Two of my colleagues went down to Colombo port on the weekend to see the open day for the new deep water container port. The golf day we went to was put on by the financers of the port.
So the site is still a construction zone, it's not finished yet, and the dredgers are still working in the harbour (yes there are people in the water right next to the dredger!). But that apparently didn't stop literally thousands of people swarming all over the site, and having picnics . The line of traffic driving out along the new breakwater was about 3km long each way. Once you were in, as Dave was, you were in! OHS laws are clearly non existent in this country. But it looks like a jolly day was had by all.
