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…

Atrocities US committed against ASIA
Between 1996-2006, The US has given money and weapons to royalist forces against the nepalese communists in the Nepalese civil war. ~18,000 people have died in the conflict. In 2002, after another civil war erupted, President George W. Bush pushed a bill through Congress authorizing $20 million in military aid to the Nepalese government.
In 1996, after receiving incredibly low approval ratings, the US helped elect Boris Yeltsin, an incompetent pro-capitalist independent, by giving him a $10 Billion dollar loan to finance a winning election. Rather than creating new enterprises, Yeltsin’s democratization led to international monopolies hijacking the former Soviet markets, arbitraging the huge difference between old domestic prices for Russian commodities and the prices prevailing on the world market. Much of the Yeltsin era was marked by widespread corruption, and as a result of persistent low oil and commodity prices during the 1990s, Russia suffered inflation, economic collapse and enormous political and social problems that affected Russia and the other former states of the USSR. Under Yeltsin, Between 1990 and 1994, life expectancy for Russian men and women fell from 64 and 74 years respectively to 58 and 71 years. The surge in mortality was “beyond the peacetime experience of industrialised countries”. While it was boom time for the new oligarchs, poverty and unemployment surged; prices were hiked dramatically; communities were devastated by deindustrialisation; and social protections were stripped away.
In the 1970s-80s, wikileaks cables revealed that the US covertly supported the Khmer Rouge in their fight against the Vietnamese communists. Annual support included an end total of ~$215M USD, food aid to 20-40k Khmer Rouge fighters, CIA advisors in several camps, and ammunition.
In December 1975, The US supplied the weaponry for the Indonesian invasion of East Timor. This incursion was launched the day after U.S. President Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had left Indonesia where they had given President Suharto permission to use American arms, which under U.S. law, could not be used for aggression. Daniel Moynihan, U.S. ambassador to the UN. said that the U.S. wanted “things to turn out as they did.” The result was an estimated 200,000 dead out of a population of 700,000. Sixteen years later, on November 12, 1991, two hundred and seventeen East Timorese protesters in Dili, many of them children, marching from a memorial service, were gunned down by Indonesian Kopassus shock troops who were headed by U.S.- trained commanders Prabowo Subianto (son in law of General Suharto) and Kiki Syahnakri. Trucks were seen dumping bodies into the sea.
In 1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis, the CIA helped topple the democratically elected, left-leaning government of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, by telling Governor-General, John Kerr, a longtime CIA collaborator, to dissolve the Whitlam government.
In 2018 after the release of a suppressed ISC (International Scientific Commission) report, and the release of declassified CIA communications daily reports in 2020, it was revealed that the US used germ warfare in the Korean war, 2. Many of these attacks involved the dropping of insects or small mammals infected with viruses such as anthrax, plague, cholera, and encephalitis. After discovering evidence of germ warfare, China invited the ISC headed by famed British scientist Joseph Needham, to investigate, but the report was suppressed for over 70 years.
Between 1963 and 1973, The US dropped ~388,000 tons of napalm bombs in vietnam, compared to 32,357 tons used over three years in the Korean War, and 16,500 tons dropped on Japan in 1945. US also sprayed over 5 million acres with herbicide, in Operation Ranch Hand, in a 10 year campaign to deprive the vietnamese of food and vegetation cover.
In 1971 in Pakistan, an authoritarian state supported by the U.S., brutally invaded East Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971. The war ended after India, whose economy was staggering after admitting about 10 million refugees, invaded East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and defeated the West Pakistani forces. The US gave W. pakistan 411 million provided to establish its armed forces which spent 80% of its budget on its military. 15 million in arms flowed into W. Pakistan during the war. Between 300,000 to 3 million civilians were killed, with 8-10 million refugees fleeing to India.
In 1970, In Cambodia, The CIA overthrows Prince Sihanouk, who is highly popular among Cambodians for keeping them out of the Vietnam War. He is replaced by CIA puppet Lon Nol, whose forces suppressed the large-scale popular demonstrations in favour of Sihanouk, resulting in several hundred deaths. This unpopular move strengthens once minor opposition parties like the Khmer Rouge (another CIA supported group), who achieve power in 1975 and massacres ~2.5 million people. The Khmer Rouge, under Pol Pot, carried out the Cambodian Genocide, which killed 1.5-2M people from 1975-1979.
In 1969, The US initiated a secret carpet bombing campaign in eastern Cambodia, called, Operation Menu, and Operation Freedom Deal in 1970. An estimated 40,000 - 150,000 civilians were killed. Nixon lied about this campaign, but was later exposed, and one of the things that lead to his impeachment.
US dropped large amounts of Agent Orange, an herbicide developed by monsanto and dow chemical for the department of defense, in vietnam. Its use, in particular the contaminant dioxin, causes multiple health problems, including cleft palate, mental disabilities, hernias, still births, poisoned breast milk, and extra fingers and toes, as well as destroying local species of plants and animals. The Red Cross of Vietnam estimates that up to 1 million people are disabled or have health problems due to Agent Orange.
US Troops killed between 347 and 504 unarmed civilians, including women, children, and infants, in South Vietnam on March, 1968, in the My Lai Massacre. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated. Soldiers set fire to huts, waiting for civilians to come out so they could shoot them. For 30 years, the three US servicemen who tried to halt the massacre and rescue the hiding civilians were shunned and denounced as traitors, even by congressmen.
In 1967, the CIA helped South Vietnamese agents identify and then murder alleged Viet Cong leaders operating in villages, in the Phoenix Program. By 1972, Phoenix operatives had executed between 26,000 and 41,000 suspected NLF operatives, informants and supporters.
In 1965, The CIA overthrew the democratically elected Indonesian leader Sukarno with a military coup. The CIA had been trying to eliminate Sukarno since 1957, using everything from attempted assassination to sexual intrigue, for nothing more than his declaring neutrality in the Cold War. His successor, General Suharto, aided by the CIA, massacred between 500,000 to 1 million civilians accused of being communist, in the Indonesian mass killings of 1965-66. The US continued to support Suharto throughout the 70s, supplying weapons and planes.
Between 1964 and 1973, American pilots flew 580,000 attack sorties over Laos, an average of one planeload of bombs every eight minutes for almost a decade. By the time the last US bombs fell in April 1973, a total of 2,093,100 tonnes of ordnance had rained down on this neutral country. To this day, Laos, a country of just 7 million people, retains the dubious accolade of being the most heavily bombed country in the world per capita.
From the 1960s onward, the US supported Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos. The US provided hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, which was crucial in buttressing Marcos’s rule over the years. The estimated number of persons that were executed and disappeared under President Fernando Marcos was over 100,000. After fleeing to hawaii, marco was suceeded by the widow of an opponent he assasinated, Corazon aquino.
Starting in 1957, in the wake of the US-backed First Indochina War, The CIA carries out approximately one coup per year trying to nullify Laos’ democratic elections, specifically targeting the Pathet Lao, a leftist group with enough popular support to be a member of any coalition government, and perpetuating the 20 year Laotian civil war. In the late 50s, the CIA even creates an “Armee Clandestine” of Asian mercenaries to attack the Pathet Lao. After the CIA’s army suffers numerous defeats, the U.S. drops more bombs on Laos than all the U.S. bombs dropped in World War II. A quarter of all Laotians will eventually become refugees, many living in caves. This was later called a “secret war,” since it occurred at the same time as the Vietnam War, but got little press. Hundreds of thousands were killed.
In 1955, the CIA provided explosives, and aided KMT agents in an assassination attempt against the Chinese Premier, Zhou Enlai. KMT agents placed a time-bomb on the Air India aircraft, Kashmir Princess, which Zhou was supposed to take on his way to the Bandung Conference, an anti-imperialist meeting of Asian and African states, but he changed his travel plans at the last minute. Henry Kissinger denied US involvement, even though remains of a US detonator were found. 16 people were killed.
From 1955-1975, the US supported French colonialist interests in Vietnam, set up a puppet regime in Saigon to serve US interests, and later took part as a belligerent against North Vietnam in the Vietnam War. U.S. involvement escalated further following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident, which was later found to be staged by Lyndon Johnson. The war exacted a huge human cost in terms of fatalities (see Vietnam War casualties). Estimates of the number of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed vary from 966,000 source to 3.8 million.source Some 240,000–300,000 Cambodians,source23 20,000–62,000 Laotians,4 and 58,220 U.S. service members also died in the conflict, with a further 1,626 missing in action. Unexploded bomb continue to kill civilians for years afterward.
In the summer of 1950 in South Korea, anticommunists aided by the US executed at least 100,000 people suspected of supporting communism, in the Bodo League Massacre. For four decades the South Korean government concealed this massacre. Survivors were forbidden by the government from revealing it, under suspicion of being communist sympathizers. Public revelation carried with it the threat of torture and death. During the 1990s and onwards, several corpses were excavated from mass graves, resulting in public awareness of the massacre.
In 1984, documents were released showing that Eisenhower authorized the use of atomic weapons on North Korea, should the communists renew the war in 1953. The 2,000 pages released show the high level of planning and the detail of discussion on possible use of these weapons, and Mr. Eisenhower’s interest in overcoming reluctance to use them.
In the beginning of the Korean war, US Troops killed ~300 South Korean civilians in the No Gun Ri massacre, revealing a theater-wide policy of firing on approaching refugee groups. Trapped refugees began piling up bodies as barricades and tried to dig into the ground to hide. Some managed to escape the first night, while U.S. troops turned searchlights on the tunnels and continued firing, said Chung Koo-ho, whose mother died shielding him and his sister. No apology has yet been issued.
The US intervened in the 1950-53 Korean Civil War, on the side of the south Koreans, in a proxy war between the US and china for supremacy in East Asia. South Korea reported some 373,599 civilian and 137,899 military deaths, the US with 34,000 killed, and China with 114,000 killed. Overall, the U.S. dropped 635,000 tons of bombs—including 32,557 tons of napalm—on Korea, more than they did during the whole Pacific campaign of World War II. The US killed an estimated 1/3rd of the north Korean people during the war. The Joint Chiefs of staff issued orders for the retaliatory bombing of the People’s republic of China, should south Korea be attacked. Deadly clashes have continued up to the present day.
From 1948-1949, the Jeju uprising was an insurgency taking place in the Korean province of Jeju island, followed by severe anticommunist suppression of the South Korean Labor Party in which 14-30,000 people were killed, or ~10% of the island’s population. Though atrocities were committed by both sides, the methods used by the South Korean government to suppress the rebels were especially cruel. On one occasion, American soldiers discovered the bodies of 97 people including children, killed by government forces. On another, American soldiers caught government police forces carrying out an execution of 76 villagers, including women and children. The US later entered the Korean civil war on the side of the South Koreans.
In 1949 during the resumed Chinese Civil War, the US supported the corrupt Kuomintang dictatorship of Chiang Kaishek to fight against the Chinese Communists, who had won the support of the vast majority of peasant-farmers and helped defeat the Japanese invasion. The US strongly supported the Kuomintang forces. Over 50,000 US Marines were sent to guard strategic sites, and 100,000 US troops were sent to Shandong. The US equipped and trained over 500,000 KMT troops, and transported KMT forces to occupy newly liberated zones as well as to contain Communist-controlled areas. American aid included substantial amounts of both new and surplus military supplies; additionally, loans worth hundreds of millions of dollars were made to the KMT. Within less than two years after the Sino-Japanese War, the KMT had received $4.43 billion from the US—most of which was military aid.
The U.S. installed Syngman Rhee,a conservative Korean exile, as President of South Korea in 1948. Rhee became a dictator on an anti-communist crusade, arresting and torturing suspected communists, brutally putting down rebellions, killing 100,000 people and vowing to take over North Korea. Rhee precipitated the outbreak of the Korean War and for the allied decision to invade North Korea once South Korea had been recaptured. He was finally forced to resign by mass student protests in 1960.
Between 1946 and 1958, the US tested 23 nuclear devices at Bikini Atoll, using the native islanders and their land as guinea pigs for the effects of nuclear fallout. Significant fallout caused widespread radiological contamination in the area, and killed many islanders. A survivor stated, “What the Americans did was no accident. They came here and destroyed our land. They came to test the effects of a nuclear bomb on us. It was no accident.” Many of the islanders exposed were brought to the US Argonne National laboratory, to study the effects. Afterwards the islands proved unsuitable to sustaining life, resulting in starvation and requiring the residents to receive ongoing aid. Virtually all of the inhabitants showed acute symptoms of radiation syndrome, many developing thyroid cancers, Leukimia, miscarriages, stillborn and “jellyfish babies” (highly deformed) along with symptoms like hair falling out, and diahrrea. A handful were brought to the US for medical research and later returned, while others were evacuated to neighboring Islands. The US under LBJ prematurely returned the majority returned 3 years later, to further test how human beings absorb radiation from their food and environment. The islanders pleaded with the US to move them away from the islands, as it became clear that their children were developing deformities and radiation sickness. Radion levels were still unacceptable. The United States later paid the islanders and their descendants 25 million in compensation for damage caused by the nuclear testing program. A 2016 investigation found radiation levels on Bikini Atoll as high as 639 mrem yr−1, well above the established safety standard threshold for habitation of 100 mrem yr−1. Similar tests occurred elsewhere in the Marshall Islands during this time period. Due to the destruction of natural wealth, Kwajalein Atoll’s military installation and dislocation, the majority of natives currently live in extreme poverty, making less than 1$ a day. Those that have jobs, mostly work at the US military installation and resorts. Much of this is detailed in the documentary, The Coming War on China (2016).
After the Japanese surrender in 1945, Douglas MacArthur pardoned Unit 731, a Japanese biological experimentation center which performed human testing of biological agents against Chinese citizens. While a series of war tribunals and trials was organized, many of the high-ranking officials and doctors who devised and respectively performed the experiments were pardoned and never brought to justice. As many as 12,000 people, most of them Chinese, died in Unit 731 alone and many more died in other facilities, such as Unit 100 and in field experiments throughout Manchuria. One of the experimenters who killed many, microbiologist Shiro Ishii, later traveled to the US to advise on its bioweapons programs. In the final days of the Pacific War and in the face of imminent defeat, Japanese troops blew up the headquarters of Unit 731 in order to destroy evidence of the research done there. As part of the cover-up, Ishii ordered 150 remaining subjects killed.
In 1945 during the month-long Battle of Manila, the US in deciding whether to attack Manila (then under Japanese occupation) with ground troops, decided instead to use indiscriminate carpet-bombing, howitzers, and naval bombardment, killing an estimated 100,000 people. The casualty figures show the US’s regard for filipino civilian life: 1,010 Americans, 16,665 Japanese and 100,000 to 240,000 civilians were killed. Manila became, alongside Berlin, and Warsaw, one of the most devastated cities of WW2.
US Troops committed a number of rapes during the battle of Okinawa, and the subsequent occupation of Japan. There were 1,336 reported rapes during the first 10 days of the occupation of Kanagawa prefecture alone.1 American Occupation authorities imposed wide-ranging censorship on the Japanese media, including bans on covering many sensitive social issues and serious crimes such as rape committed by members of the Occupation forces.
From 1942 to 1945, the US military carried out a fire-bombing campaign of Japanese cities, killing between 200,000 and 900,000 civilians. One nighttime fire-bombing of Tokyo took 80,000 lives. During early August 1945, the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing ~130,000 civilians, and causing radiation damage which included birth defects and a variety of genetic diseases for decades to come. The justification for the civilian bombings has largely been debunked, as the entrance of Russia into the war had already started the surrender negotiations earlier in 1945. The US was aware of this, since it had broken the Japanese code and had been intercepting messages during for most of the year. The US ended up accepting a conditional surrender from Hirohito, against which was one of the stated aims of the civilian bombings. The dropping of the atomic bomb is therefore seen as a demonstration of US military supremacy, and the first major operation of the Cold War with Russia.
In 1918, the US took part in the allied intervention in the Russian civil war, sending 11,000 troops to the in the Arkhangelsk and Vladivostok regions to support the anti-bolshevik, monarchist, and largely anti-semitic White Forces.
In 1900 in China, the US was part of an Eight-Nation Alliance that brought 20,000 armed troops to China, to defeat the Imperial Chinese Army, in the the Boxer Rebellion, an anti-imperialist uprising.
In 1899, after a popular revolution in the Philippines to oust the Spanish imperialists, the US invaded and began the Phillipine-American war. The US military committed countless atrocities, leaving 200,000 Filipinos dead. Jacob H Smith killed between 2,500 to 50,000 civilians, His orders included, “kill everyone over the age of ten” and make the island “a howling wilderness.”
Throughout the 1800s, US settlers engaged in a genocide of native Hawaiians. The native population decreased from ~ 400k in 1789, to 40k by 1900, due to colonization and disease. In 1883, the US engineered the overthrow of Hawaii’s native monarch, Queen Lili’uokalani, by landing two companies of US marines in Honolulu. Due to the Queen’s desire “to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps the loss of life” for her subjects and after some deliberation, at the urging of advisers and friends, the Queen ordered her forces to surrender. Hawaii was initially reconstituted as an independent republic, but the ultimate goal of the US was the annexation of the islands to the United States, which was finally accomplished in 1898. After this, the Hawaiian language was banned, English replaced it as the official language in all institutions and schools. The US finally apologized in 1993, but no land has been returned.

Weekly Writing and Reading Update
Hello from the impending Long Dark! Although I must say I am pretty psyched to at least not wake up in pitch darkness on the weekend. (Weekdays it's honestly fine and I'm used to it.) I went for a gorgeous hike this morning and now I'm making challah so time to catch up.
Also I shaved my head last night and I LOVE IT. I was going to start growing my hair out again but this time only shaving the sides, but I love having short hair and I think I'll keep buzzing it for awhile.
Writing
whooooo, (mostly) the end of Whumptober! I've got one more story I worked on today that I think will be done soon, but other than that not sure how much, if anything, will get added to this year's collection.
meeting Dily story - I keep thinking of this as Blanket-verse which I sort of hate but also accept is probably a good name for this AU. Anyway, this took a bit to get off the ground -- I kept really disliking how I was writing Dily herself -- but I think I've got enough and it's firmly established enough that I'll start posting chapters soon.
Reading
I finished Menewood, about which I cannot possibly write intelligently. Hild was and is so important to me and I love that period in English history so, so much, and the immersiveness of the books, how heartbreaking and hard and wild and wonderful they are! It did push me to plan to get Hild in non-ebook format; they're both absolute bricks so it's easier to read the e-book but I found it super helpful to be able to easily refer to the family trees and maps and stuff.

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!

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. Healing within yourself, accepting your mistake and admitting your loss is needed sometimes jd. That table sa jollibee saksi gyd sa hinanakit sa kinabuhi namo/nako ug mga dili ganahan. Shempre Im not perfect but that night na ibsan gamay akong kalagot nahitabo atong sa Zamboanga, and I'll be focus on healing sa gyd.
Mao rato akong kwentong jollibee sa kay focus sa ta sa goal karon. Thank you.

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.

Tasi Tolu Ridge Hike
For the detailed route and logistical information please select this hike below (click top left for the list of hikes). One of the harder hikes I’ve done in Dili, this took me about 3.15 hours (with breaks) to hike ~11km along the ridgeline behind Tasi Tolu in west Dili. I was rewarded with incredible views for much of the way, a sense of remoteness close to the city, and a constant fear of dogs…

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.

10 Days Schedule for Timor Leste - The Ultimate Backpacking Guide to Timor Leste
Timor Leste is most likely one of the least took a trip country in Southeast Asia getting only around 60,000 travelers each year. The majority of those travelers are on a visa run from Indonesia, and they frequently remain simply in Dili which is a pity as the nation shines on its own when you began to head out of the capital city.
In August 2018, I chose to spend 10 days traveling in Timor Leste trying my best to get off the beaten path as much as possible and although I had 10 days guide to checking out Timor-Leste cities, culture, and sensational countrysides. Timor Leste Schedule Map Why Go to Timor Leste With the overtourism we are seeing all over the world, taking a trip in Timor Leste is a breath of fresh air. The nation lacks tourism infrastructure hence permitting us travelers to check out the nation as it is suggested to be, through the methods the residents do.
You are likewise rewarded with sensational nature from the marine life of the undersea world around Atauro island to the quiet mountain area of Maubisse, all of which are untouched by mass tourism, which is difficult to come by in Southeast Asia. If you are looking for a real experience, this is the location to be.
How to Get Here
The cheapest way to get to Timor Leste by air is to get yourself to Bali and from there, fly from Denpasar airport to Dili via NAM or Sriwijaya Air. The flight can cost as low as 35 USD per method if you reserve it beforehand. You can Bangkok or Singapore so it is best to check out Timor Leste in between your trip through Indonesia. If you are an EU passport holder, you are excused from the visa requirement so do not line up when you get here at the airport. Simply go directly through to the immigration and stamp your passport in. For the rest people, you can get the visa at the airport for 30 USD.
Make certain you have some USD on hand when you get here. When to Go The very best time to visit Timor Leste is during the
dry season which is
from June to September where you will optimize clear days, great visibility undersea and lessen the chance of getting stuck someplace due to flooded roadways. Where to Stay Dili- Timor Backpackers-15.00 USD/Night(Dorm)| 65 USD/Night(Twin Space)-The only hostel with a dependable wifi. Atauro- Atauro Dive Resort-18 USD/Night(Dormitory)| 35 USD/Night(Double Space with Sea View)Hato Builico- Pousada Alecrim Leublora Green Village Facebook page and compose
an enjoyable experience for anybody. If you wish to take a trip easily, you will require to rent a motorcycle or a jeep which, as pointed out above, is not cheap at all. Food can be cheap if you consume outside of the tourist location and if do not mind eating regional food. It should cost you around 2 - 4 USD per meal. If you are eating at a western restaurant, prepare to pay double that. Hostels are just readily available in Dili and Atauro island and it must cost around 10 - 18 USD. You do not have many alternatives other than remaining in guesthouses or homestays beyond Dili and it should cost in between 20 - 45 USD per night. Hotels in Dili can go upward 45 - 75 USD per night.
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.

SəninYerin 😋... Haput kəndi Baş Qafqaz silsiləsinin yamacındadır. Haputların ana dili haput dilidir. Əksər kəndlilər ilin yarısını yaylaqda, yarısını qışlaqda keçirməklə heyvandarlıqda məşğul olur.. 🌄.. (Haputlular çox mehriban və qonaqpərvərdir... Əgər yolçunun birşeyə ehtiyacı varsa, bacardıqları köməkliyi etməyə çalışırlar)..💛 Gəlin bura, mənzərəyə və insanlara aşiq olun)).. 💜 . * #SeninYerin #selfie #project #YourPosition #YourPlace #iloveyou #happy #trip #azerbaijan #caucasus #haput #extreme #summer #travel #tour #tourtheplanet #travelblogger #trekking #hiking #sport #sheeps #MuhammadAgha #directorOfPhotography #photographer #nikon #love #cometome #2017 #followme on #instagram
