Potemkin City, with a difference: A Guide to Colombo for CHOGM 2013
Your Excellency, Distinguished Delegate, Dear Visitor,
Ayubowan! Vanakkam! Welcome to Colombo!
You may have heard of how General Potemkin primed Crimea for the pleasure of Catherine the Great and her foreign ambassadors on their southern trip in 1787. Likewise, our own Potemkin, Mr. Gotabhaya Rajapakse, presidential sibling and Secretary Defence and Urban Development, has personally overseen the makeover of Colombo for your pleasure. And we do hope you will enjoy it.
