💚 斯里蘭卡 Eco-Resort 🌿 Saraii Village
( - English version below - )
首先要爬竹梯先到樹屋。第一層有張長櫈好岩坐低睇書休息。第二層先到房間同洗手間, 枱燈隔離就有節省用電既告示牌，洗手盤旁邊又有節約用水提示。另一張告示列明面對野生動物應有既守則，例如不要餵飼，不要喧嘩。除左床上有防蚊帳，仲貼心準備左當地製作既天然防蚊膏。另外，所有水樽都係玻璃同鋁蓋，循環再用。沒有冷氣但有風扇。不過沖涼冇熱水真係人生第一次！！最後我地用水壺煲水，1公升水兩份沖涼洗頭真係好慳水。其實斯里蘭卡經常會落雨都幾涼嫁。
房間並唔係完全封閉，每日由早到晚都係聽緊交響樂。總會聽到或見到松鼠係屋頂跑泥跑去，而且可以清楚聽到遠處既孔雀叫聲。訪客有雀仔、大黃蜂、貓貓同狗仔，但見過最有趣係巨型蜥蜴係我地廁所牆頂爬過...
餐廳選取當地既有機食材，減少運輸上既碳排放。我同室友係全素食者/有食物敏感，餐廳亦非常樂意為我地修改菜式，選擇唔算好多，但誠意滿分! 飲品當然係配上不鏽鋼飲管。
呢五晚都係幾有趣既體驗，融入大自然裡面同其他昆蟲動物一齊生活，學習平等相處，互相尊重🙏✨

💚 Eco-Resort in Sri Lanka X Saraii Village 🌿
First you need to climb the bamboo ladder up to the tree house. The first floor is a resting area with a long bench. The second floor is the suite. Once inside you see signs of "Save the electricity" next to the lamp, and "Save the water, every drop counts" by the bathroom sink. There is also a note with codes of conduct upon encounter with wild animals such as Do not feed and Do not make sudden loud noises. The bed is equipped with a mosquito net, and they have even prepared a locally handmade organic mosquito repellent cream. The water bottles in the room are made of glass with a metal lid and are reusable. There is no air con in the room but a big fan. To my surprise, they do not have hot water supply for shower. I ended up having to boil hot water using a kettle and shared it with my roommate - we used 1 litre of boiled water between us, definitely saved some water! It could get a bit chilly during the rainy days here in Sri Lanka.
The room is not completely closed to the outdoor. In fact, we have many visitors including wild birds, bees, cat and dogs, and squirrels are always running around on our roof. Perhaps the most surprising sight was to see a land monitor (a big lizard) climbing on top of our bathroom walls. Day and night it was a symphony of nature's music.
The restaurant sources from local organic produce, to lower carbon footprint during transportation. My friend and I have food allergy/ vegan dietary preference, and the staff have been so kind to discuss and modify the menu accordingly. Choices were limited but the efforts were very much appreciated. And of course, the drinks were served with steel straw.
The 5 nights we spent at Saraii Village had been a remarkable experience. It allowed us to feel more connected to our natural environment, while sharing our land harmoniously with other insects and animals 💖
