Are tuks scarce these days?
Finally for a tuk to (finally) visit my paternal grandparents. When the tuk dude arrived eons later, I hopped in and was like, TO DALUKOTUWA!
and he was like you mean Dalupitiya?
Right, that's why it wasn't on Google Maps...

Yes yes I said, to Dalupitiya.
There is no place called Dalukotuwa, he said. There is actually, a DaluWAkotuwa I replied. But yes, to Dalupitiya stat pls, I'm late. Fast? He asked. Aiwa. Fast, uncle.

He took a completely different route (new highway entrances mean new roads) and is zipping at high speed along paddy fields and whatnot. I'm not sure if the tyres are touching the road. A water bottle he'd kept at the back went flying past my head and got lost.
Also idk where we are. But I'm all hyped up for urban jungle adventures.
He asked me for directions. I was like er? Idk these roads, man. But the be said a familiar name and I'm like YES to thst junction.
Also, these roads have flooded. Now we're going through water.

He knows his geography - and biology. Being the plant aunty I am, I pointed at some lovely purple blooms among the weeds in the flood waters and the flooded paddy fields and asked what they were. Turns out it's Japan Jabara blooms.
