Colombo, Sri Lanka
This is looking the other way (south) from the hotel. With a population of about 650,000, Colombo is not a huge city compared to other Asian capitals. But it has a long history having been first settled by Arab Muslims in the 8th century, then by the Portuguese early in the 16th century followed by the Dutch from the middle of the 17th and the British at the end of the 18th.
