The writer for Culture Shock! Sri Lanka appeared to be very familiar with the country. I am married to a Sinhalese and before we traveled to the country for my first visit, I shared selections from the book with my husband. He was pleasantly surprised that the information was fairly accurate. I referred to the book often during my travels and found it very helpful and right on point.

This guide is better than most. Lots of useful information about cultural differences. It does not contain much tourist information though so it is best used together with a more detailed guide.

Unfortunately I read this book after living in the country for 20 months. I found all of the information contained in the book well written, accurate and very useful. My only regret was that I did not read this before coming here as it would have made the 'culture shock' more understandable.
