My Sri Lankan Kitchen Be the first to write a review Take a look inside Serendip takes us on a rich and rewarding journey through Sri Lanka’s traditional foods, its family-oriented culture and its colourful approach to life.

Born in London to an Austrian mother and Sri Lankan father, acclaimed chef Peter Kuruvita spent much of his childhood in Sri Lanka acquiring idyllic memories of family, fun and happy hours spent in the kitchen with his grandmother.
His teenage years in Australia led to a career as a chef that has taken him from Sydney to prestigious restaurants in London, the USA, Fiji, Lord Howe and Hayman Islands, Bali and back to Sydney’s impressive Flying Fish restaurant.

Well it got the required number of votes to be reviewed by LEGO, but was promptly shot down due to the movie's age-inappropriate subject material. Per the party poopers: Listen LEGO: sometimes you need to consider another core target audience: namely, the parents paying for all your playsets. I don't know how many LEGO sets are bought entirely with allowance money, but my guess is NOT ENOUGH.
I want you to remember that the next time you pull a stunt like this. I'm sorry, but I feel like I have no other choice but to only buy GW Jr. off-brand LEGO blocks from now on. I SAID KEEP EATING THEM, THEY'RE JUST AS GOOD. Thanks to Mark, who eats all toys especially the ones for ages 5 and over because that's the really good stuff. Cat Beating On Automatic Feeder To Score Extra Food SCRAMBLED: 'Eggless' Chicken Born In Sri LankaMATARA, Sri Lanka, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- Villagers and wildlife officials in Sri Lanka helped rescue a massive 17-foot crocodile that had become stuck in a canal. The crocodile had become stuck in a canal leading out of the Nilwala river, and was hoisted out and captured in Matura, Sri Lanka, according to the BBC. Local media said the crocodile weighed about a ton and had become stuck in the canal while searching for food when heavy rains caused the water to rise, NBC News reported. Police worked with local villagers to hoist the giant crocodile and released it back into the river without injury.

The government of the island nation has just announced a partnership with Google that will bring affordable high-speed internet access to every inch of the country using the company's Project Loon balloons. Project Loon wouldn't really be at home anywhere other than the Google X lab, the company's secretive research arm from which all manner of left-field ideas have emerged, including glucose-monitoring contact lenses, delivery drones, Lego-like displays and a little venture known as Google Glass.
It's not always easy to tell how serious Google is about some of these ambitious concepts, but it seems determined to make Project Loon a reality. The company's vision is for a network of balloons floating in the stratosphere at around 20 km (12.4 mi) above the Earth's surface. The balloons are equipped with solar panels and carry a box of electronics and communications gear underneath that provides LTE internet connectivity to an area on the ground around 40 km (25 mi) in diameter. The announcement by the Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry this week of the partnership with Google will see Sri Lanka, which boasts an area of 65,610 sq km (25,332 sq mi), become the first country in the world to boast universal internet access via the high altitude balloons. Deployment of the balloons is set to begin in the coming months, with the launches expected to be completed by March, 2016. Source: Sri Lankan GovernmentSince, probably, the important part of the wall is its symbolic value the President could have one to look at, placed directly at his desk, for less than 20 USD.
He could, of course, also choose to build a bridge, or a road, or a harbour, or an airport, or a school, or a sports stadium, or a research centre. Built in LEGO(c) they would not cost more. The difference being, however, that these projects would actually have profitability attached to them if they became reality.Not so for the wall, that project is a cost with hardly any financial return.My answer will be flawed. I was unable to find statistics on the thickness of the wall, so I will just say a generic two feet, comparable to the Berlin Wall, another “great wall.”Currently, the “Secure Fence Act” is calling for 700 miles of fence, at 20 feet in height.Donald Trump's controversial border wall could cost upwards of $15 billionSo, if we find the volume of this wall we get: 700(5280)*20*2 = 147,840,00 feet^3Then using the 2x4 brick as the standard material, with a volume of 0.025 feet^3, we divide, getting 5,913,600,000 bricks.While you can get them for cheaper, Lego sells these bricks individually at $.30, making this cost $1,774,080,000.
