■ COLOMBO, SRI LANKA: Four years ago I visited Pettah market in Colombo for the first time. The market is huge, incredibly cheap and have all kinds of fake western brands on offer. Shoes, bags, polo shirts, Levi's jeans, adidas shoes... you name it, they sell it.

Since it had been so long since I filmed here, I thought it was about time your favorite German embarked on another shopping spree to hone his bargaining skills.

Too often though in my market videos I wander around and simply buy random stuff without any sense or purpose. Well not today.

My goal for this shopping journey was to spend exactly $100 US and see just how many things I could get before setting off towards the railway tracks to give everything away to someone who deserves it.

Given how cheap this market truly is... it actually turned into quite the struggle to spend it all.

    Harald is like the wind. He blows in without warning and shakes things up. Without question the best YouTube travel vlogger. They all try to copy his style. Keep em coming brother.

    As a Sri lankan who lives in the UK, It was very nice as usual to see you helping people and local business men in my home country. Although I think the 2 men who took the bag from you(including the lottery tickets) not sure if they will share them with others. But nice video Harald. All the best 😎✌️
  • No doubt, Harald to me is the most kind hearted vlogger who records people to know about their life style and helps them how much he can. Salute to Harald.👏

  • Minister of foreign affairs is back in sri Lanka ❤ Much love Harald
  • Harald every time you call yourself a German, it cracks me up, great going as always and your humor is unmatched.

    Harald! This video was enjoyable, fun and at times brought tears to my eyes when you helped the lady at the lottery stall. People of Sri Lanka will truly appreciate your visits and the warmth and kindness you bring with you. Wishing you safe travels and many more fun adventures! Please find RAJA too! 🇨🇦❤️👍🏻🇱🇰
  • Harald is more Sri Lankan than any Sri Lankan , he has mastered the art of bargaining. Love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • the look the woman gives at 9:45 when he says he has a job and it's making videos, is truly priceless

    I do miss the travel videos you use to make in historical and beautiful places. As I am older now and can no longer visit far away places I found them so interesting. I do however still watch and admire your good deeds for less fortunate people in this world.
  • As a fellow Chinaman, I found this video very informative!
