Friends in Colombo asking if we are coming down for Borella 5:00 PM - reply the 6:28 PM pin
Woke up to the Colombo chat already asking. They want us at Borella at 5:00 PM. We already decided 6:28 PM is tonight. Partner wants to keep the chat open and see. I think one screenshot of the Maligawa 6:28 PM row and mute. Reply the pin, or keep negotiating through theva.

One message: Kandy tonight 6:28 PM, cannot do Borella 5:00 PM. Screenshot the official table. Mute. A running negotiation through 3:30 PM is how nobody sleeps and nobody stands.
They can send a photo from Borella. You send a photo from the kerb. That is the split.
Scam Watch: colombo
Driver claims the meter is broken and quotes an inflated flat rate. Common on arrival at airport or railway stations when tourists are tired and disoriented.
Drivers wearing official-looking uniforms claim to be "government-approved" and charge 3-5x normal rates. They may have fake badges or ID cards.
Women with babies approach asking you to buy milk powder at a nearby shop (not cash). The shop is run by accomplices and charges 5-10x normal price.
