Cooking across the island leans on spice, with rice and curry, fresh seafood and tropical fruit appearing regularly. Domestic transport runs by road and rail, and international flights serve the island. Sinhala and Tamil are the main languages, with English widely used, so a few basic phrases help with daily interactions.
