Sri Lanka: Name of good lawyer:

You will find answer to this when you see pigs fly. Specially the lawyers the kind that you can not trust there, best to get a reputed bank involved when buying the property. History of the property need to be checked for at least 30 years. Get National savings bank (NSB) or Bank of ceylon involved and stay away from private banks and finance companies they come and go. NSB and other banks has deposit guarantee. Open NRFC account in NSB or any other state bank put some funds and borrow 5% of from the bank and you fund 95% of the property value. The intent here is to get the bank involved and get them to do the checking the history of the property and also validity of deed of transaction. Once the property is settled pay off the 5% you borrow and all is done. Because bank's money is at risk they utilize their contacts and resources to keep everything legal and also proper. I have nightmare stories to tell, how some venders had sold the property to two buyers at the same time and using two set of lawyers and then it will in court system for 20 years could be longer, another instance reputed and experienced lawyers had sold property using fraudulent documents (diseased estate) hoping no one will have a claim to find few years down the track someone put a claim on sold property. Good luck and all the best

Sri Lanka: middle school in Colombo:

International school is the way to go, Most schools are academically advanceed compared to rest of the world, including US, UK. I looed in to moving up there my daughter who is grade one in Australia need to do a briding course just to slot in my daughter is bright and was even offered to bump up a grade in Australia , i. e she can go to grade 3 and by pass grade 2 as she does not have anything to learn in grade 2, although she is in grade 1 in Australia. But in SL she just barely keeping her head up. Another friend of mine a doctor moved up to Australia from SL (migrated) his two sons were in grade 6 in SL and in Aus they went to grade 6 initially and had nothing to lean and was beefed up to grade 8. I will move to SL within next three years and plan at the moment my daughter is in a acclerated leaning program according to SL accademic year so when we move in she can be slotted in easy. I have research in to many international schools, I found some good and some not so good, (location, safety not good open gate to main highway etc, pool is not fenced etc, as a parent I was not comfortable with some schools) acadamecially all of them are good, Also plan to introdue towards London ordinary level at grade 10 and London advance level at grade 12. Any more questions happy to answer

Sri Lanka: Relationship with Sri Lankan:

Hi there Actually I had the opposite of the issue you are having. I now live in Australia and have been for last 18 years and also I have been happily married to a white Australian girl since 1998. Now 14 years and blessed with a beautiful 6 year old daughter. I am Sri Lankan born and bread until I went overseas to Australia at the age of 24 for university studies. I Met my wife when I was at Uni and I have been in a relationship with her since 1998. With my traditional family in Sri Lanka I was open about the relationship from the beginning. Let me also add before I left for uni studies to Australia I have had a arrange marriage situation and I was expected to come back home too marry this silencing lady. But my lovely wife I got to gather when I was in last year of my studies. I was very assertive and may I add was some what aggressive towards sri Lankan community with regard to how my wife should be accepted. No one dare say anything to my face or to her and also If I have head that any person had said anything negative about my wife I usually pay that person a visit at their home to convulsive his/his misfortunes of his/her mouth. Soon the reputation spread and my lovely wife was treated better than I get treated. Even within Sri Lankan community in Australia and also with in my family in Sri Lanka. My mother has been a traditional woman all her life and her relationship to my father has been rocky at best. She had a arrange marriage. When I met Louise her question to me was “ do you love her and does she love you” and the answer was yes to both . With that answer she accepted Louise both hands and both of them are best these days. Both ladies engage in extended shopping trips in AUS and also SL these days ignore my phone calls while shopping and let me worry about them while they are away.LOL The problem I had was with Louise’s family as they disowned because of me, she was old by her hum to go and find a “white Australian boy” like everyone else and eventually when we decided marry she was told me or them and my wife Louise decided to follow her heart and she does not have any contact with her family for last 14 years since we got married and we are not a least worry about this very happy with our lives. My advise is go with the flow, your man is likely protecting you while he is thinking way around the crap and may be devising a plan like I did. Hope he get his elements right before you loose each other. Either of you can talk to both of us wickremasena@bigpond.com
