The "city of peace" to be
... turned out I was the next one to go, but the officer said there would be no more people allowed in. After a few attempts and lots of begging, I was finally submitted to the waiting hall, and my request was processed 10 minutes before the office closed. They said they weren't sure if I could be issued a 60 day visa, as this was quite unusual. However, I was lucky to be able to submit - the Australian guy only managed to get into the waiting hall on his 3rd attempt!

Crocodile Dundili
... sure whether that was foremost in Steve's mind when he went swimming with one on Friday afternoon. Direct from the horse's mouth, Steve Chung, a thoracic surgeon here was swimming in the sea just off Dili when he noticed the 1.5m croc somewhere nearby. Suddenly, the large crowd on the beach, gesticulating at him made far more sense – he'd swum here before and a malae (foreigner) in the sea usually only attracted 2 or 3 onlookers. As ...
