Sri Lanka: Shopping

Sri Lanka is the place where a lot of western clothes are made.  They have outlet stores in the capitol of Colombo that sells a lot of the excess merchandise at a discount of what you'd pay in the US.

They also, apparently, have all the ties from the 1980's that didn't sell:

My favorite purchases were those connected somehow to Sri Lanka, like tea herbs and anything elephant related:

Who wouldn't want elephant foot salt & pepper shakers and an elephant foot coffee mug?

I bought many of the containers of the cinnamon toothpicks to bring back to the US.  I should have tried one first:  While it is unquestionably cinnamon, it is also very bitter.
