Yea, yea. But without night clubs and discos you will not be able to get the tourists there, capital or not. In the meantime, add a few bars or most people will not want to visit your new capital.

Very interesting statement. We will have so many capitals soon in the tiny country. Not a bad idea. Suba Udasenayake. Thanks DM for giving us this type of news.

So! Has Sri Lanka now been divided to North and South? Is so, has Prabahakaran's elusive dream of Eelam been made a reality ?
