I am going to Colombo, Sri Lanka very soon. Is there any gamer there? I know that lonelyplanet is the best site to get info about the city, still I want an opinion from another local gamer.

Not every Sri Lankan...
Sri Lanka is in what you call and economic and technological boom after a war against terrorism, where more and more investors are moving in to Sri Lanka... hence more money = more availability of technology = more gamers

Listen up !.
Sri Lanka isn't actually poor. Half of all its money is in offshore bank accounts and no one likes to pay taxes.
Hard Life ? Seriously ? We have official Lamborghini dealerships here. Its turning out to be a paradise for super car racing. And pretty much every steam gamer i know has at least a $400 worth account.

I am not from there, but I went on Sri Lanka on holidays for 2.5 weeks.
I have met one gamer in Colombo, can't remember his name anymore, but he is not that rich, uses a old windows XP computer and only buys very cheap games of 2002 and stuff that are on massive discount. This is because he is from the middle class in Sri Lanka and they usually have more important stuff to spent money on than games.

Planning to go to Colombo. What are the places I should visit and which cuisine shall I try? Note that I don't like anything too spicy or coconut oil. Forgive me if I'm being a stereotype.

If its a matter of preference and not something like an allergy, I would suggest you actually try some of the local fare before dismissing two of the core ingredients of their cuisine. Due to a lot of tourism now, vendors offer watered-down curries better suited for foreign palates.
