What do I need to know before moving to Sri Lanka?

"Sri Lanka is a beautiful and diverse country with a rich culture and history. Expats should be aware that the official language is Sinhala, although English is widely spoken. It is important to research the local customs and etiquette before moving to Sri Lanka, as there are certain cultural norms that should be respected. Expats should also be aware that the cost of living in Sri Lanka is generally lower than in other countries, but that the quality of goods and services may not be as high. Additionally, expats should be aware that the climate in Sri Lanka can be quite hot and humid, so it is important to be prepared for the weather. Finally, expats should be aware that the healthcare system in Sri Lanka is not as advanced as in other countries, so it is important to have adequate health insurance," wrote a member who made the move to Sri Lanka.
