I'm not sure I agree with the 10 most dangerous destinations tag but I guess I'm biased :) If you can figure out how to cross the road safely in Colombo, you've mastered an essential survival skill :) Darwin: Heh. I hadn't heard the Bob-slaying thing before. *applause*. Bad taste, meh. Woot. Summer holiday! rastiadu: Au contraire, it might well be that ticket prices go up as a result because insurers will demand higher premiums for flying into the war torn battleground that is Colombo *snort* Not to mention the fact that if more carriers pull out in the short term, getting a ticket on fairly short notice might prove problematic.

And possibly make air travel semi-affordable again? Is it wrong that I think the upside to this is that ticket prices will fall? And possibly make air travel semi-affordable again?

In other news, following the early exit of the Pakistani team from the WC, the new national sport has become bob-slaying (very bad taste I know, but it IS funny!)

This is going to ruin tourism. According to some people Sri Lanka is already on the "top 10 most dangerous destinations" http://www.gadling.com/2007/03/22/the-worlds-most-dangerous-destinations-for-2007/ So, after this sort of attacks things will definitely get worse.
