Temple of the Tooth looks packed on Instagram. Same landscape, less circus. Where do people actually go instead?

Temple, kovil, mosque: cover shoulders and knees. Temple of the Tooth street is mixed. Inside is not. Shawl in the bag. Hats off, shoes on the rack.

A cheap wrap saved us twice. Nobody cared on the beach. They cared at the door.

If you are tired, stay near the bus stand or town centre in Temple of the Tooth and skip the extra viewpoint. Pull cash in Colombo, Kandy, or Galle first. Cards are a maybe, not a plan.
