Oh Snap, Colombo

Snapchat’s Live story made its way to Colombo two days ago and it was equal parts exciting and disappointing. Since they announced their arrival the day before, the local twitter sphere started picking up, not without a few conspiracies though.

After everyone figured out how geo-tagging worked, plenty of people went out of their way to send in some classic stories, most of which didn’t actually make it to the official Story. We managed to get a hold of the entire Story that did make it.

Throughout the day, the story had its moments – some cringe worthy, some hilarious, with a lot of mixed opinions by the end.

Do you think the Live Story does justice to all that we think is ‘Colombo life?’ Let us know, till then we’re going to enjoy some evening coffee in nature, while looking for the mythical Colombo flag.
