Places to avoid......

Having read the FCO website, I guess we just need to avoid or take note of the following over the next 2 weeks:

1) Signs warning about the danger from landmines and do not step off metalled roads.
2) Avoid travel to the north and east of Sri Lanka, and to Yala National Park.
3) Avoid cafe's in Ampara.
4) Avoid taking the bus in Colombo.
5) Avoid public events.
6) Avoid Welioya.
7) Avoid railway stations.
8) Basically, avoid ALL buses and trains!
9) Don't use credit cards as credit card fraud is a problem.
10) Ensure that we leave army trousers, boots and my camouflage t-shirt at home.
11) Don't take a photo of a VIP because you will be detained. Any idea what a VIP in Sri Lanka looks like?!?
