My country

Our staple food is rice. There are several communities in my country. They are the Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and Burghers. The population of Sri Lanka is about 19 million. Our main imports are food, clothes and machinery. Our main exports are tea, rubber and coconut. Our country became a republic in 1972. We gained Independence in 1948. Now we are a free nation. Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte is the capital of Sri Lanka. Our commercial capital is Colombo. Piduruthalagala is the highest mountain and Mahaweli is the longest river. We have a tropical climate. Sri Lanka is famous throughout the world as a tourist paradise. There are many tourist attractions here. Some of them are waterfalls, ancient ruins, sanctuaries, sandy beaches and botanical gardens.
