“Transtextuality” seems to be how a small text crosses over to becoming and inspiring anything else it can spawn or become, from a complete story to an essay like this.  So, since we have started with my text to you about an item of food, I will go on to build some trans-textuality unity and link this essay to the most expensive dessert in the world found in the country I chose to research for this class, Sri Lanka. 

While traveling our Grand Galaxy, this dessert called “Marry Me” is not to be missed at a mere price of $14,500 US dollars per serving, (which can fluctuate with the cost of the 80-carat aquamarine stone treasure it comes with, so check your mineral stock report before you go.)  It’s found at Wine3, a restaurant in the Fortress Resort and Spa in Galle. You can see from the picture there is a little stilt fisherman figure made from chocolate.  This has to be ordered with at least 2 days of notice due to the complexity of making him along with its studio-flared glass from a local place actually named “Glass Studio.” It has many decadent high end dessert ingredients and also includes a Dom Perignon champagne sauce with both gold and silver leaf. 

What surprises me about this country is that it has strong traditions and loyalties to Buddhism and certain colors, even down to the presentation of this dessert.  Yellow represents the sun and unity of the many ethnic groups.  This philosophy is one we should always adhere to, the superpower of helping us all get along with eachother, and as we travel, we should adhere to the motto:  “do unto others as you would like done to you.” 

My classmates and fellow guides Arthur, Ford, and the crew of the Heart of Gold, are curious about the Universe and always willing to explore and try new things.  We face many challenges in this class such as this essay, but we don’t lose hope and just keep writing.  At this Sri Lankan “Resaurant at the Edge of the Universe” we will have to use our imagination a tad. We are to believe that the jewel will give us luck, protection and riches of cash.  Blue is the color of the ocean and repeatedly used in this country to represent the fisherman, sky, the National Flower the Blue Water Lilly, its Sapphire mines, and “peace” although there has been way more political turmoil and current world events happening than I expected to find.  

The country has other colors with strong meanings but if I cover them now, you might not travel to my essay.  So I will leave you with some links if you wish to know more, but please don’t forget to bookmark my page, so you can return to explore more with my crew!
