True enough that this place is a real one-stop centre offering not only souvenirs such as t-shirts, fridge magnets but also normal items that we can usually find in a departmental store. I nearly bought a pair of branded jeans but managed to control myself and ended up buying loads of fridge magnets, t-shirts and flavoured-tea (Dilmah) for souvenirs.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the food court just outside ODEL has a halal stall selling awesome food.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v37\/azuan1880\/blogs\/2013\/shopcolombo\/12_zpsbdcf7124.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka is also famous for its gems but buying it is always a challenge.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/img.photobucket.com\/albums\/v37\/azuan1880\/blogs\/2013\/shopcolombo\/13_zps68f30cbc.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Which one is the original one?

We were glad that we made the decisions to spend a night in Colombo although we did not had a chance to explore its tourist attractions as most museums (including the air force museum!) closes on public holiday.
