Same metre a friend marked on night two — still free at 6:53 or already a stool farm on a new corner with wall — screenshots because inland data dies
Friend sent a pin. Third Kumbal listed 6:53. Hotel balconies look sold. We can stand the street. Not paying a pavement uncle for air. daypack only.

Do not treat a friend's metre as reserved. It is pavement. Come earlier than you think. Street is still free. Chairs on the pavement are a vendor habit, not a reserved street. Stand behind them or pick Dalada and ignore the chairs. Do not pay a pavement uncle for air.
Third night the crowd knows. a new corner with wall fills with stools. Slide ten metres, sit low, do not argue with a family who got there first.
We tried to reclaim a gap and looked rude. New corner, same street, no speech.
If anyone is shaky, a new corner with wall behind you beats a fight over last night's metre.
Asgiriya side is a dead angle some nights. Kinder with kids. Honest about backs and flags.
off the route toward Katukele pin after drums is walkable if bags are dumped. Do not meet there as a viewing stand. Too far.
We stood behind the chairs and still saw. Paying for air is how you start a mood.
