Wonders<br />
The country is a major tea exporter, a booming tourist attraction<br />
with ancient Buddhist stupas and majestic Hindu temples and<br />
home to a diverse community. In this issue of Convergence,<br />
we are placing our travel spotlight on Sri Lanka.<br />
A country that has been steadily growing and building itself from a civil<br />
war that ended in 2009, Sri Lanka should definitely be on any traveller's<br />
list. From the colder regions in Nuwara Eliya to the simpler farming towns<br />
in Jaffna to the coastal towns in Galle, the country offers something<br />
sweet, spicy or savoury that will resonate with a variety of taste buds.<br />
Step inside the land of Lanka on page 96!<br />
We would also like to take the opportunity to wish all Hindu readers<br />
an auspicious and blessed Happy Deepavali! The Festival of Lights falls<br />
on October 18 worldwide and is often celebrated with sugary sweets,<br />
fireworks and new clothing materials. Be a part of the celebration by<br />
being in the know of the culture's sweet delicacies and drop by a store<br />
or two here to satiate those sugar cravings! Read our list of 10 top Indian<br />
desserts on page 59 now!<br />
If you're looking for travel alternatives, soak in the sights at Southeast<br />
Asia's 'Pearl of the Orient' – Manila or try Russian beet soup while<br />
exploring Moscow! Do not forget to purchase the country's famed<br />
Matryoshka dolls as souvenirs too.<br />
