My country
September 18th, 2009
My country is Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is our island home. It lies in the Indian Ocean to the South of India. It is 432 kilometres from north to south, and 224 kilometers from east to west. The country is divided in to nine provinces. Each Province has its own Capital. Sri Jayawardhanapura kotte is the capital of Sri Lanka and Colombo is the chief port. The president lives in Colombo. The international air port is at Katunayaka In ancient times, Sri Lanka was ruled by our own kings. They ruled for the most part at Anuradhapura. They build wonderful thanks pagodhas and viharas. The first Sinhalese king of Sri Lanka was vijaya. He came from India. The last king of Sri Lanka was Sri Vickrema Rajasingha who ruled at Kandy.Our country is very beautiful. I dearly love our mother country.
