行き先について: Bentota is a coastal town in Sri Lanka, located in the Galle District of the Southern Province, governed by an Urban Council. It is approximately 65 kilometers south of Colombo and 56 kilometers north of Galle. Bentota is situated on the southern bank of the Bentota River mouth, at an elevation of 3 meters above sea level. The name of the town is derived from a mythical story which claims a demon named 'Bem' ruled the tota or river bank.

行き先について: Colombo, situated on the banks of the Kelani River and stretching along the coast with views of the Indian Ocean, is the largest city and the financial and commercial hub of Sri Lanka. While Colombo is often regarded as the country's capital, the official administrative capital is Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, a suburb located to the east of Colombo. The streets of Galle Fort are rich with the city's colonial heritage, showcasing the influences of the Portuguese, British, and Dutch who left their mark here. To delve deeper into the Dutch era in Colombo, a visit to The Dutch Period Museum is recommended. The city presents a captivating mix of cultures and religions, with mosques, churches, and temples scattered throughout. The Gangaramaya Temple is the most renowned Buddhist place of worship in Colombo, featuring a museum that houses an extensive collection of Buddhist relics from around the globe. The Sri Kailawasanathar Swami Devasthanam Kovil Hindu temple is a vibrant and ornate temple that is well worth a visit. The Wolvendaal Church, constructed by Dutch settlers, is an impressive building and a must-see in Colombo. Colombo is often bypassed by tourists who visit the country for its beaches, but the city is the most vibrant place in Sri Lanka, offering high-end shopping, a lively nightlife, delicious restaurants, and intriguing historical sites.
