What I like about living in Timor

Having an “isin boot” (big body) is admired and considered healthy;

There are few if any mirrors from which to practice one’s narcissist tendencies;

Women wear little if any makeup;

Life is laidback;

There is little consumerism and therefore shopping is not a pastime to waste one’s hours on;

Living near the beach and close to Tasitolu Peace Park;

The smiles and laughter of all the little children;

It is sunny nearly 12 hours a day everyday; and most importantly,

Working for an organisation that seeks to raise awareness about women’s and children’s rights and which provides comfort and assistance to them in times of need.
