Great Photos
Holly, you did a great impression thru your camera lenses. It took me thru a cruise into my own country, views that I missed completely!! We met before (in Metro Cafe), and I wish you all the best for your future, look forward to your visit again.

To Candy
No, tourists are no better than UNs. East Timor doesn't really need tourists or UNs to give it more rubbish and cultural shock... What it probably needs is some money to start its own industries, agriculture and fishery. It's actually very rich in all kinds of mineral resources, but just lacks the expertise to exploit them. I think Timorese can live happily without tourists ;D I am probably leaving for East Timor again next week...after my big presentation, of course. So won't have time to finish my last article. But surely I'll post new ones once I return to HK ;)

That's it??
East Timor is poorer than I thought. They need tourists for money and jobs rather than UN officials! So when do you have time to finish your unfinished article? I can't quite wait... And good luck for your next trip. :)

What a cool way to report on your travels. The people, despite the oppression they endure, are beautiful - your photos are awesome.

Holly, you've lost weight. Take care of yourself and Zoe. Your pictures remind of the Modern World module in Liberal Studies - that man is systematically destroying his own heritage through greed and self-centredness.

Very interesting
A very interesting article on a very sad place in the world. The poor people there certainly deserve better.
