A view of Kew Street on Slave Island, Colombo, Sri Lanka, where the intricately carved Arullmigu Sivasubramania Swami Kovil,  a Hindu temple, was built more than 125 years ago to honor Lord Muguran, god of religion and yoga. The distinctively decorated 80-foot tower is flanked by smaller clock towers. The temple remains an active place of worship.

I am not really interested in the story of slavery, in fact, I despise the entire concept of it. In my opinion, if we keep on telling the next generations, stories about them, then they might emulate it. I really hope that the concept of slavery ends with our generation. While I do realize that we are still slaving away up to this day, that is above the issue. Slavery is not something that I would wish on any person.

    ​
    I'm a retired journalist from Hawaii who tired quickly of retirement and hit the road as a slow, solo world traveler in August 2016. I've spent time in 20 countries on four continents. Currently I'm in sunny Merida, Mexico, waiting out developments in the coronavirus crisis before moving on. Meanwhile, learn more about me and my travels at Nomadic Matt, and  Expat Focus,  and in a great story by veteran Borneo newsman and prolific author James Ritchie,  about our memorable  meeting in Malaysia,  A  Confluence of Adventure Writers .
