While watching TV i got another idea.Along the lines of Tour de France,
Tour of Broitain and now Spain, srilanka has a great potential in organising a
tour of Lanka We have excellent roads,unbelievable Scenic beauty in coastline,
hill country waterfalls etc
This will promote great tourism benefits and great benefits in controlling Diabetes. Cardiac illness etc Also expat children will love to visit.
I feel COMSAA can make the initiative especially in view of health benefits.
Maybe you might like to discuss in the next Comsaa meeting reg this project.

Bus
44 - written & directed by Chinese-American filmmaker Dayyan Eng in 2001,
is a short film starring
Chinese actress Gong Beibi and
Wu Chao. The film won awards at Venice Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival,
and was invited to Cannes Film Festival; the
first time a Chinese short film won in all three festivals' history.
Based
on a true story, Bus 44 takes place on the outskirts of a
small town and tells the story of a bus driver (Gong) and her passengers'
encounter with highway robbers. "Bus 44" carries a universal theme
that travels across all boundaries and societies, trespassing the dark side and
bright side of human behavior.
