... quell'aereo. Una lacrima gia' mi chiede di uscire e di bagnarmi il viso; no, non perche' sto per prendere un aereo, ma perche' sto per lasciare l'Asia dopo tutto questo tempo. Quando saliro' su quelle scalette la lascero' libera di toccare questa terra, un piccolo segno per ringraziare questo continente per tutto quello che mi ha dato, per quanto mi ha cambiato in questi otto mesi. Un continente dove tutto e' possibile; un continente complesso, straordinario, immenso, caotico ...

We started a new program in Timor-Leste, in the area of rural water supply and sanitation. The purpose of this program is to help build the capacity of the Timor-Leste government in the provision of water supply and sanitation services. The team will be working with the Ministry of Health (which is responsible for WSS) and other donors in all districts. This was my first visit to the country which has gone through great civil unrest and violence over the last 18 ...

Destination 176: km94'734 Die Reise and die Grenze und d** Grenzueb**tritt selbst war so (offensichtlich) gefahrlos wie einfach. Auch wenn man beim v**lassen Indonesiens beim Milita**- Ob**st vorsprechen muss (wohl strategisch) gabs keine Probleme. Das Highlight war wohl die sehr sympatische Einreise nach East Timor, wo Fred und ich dem Zoll- Inspektor wie einem unwissenden Lehrling Zeile fu** Zeile dikti**en mussten, was ** im ...

Heute, Montag dem 23.7., haette die Faehre gemaess der Angestellten des Tourist Information Centers in Ende (sie hatten mit der Betreiberfirma der Faehre ASDP telefoniert und die SOLLTEN es doch wissen) von Larantuka (Flores) nach Kupang (West Timor) fahren sollen - doch, oh welch Ueberraschung, von Faehre weit und breit keine Spur!

Jan. 19, 2007 We left early this morning with Claudia and our driver for a day trip to East Timor's second largest city Baucau. On the way we stopped in just about every village. Metinaro had an interesting market where we bought some strings of goat meat jerky which had been hung up for the flies to walk over. These might have been the cause of Irina's first case of tourist stomach this evening. Or it could have been the dried ...

Jan. 18, 2007 Things aren't all bad in Dili. There are some good restaurants for instance. One of our favorites is the City Café, not far from our hotel and near the place where we saw the rock throwing gangs in the street. Seafood is of course plentiful here. There's an open air fish market directly across the road from the Hotel Torismo. You can watch the fishermen bringing in their catch. We found a nice Malaysian restaurant and hotel called the Ocean ...

We arrived in Alor August 2nd following a good sail through some oil fields however we arrived on dark and we had some tense moments motoring the Alor Channel to the harbour as it was badly lit, had smoke haze around, and there was quite a few fishing platforms made out of bamboo that dotted the channel - these structures would not come up on radar and additionally were never lit and you never saw them until you were virtually on top of them. We were very ...
