The Anchorage Register: Kotahena
Kotahena looks like just another Colombo neighbourhood until you start reading it properly. Restoration workers at an old Dutch church uncover a water-damaged harbour register that logs no cargo. Instead it records what came ashore here and never left: faiths, families, a flag, a recipe. For curious adults who want real history, not a postcard version, this multi-faith, maritime corner of Colombo rewards close attention with stories almost nobody else has bothered to tell.

Colombo's stories found me on walks with my mother in her last years. They were hidden in plain sight - in our own neighbourhood. I've been exploring and uncovering them across different neighbourhoods of this fascinating city ever since. Welcome to Colombo Untold.
