I don't know but what does your friend tell you? Might be good for us to know.

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.

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.

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

That's what most of our friends said - not a cheap place to visit - but very nice place. I will be one of the bridemaids const, so i think i have to make it there. I still have 7 months to save for the trip ~~i'm still hoping the couple will change their minds and have the wedding back home.

Sorry but I think your friend is cheap. She won't pay for your tickets going there?

I'm only 13<<<<<<<<<<<<<< won't get permission from my teacher or parents. Maybe in 5 years.

p.s. I thought const's posts stated "x" - unless her name is "Xena"

I presume too much, sorry. I thought that is what you'll be saving up for in 7 months. So what are you going to save up for then if not for the tickets? 7 months would mean a lot of money!

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!

Well now that it is clear you are free to take const with you he'll be an excellent guide and a gentleman - specially since you will pay his way.

No, No...If const will be with me he'll get to see his X and probably might rekindle the love they've had at my expense..tsk..tsk..tsk.. Concord?!

somehow i feel i am being "shanghied" into this sham...my ex is fine thank u...we are still good friends...in fact i DID see her in hong kong...so east timor is not a danger zone for love of any kind...i just came back from a beautiful holiday...so might pass on the tourist guide offer...enjoy your time in timor...

Thanks Constantine!

See Concord, he don't want to go with me. You're the ONE ...hahahaha!
