One of the world’s largest tea

producers, Sri Lanka has over

8500 sq miles (22,000 sq km)

of land under tea cultivation, yielding

about 300,000 tons (tonnes) a year,

and accounting for around 10

percent of global production.

At 7:58 am on December 26, 2004, an earthquake

just off the coast of Sumatra measuring 9.1 on the

Richter scale triggered a massive and devastating

Tsunami that advanced across the Indian Ocean,

killing over 200,000 people and leaving millions

homeless in eleven countries.

The Indian cobra is often displayed

by snake charmers. The cobras

appear to respond to the music

played by the charmer, but, like

all snakes, they are deaf and

only follow the movements of

the charmer.
