A Colombo city I saw from the top of a huge building

 

When I was in grade 5 we went on a tour of the city of Colombo. Almost all the students of the year five class came for the trip. Our teachers were also with us. 

We arrived in Colombo around 9 O' clock in the morning. We had our breakfast at the Vihara Maha Devi Park and then went to see the Bank of Ceylon building. As we were getting down from the bus in front of the bank building there was a gentleman came towards us. He was an Executive in that bank. This gentleman welcomed us cordially and took us to the uppest storey of the building. It was the first time that I went to the top of very high building. All the students were slient. We looked down the very top of the Bank building.

We saw the entire city of colombo clearly. What a beautiful city it was! The marvellous sea could be seen from one side. We saw the Cheitya in the Harbour. The Galle Roade was full of vehicles. We saw a number of ships anchored in the harbour. Some of them were giant ships which had come from foreign countries. I tried to count the number of huge buildings in the city. But I failed as the number of buildings were unlimited. A large number of commuters were walking along the Galle Road and the other cross roads.

I carefully listened to the teacher who was explaining various things to us. He told us how and why those buildings were built. Many of those buildings were either government departments of Corporations and other state institutions. This was the first time I saw a wounder full sight like this. I can't never forget  that tour. We really enjoyed on that day.
