Wednesday was a holy day in Sri Lanka so there was no school. It was Diwali which many Tamils (originally from India) observe. The host teacher Indu and her husband took me to visit a tea estate and tea factory inland in the mountains. Sri Lankan tea (more commonly known as Ceylon tea) is very famous and it is an important export for the country. It was interesting to see the acres of tea bushes and how it is dried, fermented and crushed to make the tea we drink.
