My friend seems happy to be there and I believe she's marrying an aussie guy. I didn't hear any negative news about east timor from her. But what i read from the paper is quite alarming, there's still war going on there. :( :( :( I keep on inquiring from my friend to tell me what's really going on there, she said they're fine and very happy to be there. :oops: I would like to hear some more first hand informations. I would like to go to east timor - i will call it adventure of my life - but safety & security are my priorities when travelling. :wink:

my ex gf worked in east timor in the UN ...according to her its peaceful enough as a UN peace keeping mission can go...not as dangerous as ARITRIYA or some of the other countries which needs a peace keeping force...its still under developed and to my knowledge everythng is traded in US dollars..its not a cheap place to visit..as they do rely on tourists...its beautiful and green and still unspoilt by the whole tourist trap...worth a visit...if your intentions are to visit and see a place that not too many people choose to see or make thier holiday destination...hope that helps.. cheers

asc_26

My presence is more important. Whether the couple will shoulder my ticket or not, it's none of your business & to say that my friend is CHEAP. If you have nothing much to say about EAST TIMOR other than criticising my friend, you'd better back OFF!
