I love answering your question.
I am an American. I am a conservative and support our troupes in Iraq.
Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka
known as Ceylon before 1972. It is an island nation in South Asia
It is off the southern coast of India.
During World War II Sri Lanka served as an important base for Allied forces to fight the Japanese.
I'm not certain but I think their soldiers helped win the war.
Sri Lanka is progressing and has a modern industrial economy.
Tea comes to my mind when I think of your country.
My husband and I have watched many documentaries on Sri Lanka.
I wish peace for your country and wish you to be safe.
Thank you for your question.

Didn't you used to be Ceylon? Doesn't Arthur C. Clarke live there?
Edit - thank you, I'm a big Clarke fan and some of his books are set in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka is well know for sapphires, and yes, other geographical digs. I've met other people from there. I hope you were not affected by the tsunami Dec. 24th. It seems like it would be a fun place to visit.

I heard a lot about Sri Lanka through the news of the unfortunate fightings there. Lots of innocent people are being killed.

Yes, Me. I was really good at Geography in School but now I can't even remember the Capital City. I think it begins with an S but am not for sure. (EDIT) Damn I'm going to hell now. I Missed Capital by a long shot.
