Colombo (Sinhala: කොළඹ, pronounced [ˈkəlɐmbɞ]; Tamil: கொழும்பு) is the commercial capital and largest city of Sri Lanka. According to the Brookings Institution, Colombo has a population of 5.6 million metropolitan area, and 752,993 in the City proper. It is the financial centre of the island and a popular tourist destination. It is located on the west coast of the island and adjacent to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, the legislative capital of Sri Lanka. Colombo is often referred to as the capital since Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte is within the urban area of, and a satellite city of, Colombo. It is also the administrative capital of Western Province, Sri Lanka and the district capital of Colombo District. Colombo is a busy and vibrant place with a mixture of modern life and colonial buildings and ruins. It was the legislative capital of Sri Lanka until 1982.
Due to its large harbour and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. It was made the capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815, and its status as capital was retained when the nation became independent in 1948. In 1978, when administrative functions were moved to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Colombo was designated as the commercial capital of Sri Lanka.

Epoch Times took a trip to Colombo, Sri Lanka. Here's a brief view of the adventure!
For my forth country of the year, I flew over to Sri Lanka, starting in the capital, Colombo. After a day on the road, I found myself in the stunning surroundings of Dambulla, where I wasted no time in trekking the Sri Lankan jungle. We then spent some time in Sigiriya, relaxing in the Jetwing hotel and seeing elephants on safari! After another long journey up to the North of the country, we spent a week on the beaches of Trincomalee, where we saw dolphins, whales and I indulged in a spot of jetskiing. But before going home, I had to experience one of the most famous Sri Lankan delicacies, it's tea, in Kandy.

This walk is down the eastern edge of Victoria Park, down Ward Place and Kynsey Road.
each night I wonder when I lay down to watch the stars
why he won’t ever come out
hid in his store to deny books full of scars
written to give colours to his life
now he’s what he never wanted to be,
he’ll tell you tales of days when he was young
god knows that he’s aware of reaching boiling points
digging in the earth that built his past
entering the store you feel the string that holds is thin
he’ll tell you tales of days when he grew old
tonight when he got to bed he’ll fall asleep
today he won’t ever wake up
one day I’ll start a revolution, throw a coin
when all the things surrounding me are gone”
his earthy powers will be washed away
and thrown into the winds
he’s taking every secret to the sky
don’t let me down
