Doug in ET

D went to ET for a Technical Assessment Mission - hoping to make plans for the UN going forward in ET. Unfortunately he saw many of the issues still present that caused the instability in 2006 - lets all hope that they can hold it together for a little longer this time and maybe for ever!!

Some lovely views of ET and Dili from the air.











A statue of jesus on top of the hill...I thought that was interesting, of course the ET are mostly catholic thanks to the colonising Portugese.



This woman is making Tise which is a traditional ET cloth used for clothes, hats, bags, and we use some as a table runner.






When not flying around the country in helicopters they were meeting and talking.
