First impressions of Timor-Leste

In February 2024 I moved from New Zealand to Dili, the capital of Timor-Leste. I was there with my partner volunteering at local NGOs through Volunteer Service Abroad, a New Zealand organisation that does amazing work in the Pacific and Timor-Leste. Moving from the 32nd richest country in the world, to the 35th poorest, with a completely different climate and culture was quite an…

Exploring Atauro: A Hidden Gem

When I first set foot on the breathtaking island of Atauro, located in the captivating country of Timor-Leste, I felt an overwhelming sense of excitement and curiosity.This hidden gem offers a unique blend of untouched natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and a sense of adventure that is truly unparalleled. As a passionate traveler and adventurer, I knew I had stumbled upon a place that would forever leave its mark on my soul.

Getting there and the Best Time to Visit:

Atauro is nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Timor Sea, just a short boat ride away from Dili, the capital of Timor-Leste. Launching from Dili, the boat ride gives you a chance to marvel at the deep blue of the Timor Sea, with Atauro Island slowly growing larger on the horizon. The island enjoys a tropical climate, with warm temperatures throughout the year. The best time to visit is during the dry season, which typically spans from May to October. This period offers sunny days, calm seas, and optimal conditions for exploring the island's underwater wonders. However, the wet season (November to April) brings lush greenery, dramatic waterfalls, and the opportunity to witness the raw power of nature.

Where to Stay:

Accommodation options in Atauro range from rustic beachside bungalows to eco-friendly resorts. For a truly immersive experience, I highly recommend staying at one of the local guesthouses or homestays. These establishments provide an authentic glimpse into the island's culture and traditions, while also offering comfortable and welcoming accommodations.

What to Do:

Atauro is a haven for thrill-seekers and nature enthusiasts. There's plenty to do, both underwater and on land. Let me take you through some options: - Diving: The waters surrounding the island are teeming with vibrant coral reefs, an abundance of marine life, and awe-inspiring underwater drop-offs. Explore the depths of the ocean, swim alongside majestic sea turtles, and discover the hidden treasures that lie beneath the surface. - Hiking: There's an array of hiking trails that lead to panoramic viewpoints, secluded beaches, and charming villages. Strap on your hiking boots and immerse yourself in the island's rugged beauty as you traverse through lush forests, encounter exotic bird species, and breathe in the invigorating mountain air.

Where to Eat:

One of the highlights of my Atauro journey was indulging in the local cuisine. The island's coastal location means that seafood takes center stage in many dishes. Don't forget to try the traditional dish of ikan saboko, a mouthwatering grilled fish served with rice and vegetables.

Sights and Tours:

Immerse yourself in Atauro's rich cultural heritage by visiting traditional villages where locals warmly welcome visitors with open arms. Engage in conversations with the island's friendly inhabitants, learn about their traditional way of life, and gain insights into their deep-rooted beliefs and customs. For a truly unforgettable experience, embark on a dolphin and whale-watching tour. The sight of these magnificent creatures is sure to leave an indelible mark on your heart.

Nightlife and Shopping:

While Atauro is not known for its vibrant nightlife, you can still enjoy peaceful evenings by the beach, stargazing, and listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean. When it comes to shopping, Atauro offers an array of unique handcrafted souvenirs, including intricately woven textiles, artisanal pottery, and traditional wood carvings. Bring home a piece of Atauro's rich cultural heritage as a cherished memento of your unforgettable journey.

Your Atauro adventure awaits!

So, fellow adventurers, if you yearn for a travel experience that goes beyond the ordinary, pack your bags, set your sights on Atauro, and allow this captivating island to awaken your sense of wonder, ignite your spirit of exploration, and leave you forever changed. Read the full article

This charming and notoriously slow coastal city is a city that has suddenly found itself as the leading national capital after East Timor became an independent country in May 2002. Located on the northern coast of East Timor along the narrow plains between Timor and the mountain range that runs through the Ombai Strait, Dili is also the capital of the region of the same name. [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMdEhU7WKOQ[/embed] Dili, a remote colonial city in a remote part of the world in colonial times, has now become the bearer of its rich heritage. With a pronounced Portuguese influence, Macau is probably the furthest eastern city where you can experience the most authentic Portuguese food and architecture. In the city, where a lot of violence took place during the referendum period after 1999, Dili, which had gone through a bad period when many buildings were burned and many infrastructures were destroyed, however, recovered in an extraordinary way. The south side of Dili, which is quite small, is surrounded by the Palacio Governo, the State Palace and impressive Government Buildings, and is referred to as the heart of the city. To the east, the commercial district of Lecidere was conceived as part of Portugal, to the west it is surrounded by Colmera and the old Central Market. Head west along the coastal road (Ave de Portugal) and you can follow the Portuguese Farol houses, several embassies and restaurant districts. To the east of the Comoro Road, which is quite touristic, is the region also called Metiaut. This place is famous for its seaside restaurants. Trip To Dili Cristo Rei: Standing on a ledge in the east of Dili, Cristo Rei, also known as the Statue of Christ, is one of the must-see places. Legend has it that the structure, built by mostly Muslim Indonesians as a gift to the mostly Christian East Timorese, was designed for Jesus to return to Jakarta. The statue is about 27 meters high and stands on a globe. Following the steps to the statue of Christ along the beach of Dili, the path passes through various niches representing popular and cross stations where international and local fishermen also gather to exercise. The view of the statue in Dili Bay is magnificent. Fatucama Beach, in the form of the letter C, just behind the statue, is fascinating with its clear sea. Museum of the Resistance: Located within the borders of Rua University, just near the center of Dili, this museum is the right address for those who are curious about what happened during East Timor's 25-year struggle for independence. Brave War Memorial: The monument, which is 10 kilometers away from the mountains along the main line of the south road, leans its back on a magnificent view. Next to this memorial to the Australian Sparrow Force, which fought the Japanese for several years in Timor, there is also a permanent exhibit on Timor's war experience. This part, where the visit is free, also hosts a cafe with a very wide view. Beaches: There are many beaches in Dili. Among these, Areia Branca, right next to Cristo Rei, is one of the cleanest and most popular. Since there are many bars and restaurants along this beach, this is a very lively area not only during the day but also at night. The Jesus Backside beach, which is also within walking distance of Cristo Rei, has an insatiable view lying at the foot of the mountain. Outdoor Sports: Dili is a unique opportunity for outdoor sports enthusiasts. Diving is available in the area between Dili and Aturo Islands. In addition, tours are organized to the Jaco Islands for those who desire a more distant route, and diving is offered in this region. Another popular activity in the area is hiking and climbing. Mountaineers from all over the world come to Mount Ramalau. It is the highest mountain in East Timor. Even if you are not a professional climber, you have the opportunity to climb the mountain, which can be freezing at night. Because many tour companies provide services in this regard.

Jollibee Table Series

I didn't know na manlibre ako friend. Yass kaon nasad manambok na gyd ko ani ba. It was April 22,2022, friday and gikapoy ko ug palit gift sa amoa friend kay birthday niya this Sunday. So later that afternoon wala ko ga expect na mag exam jd mi. But atleast nahumana. The more days coming, kulbaan nako sa akoa future kay hapit na mahuman.

Anyways, manguli nami it was 6:30 plus I think kay ga exam mi gikan basta duol na sha 7:00pm. Natingala ko nga mangaon diay me. Char. Funny is naulanan mig kusog super, so naka pasilong pami ayha mi naka hike padulong jollibee drive thru. Yes our pangarap lang kainin mga first yr pami na karon ma afford na kay makadawat nag scholarship and ayuda haha.

So ganahan gyd mis sa babaw, since two story building siya. Gakatawa pajd ko kay along the way pagpasulod namo naa ko kapareha ug bag and murag crew sab ang tag iya as in nag katawa mi kay nanlingi ang guard ug kato crew. LOL.

After we ordered, ga una tuod ako mga amiga and finally naka lingkod mi atong pwesto na nalingkuran sab namo way back 2019 pa nga naa pami PE, nga di pa kayo afford ang jollibee na permi sabot ang tanan na mag jollibee na daw haha.

Anyways 7 kapin naman siguro mi naka start ato and burger was the only present na pagkaon that time kay upcoming pa si spag and pie. Ang amoang tabi na abot ug duha ka oras. From ranting to sharing opinions and hinanakit sa kinabuhi. Shempre dli mawala and dili sa panghimaway version na libak but totally spending with the right people sometimes siguro no and accepting their flaws na mga friend can help gyd.

TrollTunga Kayası Çıkışı

Norveç, Trolltunga Kayası (22km, 1100mt.).

Bu yazımda, TrollTunga'nın pekçok blogda rahatlıkla ulaşabileceğiniz ulaşım, imkanlar, fiyatlar vb konularını değil de çıkışını, dağını, patikasını, manzarasını, kayasını içeren tecrübelerimi aktarmaya çalışacağım.

TrollTunga benim bir haftalık Norveç gezisi kapsamında listeme göre ikinci öncelikteki gezilmesi gereken yerdi...

TrollTunga'da neyin nesi?

Bu yazıyı okuyorsanız muhtemelen kendi ülkeniz sınırları dışında bir yerleri tecrübe etmek istiyorsunuz ama müzeler, parklar, anıtlar sizi kesmemiş, o coğrafyada doğa ve dağ şartlarını bizzat zorluklarıyla yaşamak istiyorsunuz demektir.

TrollTunga Hike Rotası Üzerinde Tabela.

Yaklaşık 400mt.den 1100mt. irtifaya, gidiş-dönüş toplam 22km.lik bir doğa yürüyüşü ile ulaşılan, Ringedalsvatnet gölüne bakan bir uçurumun kenarındaki çıkıntı gibi duran bir kaya oluşumudur TrollTunga. Ve insanlar sadece ve sadece dünyada fenomen "O" bir kare fotoğrafı çektirmek için bu kayaya ulaşmaya çalışırlar.

TrollTunga Neden TeleVole'ye Malzeme Oldu?

Daha 2010'a kadar yılda sadece bin kadar insanın ziyaret ettiği bir yerken, popülerliğinin artması TrollTunga'yı ulusal bir ikon haline getirmiş ve günümüzde bir milyondan fazla yürüyüşçünün ziyaret ettiği bir yer haline gelmiştir.

TrollTunga’ya Çıkan 77  Milletten Hikerlar.

Troll'ün diline çıkarken, Rusça'dan Çince'ye, Almanca'dan İtalyanca'ya, Dutch dillerine pekçok farklı dili konuşan turiste rastlayabilirsiniz.

TrollTunga'ya nasıl Giderim?

Baştada değindiğim gibi, ben bu konuda fazla derinlere girmedim. Bir haftalık programımın pekçok bölümünü arabayla gerçekleştirdiğim için TrollTunga başlangıç noktasınada aracımla gittim. Station bir arabanın bagajında uyanıp, kahvaltımı yaptım, kıyafatlerimi hazırladım ve çıkışa geçtim. Hepsi o kadar...

TrollTunga Başlangıç Noktası, Skejeggedal’daki Otopark Alanı.

Not : Norveç bir karavan cenneti ülkesi. Ülkenin tüm yollarının kenarında yüzlerce, binlerce araç dinlenme cepleri mevcut. Buralarda duran pekçok Norveç'li veya yabancı plakalı karavan veya araba görebilirsiniz. Bu alanlarda rahatlıkla aracınızın içinde dinlenebilir, uyuyabilirsiniz.

Çıkış Öncesi Hazırlık Önerileri

TrollTunga'nın ilk 1km.lik kısmı gerçekten direk merdiven çıkışı gibi. Çıkışa başlamadan önce bedeninize ısınması için fırsat verin. Basit ısınma hareketleri yapın.

Başlangıç alanındaki tabelada önerdiği üzere, çıkışınıza sabah saat 10:00'dan daha erken bir saatte başlamayı hedefleyin.

Çıkışınız süresince, temmuz ayı dahi olsa yukarılarda sert rüzgar, kar, yağmur vb karşılaşabilirsiniz. Yanınızda mutlaka teknik ceket, polar, bere, eldiven vb aşırı sert şartlara karşı koruyucu malzemeler olsun.

En çok sıvıyı çıkışınızın ilk yarısında tüketeceksiniz. Bence az sıvı tüketen biriyseniz 1LT su ve Trolltunga'da içmek üzere meyvesuyu vb bulundurun. Çok sıvı tüketiyorsanız ise biraz daha fazla su alın ama asla yol üzerinde gördüğünüz eriyen kar sularından oluşan pınarlardan, dereciklerden vb su içmeyin.

Rota boyunca işaretler mevcut. Olabildiğince az eşya almaya çalışın.

Rotadaki işaretlere uyum gösterin ve 5nci veya 6ncı km.de kısa bir su, meyve, bisküvi vb mola için hazırlıklı olun.

TrollTunga Kayası Çıkışı

Skejeggedal mevkisinde (burası bir baraj göleti ve tesislerinin kenarında turistler için kurulmuş, otopark, cafe, wc, sağlık, güvenlik birimi vb kurulmuş bir alan), TrollTunga kayasına çıkış için yönlendiren yeterli tabelalar mevcut. Zaten sabahın erken saatlerinden itibaren yukarıya çıkışlar başlıyor. Görememeniz imkansız.

İlk Bölümün Sonunda Varılacak Bel Yukarıda Görünüyor. Belden Gelen Soldaki Dere ve Sağdaki Finiküler Hat Hedefi Belirtiyor.

Otoparktan tepeye çıkan finiküler hattı (2017'de çalışmıyordu) ve yukarıdan gelen küçük derecik açıkça görünüyor ve size yaklaşık ilk çıkış noktası hakkında bir fikir veriyor. Oysa bu direklerin verdiği yanılsama, yukarıya onların ilerlediği eğimle değil, aynı yüksekliğe çok daha kısa bir mesafede ve daha dik bir eğimle çıkacak olmanızdır.

TrollTunga'nın İlk Metreleri.

Başlangıç noktasında rota, hiking sezonu vb. hakkında ve ziyaretçilere öneriler kapsamında faydalı tabelalar mevcut.

TrollTunga Hike Esnasında Faydalı Olabilecek genel Öneriler Tabelası.

TrollTunga Rotası ve Rota üzerinde Mevcut Sağlık yardım kabin Mevkileri.

Rota boyunca hep görülecek olan ve azaldıkça moral veren mesafe tabelalarının ilkini başlangıçta görüyorsunuz. 

TrollTunga 11Km. Otopark 0Km. 

TrollTunga 11Km. Tabelası.

Oldukça güzel ve yeşillikler arasında bir patika ile başlıyorsunuz ilk bölüme. Yaklaşık 100mt gittiniz gitmediniz dik merdiven gibi bölüm başlıyor. Önerim bu bölümü oldukça düşük tempoyla ama sabit aralıklı molalarla geçmenizdir. Genç ve kısa ağaçların arasından ilerlerken fark edeceksiniz ki rotayı kaybetmek mümkün değil. Patika oldukça görünür hale gelmiş. 

İlk Bölümde Geçilen Dik Eğimli Patika.

Ve ilk bölümün pekçok kısmına da Nepal'li şerpalar tarafından geliştirilmiş taştan veya ağaçtan merdiven benzeri destekler yapılmış. Bunlara basarak tırmanıyorsunuz.

İlk 1km.lik Bölümün Tamamlandığını Haber Veren Tabela.

Gölet Göründüyse, Dik Bölüm Sona Erdi Demektir.

1km yazan tabelaya geldiğinizde veya göleti gördüğünüzde ilk bölümü başarıyla bitirdiniz demektir.

Fjord Manzarası Niyetine

Sırta Geldiğinizde Ağaç Yapısı Sona Eriyor. Göz alabildiğine Taş tepeler ve Çalılıklar Başlıyor.

İlk 1km.lik kısım bitince ortalıkta ne ağaç kalıyor nede makilik vb. Kayalardan oluşan tepelerin arasından oldukça hafif eğimle çıkan patikayı takip etmeye başlıyorsunuz bu noktadan itibaren. 

Buz kaplı Kayalardan Geçerek İlerliyorsunuz.

Kocaman düz kayaların üzerinden, çalılıkların arasından, kar düzlüklerinin yanlarından yaklaşık 5km ilerledikten sonra ilk sırta geliniyor ve Ringedalsvatnet gölünün muhteşem manzarası size tüm yorgunluğunuzu unutturuyor. Hava müsait ise bu manzaraya karşı ilk molanızı verebilirsiniz.

Rotanın 5nci/6ncı km.sindeki Mola Yerinde Görünen Muhteşem Ringedalsvatnet Göl Manzarası. Fjord Yerine Geçecek Muteşem Manzara.

Bu noktadan itibaren eğer hava açıksa gölün en doğu noktası görünür hale gelmektedir. Göl kıyısından bir miktar içeride kalan TrollTunga kayası buradan görünmese de katedilecek rotanın oldukça düz / çok düşük eğimli bir rotada ilerlediği görülebilir.

Özçekim mi? Yoksa Başkasının Gözünden Çekim mi?

Küçük göletlerin yanından, kocaman yassı kayaların üzerinden, eriyen buzul sularının uzağından geçerek yaklaşık 3-3,5 saatlik bir yürüyüş ile TrollTunga'ya ulaştınız. 

TrollTunga Kayası.

Uçuruma doğru uzanmış ikonik kaya orada, ortalık turist kaynıyor, ne yapacağız şimdi. Önerim, polarınızı giyin ve biraz yatın dinlenin bir kayanın üzerinde. Nasıl olsa zaman var, hava geç kararıyor. 

TrollTunga Üzerinde “Lady in Red”.

Bu kayanın ucunda fotoğraf çektirmenin bir dünya fenomenlik durumu var. Oldukça tehlikeli pozlar verenlerin yanında bir o kadar eğlenceli fotoğraf çektirenler de var.

TrollTunga'daki basit birkaç teamül şöyle;

Kayanın baş tarafında oluşan kuyruğa gir, 

Kayanın üzerinde bir ziyaretçi varsa geride dur, O'nun fotoğraf karesine girme,

Fotoğraf çektireceksen, makinanı/telefonunu arkadaşına ver, 

Arkadaşın yoksa, gözüne kestirdiğin başka bir turiste ya Allah deyip güven ve ondan yardım iste,

Fotoğraf/video çekimi olmadan da kayanın üzerinde zaman geçirebilirsin, engel yok,

Kayanın üzerinde 1-2 dakikadan fazla kalma, grupsanız bu süre bir miktar daha uzun olabilir,

Kayadan aşağıya düşme, başkalarını tehlikeye düşürme,

Fotoğraf, video çekimi esnasında adap kuralları çerçevesinde özel mesaj içeren kıyafet, dans vb yapılabilir,

Doya doya anın ve mekanın keyfini çıkar.

TrollTunga kayasından ayrılış biraz zor gelebilir. Tüm dünyada tanınan bir noktadasınız ve buraya bizzat bedeninizin çabasıyla geldiniz. Çok güzel fotoğraflar edinip, benzersiz bir tecrübe yaşadınız.

TrollTunga’da Fotoğraf Kuyruğu.

Çevrede biraz dolaşın, değişik açılardan kayanın ve göl manzarasının görsel hazzını depolayın. Güneş fazla aşağılara inmeden, gün olumsuz etkilenmeye başlamadan geri dönüşe geçebilirsiniz. Dönüş, çıkıştan çok daha kolay olacaktır. Her metresini yavaş yavaş, heyecanla çıktığınız rotanın geri dönüşü daha kısa sürede olacaktır.

2017′de patikanın sırttaki noktalarında da iyileştirmeler yapılıyordu. PreikeStolen çıkış rotasının tümü çok düzenli ve güvenli bir güzergaha dönüştürülmüştü. Orada yaklaşık 4km.lik kısa bir yol olduğundan ziyaretçisi çok daha fazla. Oraya kondüsyona veya doğa yürüyüş donanımına ihtiyaç duyulmadan çıkılabildiği için adım atılan her metre toprak/kayalık düz zemin veya kaya/ağaç basamak haline getirildiğinden, Ihlara Vadisi'nin en çok ziyaret edilen ilk 1km.lik kısmı gibi olmuş. Yani doğal yürüyüş ortamı kalmamış. 

Neyse, dönüş yolunda da aynı rotayı rahatlıkla izleyebiliyorsunuz. Yine önerim 5nci veya 6ncı km.lerde bir noktada göl manzarasına karşı mola vermenizdir.

Hello Tumblr It’s me again 2021

Hi tumblr! It’s me again, You know na Batasan nako na dili magtabi sa akong feelings sa uban and if I need to burst I just write it here. And thank you for being  my rant and feelings bin platform and also my personal diary.

Well, Yes! I’ve been dump again. Guess what the problem is? Still the same reasons kung unsa among issue before. Well yes, naa jud koy sayop man jud, di mn nako ikalimod I’m just a person ra sad baya, pero not to extent that I intended to harm her. Sa sige namog revisit ani na mga issues, I always learn a lot of lesson from it jud. Yes very Immature jud kaayu ko sa una (Kinsa may tao na gideretso sad pagmature oi) and I was very sorry jud that time na na feel ni Apple na I was harming her or what she calls ”using her bad experiences for my selfish act”. I know to myself that I never ever make use sa iyang experiences.

This is the first time I’ll confront myself on this issue. I’ve been to Psychologist to seek for professional help because I myself ma-feel nako ang trauma na nacause ani sa akoa. I tend to believe sa iyang mga words na iyang ginabuy-an sa akoa. She told me a lot every time na mag away mi sa the same issue, that I am an Abuser, nangdapat ko niya, no future,  palamunin, manipulator, pa-victim and all other teasing words niya sa akoa. Without even given me a time to explain everything and sort out to dispose and hurt me like that.  And tend to question myself always and even question my worth and sometimes sort to suicidal thoughts.  I just accept this accusations for her to be validated sa iyang mga struggles, at first I was hesitant to accept this but when I realize that she struggles a lot and understand her pain. Well I need to help her and to make her feel na I am always here bahalag ako nlng mapahamak ayaw lng sya. But from time to time, things got worst and she is now believing that I just the person who is now very evil and I myself get traumatize from tolerating every accusation she made to me. Everytime things get intense mn gud sa among misunderstanding, things sort out on triggering those experience niya. And I myself got affected and even sort of ending our relationship. On my end pd, things develop sa akoa and napansin nako na ga sort out ko to silence and leave for now scheme. (which is not very me). Because everytime I put a silent on me, daghan kaayu ko gihunahuna and I feel that na isolated ko and panic ko inside.

I really understand her sa iyang struggles, siguro if ako ang naa sa iyang shoes, same ra guro akong mabuhat, I understand unsa iyang na feel, and still always here for her. Dili pd baya sayun iyang ka agi, and everytime she tells me sa iyang past experience gakasad ko makakita sa iyang compose na hilak and gusto nako malagpasan nana niya. gusto ko muhelp but I can’t do anything to help her.

I love her so much, I want her to be happy, reach what she wants in her life, supports her all the way, her hobbies, her dream career, fulfill her bucket list. build her a home someday, I want to treat her like my Queen, give the best life she deserves, having a happy family someday. She is my source of Hope, she brighten up my day, tho I’m not that kind na very expressive jud pero every time she smile, her face while ga- sleep, when I kiss her before going to work,our video call moments, her cute face when she is upset, her face while she saw me waiting outside sa iyang office, out hiking moments, everytime she evade me while taking a bath (opsie wala mn say gina pafollow so ako ra makakita ani), her face while cooking, her face while she is busy sa iyang work, everything about her, when I shoot her for her vlogs feels like I really want this woman to be my home and be my wife someday,

Still hoping that we can fix this, but for now, I need to put attention on my mental health first. hopefull walay diagnosis. I’m still being observed pa.

Me and my love had our first kiss! ❤️

Dili pami uyab hahahah. We were actually planning for a hiking date and just walking around the corner. It was fun and enjoying since only few people were around. We talked and laughed and... we kissed?

Twas so unexpected. Never had that in mind. But his lips were so soft and gentle. Kanang kiss nga dulot sa bukog. Kanang kiss nga gusto pud nya. halaka oy. A kiss that you never wanna stop! I cant help but imagine it many times while i am driving back to our house. It feels like floating in the air.

The feeling was... like the world only exists between me and you.

[ryanlemp]

Last week we took a trip to the capital city of Dili. We had a chance to visit the Peace Corps office, buy plenty of peanut butter, and hike all the way up to Cristo Rei (top image). Tomorrow we find out our site assignments!

Beloi to Adara

For the detailed route and logistical information please select this hike below (click top left for the list of hikes). A tough but popular route crossing Atauro Island between Beloi and Adara, home to the lovely Mario’s Place, possibly the best located accommodation on the island. A boat trip between the two costs $80, hiking will take you at least 4 hours and a decent amount of sweat as you…

Reliable WIFI is difficult to come by and in Dili, I just found one place with trustworthy WIFI which is at the one-day supreme guide onthings

to do in Dili. Atauro Island

(2 nights)One of the best trip you can make in Timor Leste is to take a ferryboat up north to Atauro island, a remote island off the coast of Dili and is one of the very best places to go snorkeling and diving. The very best part is you don't even need to take a trip long hours to get here. It's only 2 hours away by ferry and you will be rewarded with a quiet angler town, tranquil Beloi beach, and the spectacular reef for you to check out.

Snorkeling is remarkable even simply off the Beloi beach. There are lots of fish and colorful coral reefs all along the stretch and a lot more so the further you are from the beach. There is likewise another area to go snorkeling/diving but you will have to get a boat out which you can go with [email protected]

If you are looking for a way to arrive and on things to do on Atauro island, examine out my ultimate guide to Atauro island. Dili(1 night)From Atauro, you will need to get a ferryboat or a speedboat back which leaves at around 3 PM so you will require to invest a night in Dili again to prepare for your next journey into the mountains.

Hato Builico (1 night)

Picture by Kate Dixon This town is a fantastic base for hiking the greatest peak in Timor Leste, the Ramelau peak which is best throughout dawn when the sky is clear and the weather condition is stable. You will have to remain one night in this town and at 3:30 AM, begin treking the mountain and you need to be at the summit by 6 AM, in time for the dawn.

Getting to this town is a little tricky as it is quite remote and the roadway is not in a good condition so if you have a 4WD, it will make your journey far more comfortable. If not, then what you can do is take an open-roof truck from a Taibessi bus stop in Dili to Maubisse which should cost you around 3 USD and will take 3 hours and then from the Maubisse market, find a flight from the residents that go to Hato Builico which should take you around 2 hours. Start early from Dili so you have adequate time to figure out your trip to Hato Builico from Maubisse.

Maubisse (2 nights)

After a hike like that, it is constantly nice to have a good peaceful place for you to rest and thankfully, Maubisse, the town you went through the day before is best for you to do nothing in. The town is lodged in between the gorgeous hills and mountains of Timor Leste and with its cool breeze, all around unblemished nature, there is no better location to kick back, unwind and enjoy the sound of nature.

This is even much better if you stay at the Green School, which is a location where the educate the local neighborhood on how to grow certain greeneries in this area. They also use an actually nice accommodation in a conventional hut with a killer of the mountains.

You can likewise walk up the hill to Pousada de Maubisse and delight in the view there as the guest home is perfectly found on top of the highest hill in town and you will be able to see a sweeping 360 view of the town and the landscape surrounding it.

Dili (1 night)

After 2 days in the mountain, you will see nearly every thing Timor Leste has to use from mountains and beaches and you can take the truck back to Dili, rest and prepare to fly house.

If you have more time in the nation and you don't mind roughing it out, you can spend 4 days traveling from Dili to Jaco Island and back to truly finish the schedule.

I didn't do this as I found the roadway eastward is among the worst one out there and taking a trip beyond Los Palos by public transport ended up being undependable and tiresome. Even when getting to the Jaco island, I will not be able to stay overnight on the island as it is thought about spiritual to the local people so I would be there for only a few hours for snorkeling and need to take a trip back through the exact same horrid roadway for another 2 days.

If you have a 4WD and are looking for more experience, continue your journey with a see to Jaco island, one of the most remote and most stunning islands of the nation.

+ 4 Days to Jaco Island (Optional)

Baucau (1 night)

You can easily drive for 12 hours to Jaco beach if you have your own 4WD and you wish to but I would suggest breaking the journey up into 2 days by spending a night in Baucau, the 2nd greatest city in the country. You will unlikely to see any tourists here as for the majority of the locations outside Dili, which is best for you to get a peek of how the bulk actually lives in the nation.

Baucau likewise have a couple of great colonial architectures that deserve exploring such as the Pousada de Baucau, an old pension utilized by the Portuguese now became a guesthouse, and the Baucau Old Market, a grand colonial structure that is considered to be the landmark of the city.

There is likewise a nice public swimming pool for you to leap in and you will wish to if you decided to take a trip along the dirty, pothole-ridden road that links Dili and Baucau via a bus.

Jaco Beach + Jaco Island (2 nights)

Photos by Andidut

Travel to Jaco island is not easy but the reward deserves it as you will be getting here in an empty island with a beautiful white sand beach, clear water, and sensational reef begging for you to check out. Make certain you have a snorkeling equipment with you as you will not be able to rent anywhere in Jaco beach or the island. That's how remote this location is.

Dili (1 night)

After remaining at the Jaco beach for 2 nights, you are still a long way to return to Dili. It should take you around 12 hours to drive the whole method so start your journey early, get back to civilization, enjoy your last night in Dili prior to flying back to Bali.

Remains of teen NPA fighter reunited with family

#PHinfo: Remains of teen NPA fighter reunited with family

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Feb. 25 (PIA) –  After having sexually harassed, tortured and murdered by the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) on suspicion of espionage in 2018, the remains of the 18-year-old  New People’s Army (NPA) member, Hope Capangpangan, was retrieved and finally returned to her family in Wao, Lanao del Sur.

This, after a close coordination of 103rd Brigade (103Bde), National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA)-10, and the local government unit of Wao on the information received of the whereabouts of the burial site as disclosed by a former NPA rebel, alias "Esab."

Troops belonging to the Army's 5th Infantry “Duty Bound” Batallion led by commanding officer LTC Romulus Rabara conducted an operation to retrieve and exhume Capangpangan’s remains, enduring a 12-hour hike on an undisclosed mountainous area in Lanao del Sur.

According to alias "Esab,” one of the NPA members who tortured the girl, Hope was tied and bound for two months and then tortured by the terrorist group to force her into confession on allegations that she was a government spy.

Harsh living conditions, false promises, and brutality of the terrorist group eventually prompted “Esab” to leave and escape the NPA camp with deep regrets for joining the movement which brought him nothing but pain and hardship. 

“Sa mga interesado diyan, wag ninyo na ituloy, kasi hindi ninyo alam kung gaano kahirap o kung anong krimen ang magagawa ninyo kung maging miyembro kayo ng NPA. Katulad ko, hindi ako gusto maging kriminal pero nagawa ko magpatay ng isang tao,” Esab shared.

(To those who are interested to join the NPA, please don’t continue. You have no idea on how hard or what kind of criminal acts you will do if you become a member of the NPA. Just like me, I didn’t want to be a criminal but I was able to kill a person.)

EO-70 at Work. NICA-10 Regional Director Manuel Orduña cites that reuniting Hope Capangpangan’s remains with her family is just another example of the administration’s firm commitment to attaining peace and ending local communist armed conflict in the country. (VPSBautista/PIA10)

Ricky Capangpangan, the victim's father and former NPA rebel who surrendered in 2018, shared that her daughter was recruited and brainwashed by the NPA in 2016 when the she was merely 16 years old.

With their last phone conversation in 2018, Ricky disclosed that his daughter wanted to come home and pursue her studies to become a policewoman but was held back by the NPA.

Ricky thanked the AFP, PNP, Wao town mayor, and everyone involved in bringing his daughter back to him and condemned the NPA terrorists that killed her.

“Kanang naa pa sa kabukiran karon, may panahon pa sila mo surrender, surrender nalang sila. Kaning nahitabo karon mura naman ni sila'g terrorista, dili naman sila pure nga NPA,” he said.

(To those who are in the hinterlands, there is still time to surrender. What’s happening now is that they’re terrorists; they are not like the NPA before.)

NICA-10 Regional Director Manuel Orduña emphasized that reuniting Hope Capangpangan’s remains with her family is just another example of the administration’s firm commitment to attaining peace and ending local communist armed conflict in the country.

“Symbolic itong sakripisyo na to, lahat ng Pilipino nag sama-sama para mabigyan ng hustisya at tamang kalagyan ang anak ni Mr. Capangpangan,” he said.

(The sacrifices we have today is very symbolic that Filipinos have come together to bring justice and give a decent burial to Mr. Capangpangan’s child.) (VPSBautista/PIA10)
