Description
Editor's Note: Written as a letter to an imaginary correspondent from his overseas postings, the author wrote a series of such "letters" from a dozen of his assignments abroad. He pens this from an assignment to Colombo, Sri Lanka in 1986.--Ed. After six years in Washington we were posted to Sri Lanka and arrived at Katunayake Airport in the evening, after a long flight from Hong Kong via Singapore. The new international terminal was not (and is not yet) ready and even the best of airport terminals are a bit sad at night unless they are full of bustling crowds. This was not the case. The man I was replacing was there, however, so we loaded up the baggage and headed into Colombo--our new post and home.
