In the past, we had always telephoned known drivers when wanting to ride into Minuwangoda. Well, in the really old days, we used to walk down to the junction and catch a bus. Now, I just open a phone app and voila, someone's waiting at the gate! Today, our trips cost SR 103 to go and SR 153 to return and they were automatically charged on one of our no-foreign-transaction-fee credit cards.
Jay had a small shopping list. The main reason, in my mind, for today's trip was for a beer run. The bottles are returned for refilling, so they need to be empty in order to buy beer again. It's not a huge problem as nowadays the beer sold in cans is the same price. So, "Six Lion Lagers in the big 625ml bottles and give me three cans of 8.8% Lion Stout in the small cans of 325ml, please."
