Tips and Advice on Sri Lanka from Your Fellow Danish Expats
Obviously, expat life in Sri Lanka goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Danes is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Sri Lankan mentality and way of life. Danes in Sri Lanka are a part of our community, calling cities such as Galle, Kandy, Colombo, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Danes in Colombo, for example.

It was fun to find other cricket fans among the expats around here and watch some matches at a Colombo club together.
