Sri Lanka
, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known as Ceylon before 1972 (hey I was born in 72 !!!), is an island country in South Asia, located about 31 kilometres (19.3 mi) off the southern coast of India.

It has also been a center of the Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times as well as being a bastion of Hinduism. The Sinhalese community forms the majority of the population; Tamils, who are concentrated in the north and east of the island, form the largest ethnic minority. Other communities include Moors, Burghers, Kaffirs, Malays and the indigenous Vedda people.

Famous for the production and export of tea, coffee, coconuts, rubber and cinnamon - which is native to the country. The natural beauty of Sri Lanka's tropical forests, beaches and landscape, as well as its rich cultural heritage, make it a world famous tourist destination.
