Today is our last day at East Timor, we are going to take our flight to Bali soon by 1.35pm.We are wake up quite early today because we will having a small discussion with the director of the TLMDC later.

Before the discussion start, let us having our breakfast first. As usual, we are buying our breakfast at a bread shop call ABU Bakery. We already bought our breakfast there during our first day at East Timor until the last. We eat bread and a rice call nasi kuning every morning. There is the only bread shop we can found at our area, that’s why it become the only choice there.
      

After the breakfast, we are going to buy souvenir first. Actually we are a bit slow, the souvenir area was just very near to us, not more than 50 feet far from our hotel, but we didn’t realize until the last day when we go. There is a small area to buy our souvenir; i just bought a few souvenirs to proof that I’m there. HeHeHe
          
          

After we finish our shopping, the discussion is going to start. This discussion take us 1 hour to finish, we are discussing about the technology which can be improve the development of East Timor.

After the discussion, it’s the time for us to say good bye to all the officer of TLMDC. I’m happy to work with them in this few days. Thanks everyone.

22 June 2007

A cold weather of yesterday night. The quilt is not enough to cover the cold. Although today is the last day training for us, but I’m not feel excited because we were already used to it.

Once we reach the training centre that was a big surprise for us. The cover was break and down. How can we start the class without the cover? If the rain attack again, then how can we do? Hopefully the office already searches for a new cover to replace the break one. Come, come, come, lets replace and repair our cover together else we can’t start the class immediately.

After 1 hour hardworking, our new cover is done by the help of our officer and the participants. Thanks to everyone. Our class today is delay 1 hour because of the cover problem. But it seems better now. Ok let us start our last training topic now.

      

Let see what our lunch meal today, rice with chicken liver and a vegetable. We got sweets after lunch also, not bad ler. It is sweet and taste is good.

We are having our dinner at the training centre tonight. It’s just a very simple meal tonight. But it looks delicious for us because of the whole day training. Although our training teach until night, but our participants still look full of energy in listening to what we are teaching.

            

            

After the class was finish, we went back to our hotel. There are some staff still stays at the office to continue the training themselves. But after a while we reach our hotel, it start to rain. From small to heavy, it was a long time rain, from night until morning. Feel very cold tonight.

But let us find out what happen during the raining night. Our training centre got a big problem. The rain protector is down because of the heavy rain. Hopefully some of the staff still in the office, they quickly move all the computers to a safety place which can avoid by the attack of rain.

From 9.00am to 7.20pm, such a long training today. Feel very tired for today. The participant also look tired to attend such a long training today. Every one of them looks tired also. For sunrise until night and still need to prepare the training stuff for tomorrow. Really tired and tired.

Let see our dessert today, I don’t know how to call this also, got potato, banana and sagu(malay). Feel sweet and not bad also. First time trying this kind of food, feel good. We have our lunch with the entire participant and the employee here everyday in the training centre. Everyone looks like under one root, not bad to me to have this kind of experience.

One of my friends asks me why I can’t saw you. Ok here I am, because I’m being a part time photographer here also. That’s why hard to see me in the pictures. One day to one day, today is my 3rd day in East Timor, feel like can accept their life here and I’m trying to get more information about their life and what they usually do. The employee of the TLMDC is very friendly and nice. They treat us very well and want to say thanks to them first.

Sand, storm, and mosquito are easy to fine here. A lot of mosquitos follow me everyday, no matter at training centre or the hotel. But going to used to it soon.
