Despite the lingering tension between the different religious and ethnic groups in the wake of a bloody civil war, and the glaring inequality between the wealthy elite and rural villagers, all Sri Lankans share a great respect for family, home, and friendship, and pride in their beautiful country.

Whether visiting for business or for pleasure, <i>Culture Smart! Sri Lanka</i> is the ideal travel companion. By offering insights into Sri Lankan daily life, at home and in the workplace, and describing what Sri Lankans enjoy and how they interact socially, this volume will greatly enrich any experience among this resilient, welcoming people.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Emma Boyle</b> is a freelance travel writer who has lived in Sri Lanka since 2003.
