Pure Ceylon tea is probably not the cheapest thing in Sri Lanka, or elsewhere as well, but it’s kind of synonym for this country. Speaking of curiosities, another one is gemstones. In Sri Lanka, you can find a variety of these precious stones. And they are not cheap, either, especially if you buy a handful of cut glass instead of real glinting gems! But, what is cheap then? Everything else! That’s why Sri Lanka is on the list of cheapest countries to live in the world.
