Island cooking leans heavily on spice, with rice and curry, freshly caught seafood and tropical fruit forming the backbone of most meals. International flights serve the country, with domestic transport by road and rail. Sinhala and Tamil carry everyday conversation, while English is understood in most places visitors tend to go.
