East Timor: Part 3 Richard Pendavingh 12.08.08

In the evening I'm starting to feel like I have a monumental hangover. Which is a marked improvement over what I was feeling at the start of the day.

When the locals see us they generally stop and stare. The children wave or squeal or shout 'malae!' or 'malae mutin!'

East Timor: Part 1 Richard Pendavingh 10.08.08

In 2008 I went to East Timor with some volunteers from my high school to install an electrical system for a school in a village called Zumalai on the south coast. We brought over some tools and electrical equipment and I brought back a few words in Tetum and a cute little tropical parasite.
