First of all I need to apologise and try to justify my total slackness over the last month! Once again my dear friend Timor Telecom had a slight issue with the internet which meant limited access for 3 weeks, and my poor little Maccie laptop finally succumbed to the heat and humidity by having a nervous breakdown, and as a result I have been treating her gently and only using her occasionally.
I do have lots more photo's and a few more thoughts to put up here, so I will continue this blog for a while longer yet. Right now I am sitting in Ende on Flores Island in Indonesia. My time in Timor Leste is basically up, and as you might expect this has been cause for much thinking and reflecting about Timor Leste, my time there and it's impact on me. I am happy to be here, and to have a break before I head back to Australia, to take some time to think about the year, the people I've met, the stories they've shared, the places I've been and the things I have tried to learn and understand.
It's nice to be in-between - no job, no home, no pressing requirements, no timelines to stick to...no responsibilities. I've had a great year, a challenging year, a fun and exciting and happy year, lots of ups and downs, and hearing and seeing how East Timorese live, but I'm ready for a break. No doubt I'll update again soon. I'll put up some more photo's when I get back to my computer but in the meant time, over the next week or so I might tell you some stories.
...but right now, I'm going to drink a mango juice and go for a swim.
