Hi there just wondering if anyone knows of any Timor restaurants in USA or Canada. Thanks.

We, Andrei Creencia, Cyrus Mancenido, and Andhrea Ruiz, from the HUMSS department of Rogationist College in the Philippines, are conducting a research entitled “Exploring the Work-Life Balance of the Tour Guides in Timor Leste”. We are looking for english-speaking tour guides who have travelled to or are working in Timor Leste regardless of their nationality as our respondents. The objectives of this study aims to address the lack of studies concerning the work life balance of tour guides in Timor-Leste and give solution to this specific problem. We ensure that your asnwers will be treated with utmost confidentiality. We would like to ask you if you are willing to be a part of our research. 

Considering a job in Timor but need to know how fast internet speeds are. Can you do video teleconference? Stream services (Netflix, peloton, etc?) I don’t need to game online but watching films and working are a must. Thanks in advance.

Budget: not an issue.

Does anyone know when I can get USD out in Dili with an Australian Commonwealth bank card? I was there last year and none of the ATM's I tried would work.

Hey, I currently live in dili because my parents work here. I find it hard to find some friends on my age (I'm 19 Male) who can speak English. I am from the Philippines and my home is literally the timor plaza. Is there like a group of foreigners teens here? or some kind of place to hang out to meet new people?

My son has a Chinese name from his Timorese grandparents wondering if there was anyone in this chat that can help me find the meaning or words

Calling all critical thinkers and those with special interests!

I have made it a mission of mine to be in every reddit sub for every nation on the earth (or at least the ones in english).

I am trying to gauge interest in any who wish to bring their passion and knowledge in a category to join a groupchat (on the dinosaur of a platform known as Facebook).

What im looking for and why:

My whole life ive been interested in different countries and cultures and the idea of having an 18+ groupchat in which many nations have a bit of representation its a dream come true. Id love to have people who are educated and capable of deep discussion about various topics.

Criteria

1. Have a special interest in any field politics, philosphy, history, heck even those proficient in film music or theatre.

2. You can take a joke. Its a fairly on task group chat however id say the only stuff that is censored as far as words go is any words pertaining to race or explicitly sexual material.

3. You are respectful of different religions. The group chat is very commonly excercising various different belief standpoints and jokes as long as they are in good taste are perfectly acceptable

What to expect:

1. Debates: these can range in a variety of topics from politics to history to science. And they can border on "heated" but at the end we are all just trying to learn and any oversteps will result in bans after a warning if course

2. Varied religious backgrounds id say the group is about 65% Christian 35% atheist but everyone in there is comfortable with sharing details about their religion free of ridicule aside from the lighthearted jokes. We have also recently added some others majority of which are Muslim.

3. The group right now is majorly american but there has been a fair bit of canadians that have joined and left over the three years the groupchat has been around. We recently got some members Azerbaijan, Bahrain, and Germany

4. Right now we have experts in the following categories

Cryptocurrency TV Shows and Pop culture Philosophy American Law World History Military History Video Game History Meteorology

The group is probably like 45% autistics with special interests so we pride ourselves on knowing our craft.

5. Each month I post news articles from every nation's internet news source in alphabetical order usually a letter a day. And we monitor and disccus the conflicts happening abroad

6. The group is 100% male which wasnt even by design thats just how its gone so far but there isnt a gender requirement one way or the other.

The donts:

No excessive meme spam. I tend to allow discussions with GIFS but depending on how many join the chat, theres no need for excessive memes

No posting sexual or graphic material some mems walk the line but never cross it.

No racial slurs

The creator of the GC is the final authority on everything

The point of the GC is to engage and have fun. If somebody is going a month without at least reading the posts then you shouldnt have joined in the first place silly! Inactives are often removed after one month.

Lets educate eachother! The goal is to increase comradery and learm about eachother cultures.

As of right now im wanting natives to whatever nation I post this in (as I intend to copy and paste) and depending on traction Im going to try and invite either the first people who respond or the most educated.

If you want to leave a rude comment or something about how you have better things to do go ahead! This is reddit after all!

But at least for the sake of being entertaining lets avoid repeats so far ive heard

Pretentious

Arrogant

Sounds like Hell

Remember we are looking for people who want to make friends and debate ideas not people who think themselves witty comedians.

I am hoping to visit Indonesia in May for a month and then visit Timor-Leste. The problem is that I am a Bangladeshi citizen. I cannot get either a multiple-entry visa for Indonesia in advance or an on-arrival visa/e-visa to enter Indonesia. Technically I can apply for an e-visa, but it is common knowledge in Bangladesh that, at the moment, all online applications get stuck in perpetual processing and are never approved. The embassy recommends getting a sticker visa physically at the embassy. I got a single-entry tourist visa to enter Indonesia from the embassy in Bangladesh (they do not issue multiple-entry visas), and the only way I can re-enter Indonesia after my trip is by returning to Bangladesh and getting another visa from the Indonesian embassy here.

Also, Timor-Leste seemingly only has flights to/from Bali and Australia (which Bangladeshis can't even transit through in any way without a pre-approved visa we need to get from an Australian embassy).

Getting to Timor-Leste is the simple part and I just have to get a flight from Bali. But on the way out I need to fly somewhere through Bali on the same itinerary without self-transfer anywhere in Indonesia (i.e. connecting flights that would require me to cross Indonesian immigration, retrieve my luggage, and check in for a new flight).

I found the following itinerary through Citilink that in theory (to me) should get the job done and get me to Singapore (which I can thankfully enter with an e-visa) from Timor-Leste. But I don't want to get stuck in Timor-Leste forever, so I wanted to check here with others who may know better whether something is wrong with my plan. Please let me know if you have any advice. Or other suggestions for itineraries that go from Timor-Leste to another country via Bali without any self-transfers!

What is more commonly used in English? e.g. If you have a country selection menu on a website, what option would you see?

What's going on at Hotel Timor?

I’ll be visiting in April and will be flying out of Denpasar to back home to the U.S. My flight departing Denpasar is at 8 PM, but I’ll be flying on Citilink from Dili to Denpasar earlier that day (to land at 2:30 PM). I had to book Citilink flight separately so it’s not linked to my flight home.

I looked up the stats on the Citilink flight and it shows that it seldom cancels. But I have that anxious part of that thinks if it cancels then I’ll miss my flight home. Just checking to see other people’s experiences with flying Citilink.

Hi, I'm planning to go to Timor Leste this summer, but worry a bit about the language issue. I speak very little Portuguese but can communicate sufficiently in Bahasa Indonesia (I'm European, but spent some time in Indonesia where I learned the language to a certain degree).

How accepted is that these days?

Thank you

Hello fellow Timor enthusiasts! We've just released a video that takes a deep dive into the history of Timor-Leste. From the struggles of the past to the hopes for the future, this video aims to shed light on the incredible story of this tiny island nation. 🌴

Check it out and let me know what you think! 💬 https://youtu.be/78d8A_YSUe8

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and continuing the conversation about Timor! 💕

I am going to be spending 6 months in Timor-Leste, mostly in Dili and Baucau. I am planning to learn some basic Portuguese and hopefully Tetun. Is Portuguese good enough to get me by in most of the country? Also, I understand Rote is fairly well known for surfing but that is not where I will be. Is there surfing near Baucau or Dili? I would love any general advice for a 19 year old American on what to bring and things to do.

I wish I could know more about It, but I can't find much at the internet. I could find some brazilian academic articles about It and old expensive portuguese books for sale, written by priests. Is there a place where I can see about It in Portuguese, English or Indonesian? I accept other languages that the Google Translator operates with, until now tetum and other timorese languages are not there, yet.

Hey everybody, I would love to see a game played by Timor Leste live if the timing works out. But I cant seem to find any fixtures for them going forward. Is there no games or can I find it somewhere?

For football.

Hi, I am visiting Dili for one day from 16th February and leaving on the 17th. I really want to take a video of Cristo Rei using my drone. However I noticed the weather report that there is rain in the upcoming days, just wondering if the rains in Dili last for many days non-stop or do they stop at some point of the day so that I can have a chance to fly my drone and shoot the video? Thanks in advance.
