Looking for a queer/ally roommate

Hi, I myself am queer and currently live in a rental with room+bathroom. But I want to move to an annex with living space, a kitchenette, separate utilities (so that I can fix an AC) and a damn place to dry clothes in the humud hell of Colombo. I can afford an annex by myself, but it would be far more economical to go for a two bedroom annex and share the cost rather than going for a one bedroom annex.

However, I do not want to live with a non-queer or a non-ally person either cuz then I'll have to hide my true self even within my own place. Hence this post...

Let me know if you have place and wanna split with me or you also are looking to join the forces.

My preference is around Nawala or along the 176 route but would go for a second bus route which cross onto 176 if it is a good place. 😌

Are there any air conditioned library spaces in Colombo?

Hi, as the title says basically. Am renting a place in Colombo for work and wanna spend the weekends or in-middle-of-the-week holidays at a library. But given the heat, humidity and dust, a non-AC space seems too uncomfortable.

Only the British Council comes to mind, but it's location is a bit inconvenient for me to travel to. Looking for other options to see whether there is one closer.

TIA! 😌

A date change request blame game

Hi, I checked-in to a hotel and had a change of plans. Originally intended to stay here for multiple days, now it is only one night. Talked with the owner (not just the management, the owner himself cuz it is a family run place) and they agreed to the earlier check-out, but asked us to either cancel of modify from our side on bookingdotcom.

I tried cancelling but the website did not allow us to (photo attached). So I tried changing the check-out date and informed the owner via whatsapp that I went ahead with a date change cuz the cancellation was denied on the platform.

Come morning I see that website saying that the date change is denied by the property (website does not allow screenshots of this page for some reason). I then called the owner and he says it is denied by the website it self and he did not do anything.

However he also added that we'll have to pay the full price if that is so cuz the bookings for the hotel is frozen since we have already arrived. That makes perfect sense. My question is whether it is truely the website not allowing to change the dates and blaming it on the owner or whether the owner is lying.

For info: the place does accept free cancellations until 6pm of the day of check-in.

Update: went to see the owner in person as he lives in a house at the adjacent land. I requested a date change again through the web app and he accepted the change in front of me. But it still shows as declined by the properly!

So in essence, Booking(dot)com is a giant ass hole of a company as other have said already.

Hi, a few Japanese friends are arriving in SL and they are interested in local cuisine. Any recommendations for a place with a good selection of curries and other stuff in Galle? Not necessarily cheap, but the price should justify the cleanliness, vibe, presentation and taste.

Any and all input is welcome. Thank You!
