Life Is About Learning, Or, Why People In Sri Lanka Think I’m A Whore
I have been spending an educational and largely fun ten days in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Part of the job involves going out and getting drunk at night, which is very helpful for addressing the international traveller’s twin ailments of loneliness and jet lag-induced insomnia.
Last night, an expat Englishman pointed out to me that the name of this website, Badinia, means “I Want You”, in a very decidedly sexual way, in Singhalese. This was very helpful, because it explained why everyone I had given my business card to had laughed delightedly. Incidentally, that means my email address is I want you at I want you dot com. It’s things like this that keep my mother up at night.
