Bibi bibi everywhere!

Bibi (goats) are every where!
They are so much a part of my everyday life - when I look out my window, when we drive to Dili, when I ride to work in the morning, when I ride back home at lunch time, when I ride back to work after lunch, when I ride home at night, when I go to the market, when I go for a run in the morning, when I'm sitting on the balcony reading, when I'm sitting in my office working, when I'm just hanging out with my mates, when I'm crossing the road, when I'm going to the airfield for the helicopter, when I'm sitting in a restautrant...just all the time, they're there!
The kids are so cute - I love them!
But just like the pigs, once they're beyond their childhood and turn into adults they get a little less likeable.
But, all in all, they're interesting animals and they're always around!
...and in Tetun the word for goat is Bibi. Say it - it's fun.


A little hard to see, but these bibi are making a dash across a main road of Dili

The goat is on the left.

From my balcony, they love this spot and there are often bibi just hanging around.


This one is from the back of a motorbike on one of the district roads, I don't know what it is about this photo, but I love it. Maybe because this is what they look like when you're driving past them after they've scattered from the middle of the road!
