Dili 2001 Hotel

... pensionato, che aveva aspettato tutta la vita per realizzare questo sogno, e si e' dovuto arrendere pure lui, tra lacrime e disperazione. No, non sono disperato, ne' tantomeno mi mettero' a piangere per non essere riuscito a farcela. Certo, un po' di amaro in bocca mi resta se penso a tutti i viaggi allucinanti di questi mesi, alla fatica, al sudore, alla pazienza, all'infinita' di autobus, treni, traghetti. Agli otto mesi, ai 45.000 chilometri, ai 2 continenti e ai 20 ...

... tried to sell me handmade crafts in the streets or in the markets. A pleasant surprise, as I expected something similar to the cities of Southeast Asia! As I was checking out, I met a young American tourist in my hotel. He was looking for other tourists, but had not succeeded. The country is abundant in prestine beaches (ideal for snorkeling and scuba-diving) as well as mountains for the more active tourists, making it an ideal place for nature-loving Aussies and ...

... border controls. There were no buses around so the options consited of spending the night in the town or heading down to the Border on the back of some Scooters. We Took the Bike option and before Mike could protest (He was actually stood there mulling over how me and him plus the driver and our bags where going to get on this small Bike) we were zipping off at breakneck toward east timor now mike really started to feel like Mr Palin Between the grunts ...

... groans of the potholes you could here shouting weee heee. All the way to the border you where reminded that only 2 or 3 years ago there was a serious war going here there were houses shot to pieces there was lots of graveyards but again the people where out waving us past with shouts of Hey Mista. On arrival at the border we had to report to all the correct people police and customs etc. I had really beleived that we would be given a hard time by the ...

... patek nebo zmenili taktiku. Coze jsem tu ty tri dny delala? o prohlidku Dilli jsem zrovna velky zajem nememla, takze to bylo jen o nakupovani. Navstivila jsem nejznamejsi bazary, kde se prodava temer vse, jak uz to tu byva. Nezajimavejsi byl ovsem trh s koreni, suchymi plody-orechy, rozinky,ryze. V jedne ulicce se obchodovalao- ve velkem jen s cili paprikami. Ty byli v megapytlech a strasne cpeli ve vzduchu ...

... Arvid climbed down into the gulch. Then people started to gather. He was able to untangle the cord and free the goat's neck just as its eyes rolled back and it died. A very disturbing pre-lunch affair. Lunch at the Pousade did not go much better. They had an extensive menu of Portuguese dishes. But they didn't have anything we selected from the menu. Finally the manager suggested their specials for the day: beef in mushroom sauce ...

... Some noble Australian newsmen tried to get the word out but were murdered by the Indonesian's. The shame was that Australia's government buried this. What the Aussies didn't know was that there were vast oil and natural gas reserves under the Timor Sea about 2/3s the way from Australia to East Timor. Now they are totally in favor of an independent East Timor, with its oil piped to Darwin. A group called the Fretilin were the good guys and fought a 24 year guerrilla war ...

We came to Dili on a visa-run, intending to spend as little time there as possible. We left begrudgingly as our East-Timorese visa expired and vowed to come back to this little country as soon as possible. Travel throughout Asia can often become tiresome, mainly because of touts and the 'same-same' -ness of all of the main tourist haunts. It can also be really difficult to meet genuine locals who wish to befriend you because of ...

... that could carry me around. As for the work that I hope to be doing it will mainly be with the education system, I think. The community has repeatedly mentioned that they want me to teach English in the schools, but I tell them I would rather teach the teachers English so that the kids can continue to learn while I am gone. And if they want me to work with students it will be as a science teacher or math or creative writing. The people ...

Kota Dili, kota yang terkenal sering mengalami kerusuhan tiap tahunnya, bahkan tiap bulan.<br><br>Bangun pagi dengan suasana yang sunyi senyap merupakan petunjuk bagi kami bahwa akan ada kerusuhan hari itu, rumah dibakar, mobil dibakar atau bahkan pengerusakan bangunan merupakan beberapa hal yang sangat mungkin terjadi.
