I'm common as muck and spent £150 to try a Michelin star restaurant

I’ve been considering a vacation in Sri Lanka for the same reason (plus the history!).

I’m like “is the smart or crazy?” And the US embassy is advising people to avoid travel because of terrorism.

And I’m still not sure if it’s smart or crazy, but my wife says “no fucking way” and she’s smarter than I am so she’s probably right.

Sri Lanka has had terrorist attacks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Sri_Lanka_Easter_bombings but since it was conducted by ISIS inspired/supported terrorists. It was a one off event though.

US travel advisory lists terrorism as one of the risk factors for Sri Lanka https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/... but it does the same for Germany https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/... In fact Sri Lanka is at Level 3 (Reconsider Travel) and Germany is at Level 4 - Do not travel! The level difference is due to Covid though

Note that some of the food served in Germany counts as an act of terrorism, though.
