais il faut s'y attendre dans ces pays où la richesse est inéquitablement répartie. Mais à aucun moment je ne me suis senti en insécurité, y compris à Colombo. Et la situation politique semble s'être stabilisée, même si l'équilibre est probablement encore fragile.
Bref, si vous cherchez des idées pour du tourisme en Asie, je recommande.

India became the first team to qualify for the ODI World Cup semifinals after beating Sri Lanka by a massive 302 runs in Mumbai on Thursday. Mohammed Shami (5/18) and Mohammed Siraj (3/16) ran through the Sri Lanka batting line-up as the Islanders were bundled out for 55 in 19.4 overs while chasing 358. Only three Sri Lanka batters -- Kasun Rajitha (14), Angelo Mathews (12) and Maheesh Theekshana (12 not out) -- could reach double digits scores in the chase.

#Cricket format proliferation can be controversial, but here's how we can reunify the sport:
Whoever wins the toss puts #England in to bat. When they're all out, allow enforcing a follow-on (even though #SriLanka have yet to bat). After two England attempts, Sri Lanka finally bats, and wins by an innings.
Everybody gets what they want: England will play like it's the #Hundred anyway. Sri Lanka can practice a #Test. And the match is finished in #ODI time. The best of all worlds! #CWC2023

Sri Lanka allows Chinese research ship to dock as India's security concerns grow
China’s Shi Yan 6 was given permission to dock for replenishment at the port of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s main port, from October 25 to 28, said foreign ministry spokesman Kapila Fonseka.

I misplaced my big umbrella yesterday, the kind with a collapsible outer shell to catch water when closed. Since we're still in the monsoon season or something, and I'm not even fully recovered from the flu, I immediately tried to buy a new one. This is footage of me learning the current price of an umbrella. #SriLanka
📜 China 🇨🇳 misusing media to shape false narratives, suppress critical data in South Asia:
「In 2023, the country stood at a shocking 179th place, out of 180 countries, ahead only of North Korea.
Yet, today, Chinese media companies, both state-owned and private, are globally engaged in content production and distribution, direct investment in other media ventures, and training and media development efforts.
“Managing” public opinion overseas, especially on subjects such as the Communist Party’s legitimacy, Tibet, alleged violations of Uyghur rights in Xinjiang, demolition of political rights and civil liberties in Hong Kong, and the country’s role in Covid-19 pandemic, is one of the major parts of the propaganda.」
「Popular social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have become a common tool to disseminate favourable content.
Purchase of fake followers, creation of armies of fake accounts that artificially amplify posts from Chinese diplomats is common.
Other than that, unaffiliated social media influencers are routinely paid or trained to promote pro-Beijing content, without revealing their CCP ties.
One particularly disturbing trend is the use of coordinated online harassment campaigns against journalists working in overseas countries.
The campaigns especially tend to target women of East Asian, including ethnic Chinese, descent.」

De Nederlandse cricketers hebben op het WK in India de derde nederlaag geleden. Sri Lanka was de ploeg van bondscoach Ryan Cook net de baas. Oranje kwam tot 262 runs, Sri Lanka passeerde dat totaal in de voorlaatste over voor het verlies van vijf wickets.

"The Biden administration on Friday laid out the details of a $105 billion national security package that includes military and humanitarian assistance for the conflicts in #Ukraine and #Israel."
105 Billion. Not Million. Billion.
Just to put this in perspective, this is way more than the GDP of #Srilanka, a country battered by #debt and economic crisis.

So the #BBC is testing out their own server on #Mastodon.
BBC Research and Development have set up https://social.bbc/about
So far they have 6 published accounts (which I will list in the next post in a bit, below).
Here is a link to the blog on their website announcing it, which confirms this server is legit:

Until recently, there had been a significant absence in research on Sri Lanka’s fireflies; previous work was by British scientists a couple hundred years ago, but now a new surge in research has led to new findings in the pipeline for publication.
Recent #research has led to the rediscovery of Luciola nicolleri, a #firefly not seen since its description 100 years ago, and Curtos costipennis, a new discovery in #SriLanka.

I wore this dress earlier in the month when I didn't have my selfie stick. Photo was taken last year. I LOVE this dress, which my tailoring teacher in ViệtNamhelped me with a lot. My only regret is that it has no #pockets. Made with a fabulous sarong that I bought in #SriLanka. I constantly get compliments. People love the elephants. Super comfy and easy to wash/dry/ and wear again when I'm travelling. I wish I kept more sarongs, which are unique in each country.
