Timor Leste!
I finally made it to Timor Leste (East Timor)! I took a 13 hour mini bus ride from Kupang in West Timor to the capitol city of Dili… This sure is a strange place, but look past the burntout buildings and U.N. camps and there are lots of interesting people to talk to and beautiful things to see…. On the way from the border I saw a pickup truck labeld “Task Force” carrying about 8 Timorese holding shotguns! It’s hard to imagine a country that is only six years old and it lacks a lot of things that I have taken for granted in Indonesia and the rest of asia (not a 7 eleven in sight!) I will upload pictures the next time I don’t have to pay 6 USD an hour for internet!!!!!
