So for our honeymoon, Diesel and I decided we wanted to go to secluded Sri Lanka. The problem with September, when we'll be on our honeymoon, is the weather around the world. It'll eithe be too cool, too muggy, etc.
Sri Lanka and southern India seemed both exotic enough and somewhere where neither of us have been and could explore together.
There is one little problem with Sri Lanka, however: there is a civil war going on. This has been the case for years, and I am still getting versed on why the government and Tamil rebels just won't get along. Diesel and I have been following the news to see if there is any improvement. Here's what we know:
1) The war is, as said, a civil war, and foreigners have not been the target of any attacks
2) The war is restricted to the northern part of the country
However, here is what we also know:
1) Last month, some foreigners were killed by landmines in the northern part of the country, while chasing elephants
2) 2 weeks ago, a bus full of innocent civilians was bombed in norther Sri Lanka
That said, we are now still determining if our chances of survival is great enough to make this exotic trip worth our time...and our lives.

I guess my advice would be, know what separates the north part of the country from the south part of the country, and never venture above that parallel. Oh, and of course, always wear sunscreen...
Yes I concur with David, cause there STILL are some PW's that STILL think North Korea and South Korea is the same one country...
