This is interesting. From Timor-Leste government stats:

There are around three thousand East-Timorese with Portuguese nationality living in United Kingdom, mainly in Northern Ireland, Manchester and Oxford.

I knew there were a lot, but didn't realise quite how many. It certainly makes sense for there to be some sort of consular agency there.

Excerpt from a story by a local newspaper in Dili after interviews with people around the city.

“What happens is that drivers sometimes shout at people who are walking in the middle of the road because there is no space on the sidewalk," said Maria da Costa of Comoro.

Drivers should also try to understand the different functions of roads and sidewalks, she added.

In addition, Antonio da Silva, a vender at Taibesi Market, said everyone should be aware of the function of the sidewalk to prevent more accidents from happening.

“Drivers are shouting at us, but they don’t realize that it’s their fault for not parking in the proper spaces,” he said.

This is a great video package of the Tour de Timor. And if you look carefully at 3:44, you can see me on the right.

From STL:

Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao has called for the country’s civil society to know well about function of justice before yelling.

I took this photo yesterday and I rather like it for some reason so thought I'd post it here.
