How to Have a Small yet Awesome BBQ in Badulla

• Buy small portable BBQ grill from Cargills
• Buy sausages, bread, chili sauce, drinks and charcoal
• Steal a butter knife from the hotel you are staying in
• Get kerosene oil to light the fire
• Park vehicle on a dark hairpin bend in Badulla, preferably with a beer pub nearby
• Get beer
• Go to a corner of the hairpin bend and set up the grill
• Open up the hood of the vehicle and keep sausages on the engine to defrost
• Get the iPod dock and put on some good music
• Start the fire
• Watch it burn and grin to yourself
• Let two of your friends do the dirty work of BBQing and have a chat with the rest while you wait for the food to be ready
• Spread chili sauce on a slice of bread, put sausages and make a sandwich
• Eat it
• Dance on the road while waiting for more food, but make sure to move away when you see an oncoming vehicle
• Stop caring about the slight drizzle that started to fall
• Feel good about life
• Get high on the moment
• Stare back at the people passing you and staring at you as if you came from another world
• Eat all the sausages, including the ones you accidently dropped on the ground
• Forget to get tissue, so use the leaves on trees or a hanky or even your own t-shirt to wipe your hands
• If leaves don’t do the job / you don’t have a hanky / don’t want to mess up your t-shirt, covertly use the back of your friend’s t-shirt to wipe your hands
• Smile at him as if nothing’s wrong
• Talk about what a good investment the portable grill was
• After all is done, clean everything and pack up to leave
• Forget to take the BBQ grill which is a good investment and leave it on the road side
• Remember that you left it behind when you come to Arugam Bay the next day and prepare to have a BBQ
