East Timor

B - Just a quick note to post this link: www.gov.east-timor.org. This is the official site for East Timor's government. It has some basic info on it. We will be learning the Tetun language, which is one of the official languages, along with Portugeuse. Other languages are Indonesian and English, which are "working languages". Probably not the people we'll be working with, though...they'll speak one of the 30 other dialects spoken in East Timor.

I heard from another East Timor volunteer that the weather is hotter than the Deep South...that's right, hotter! Holy Cow!
