The corner where flag-bearers bunch before the turn: Queen's-side quote versus standing the same facade on the last Kumbal (6:28 table) — feet or a window onto a wall
Saturday 22 Aug, Kandy, last Kumbal before Randoli. Listed 6:28 PM. We are grandmother flies CMB tomorrow afternoon. Pin in mind: the corner where flag-bearers bunch before the turn. Queen's-side quote versus standing the same facade. Street if we can. No municipal ticket I will invent. Water already in the bag.

Street is free. A Queen's-side or hotel ledge is a hotel package, not a municipal ticket. Do not invent an official seating fee. With an elder I would pay a ledge; without, I would stand the corner where flag-bearers bunch before the turn and keep the money for an AC room. 5th Kumbal table 6:28 PM on Saturday 22 Aug is when they start leaving the Maligawa, not when the tusker fills the pin. Kumbal is a real night, not a failed Randoli. Saturday 22 Aug is the last Kumbal; Randoli nights follow after this.
Locals stay where they can stand. Pride argues with a pole and then buys a plaster.
We peeled before the return. The crush after the last drummers is when people get stupid. Named the fare.
