Dili Tais Market does not only sell Tais and Timor-Leste t-shirts, it also sells variety of handmade accessories and carved wooden statues.

Tais Market is located in Dili Timor-Leste and this place is amazing! I would definitely recommend for tourists to go visit if they are looking for to buy Timor-Leste traditional souvenirs.  

NOTE: Tais is a traditional hand woven cloth from Timor-Leste.

Nu Bau Waterfall at Oefoko, Oecussi, Timor-Leste.

NOTE: My family and I had to do hiking for around 45 minutes to see this beautiful waterfall. It was worth it! :)

My name is Danira, I’m Timorese and I love taking pictures. I’m blogging about my country, Timor-Leste, because it is a new and beautiful country that I believe there are still many people who have not yet heard about it. Therefore, as a Timorese I would like to promote my country through the amazing pictures that I took and posted on this blog.  I hope you all like it and enjoy! :)

Fishing is also part of people make living in Timor-Leste. Usually the fishermen go fishing in the morning and people would go meet them in order to buy fresh fish.

Timor-leste has so many traditional markets, whether in the city or in the districts. These pictures I took from one of the traditional markets in OECUSSI (one of the 13 districts of Timor-Leste). 

The word ‘OECUSSI’ is written in Baikeno (it is one of the Timor-Leste 35 dialects and commonly spoken by people in Oecussi). ‘Oe-’ means water and ‘-cussi’ means jar.
