bun dia.
and so i have returned to timor leste - once known as timor timur to the indonesians and timor lorosae in the local tetum language.
this time, smiling faces and shining stars across the night sky greeted as the tiny nation went into the second round of elections or a presidential run-off.
prime minister jose ramos-horta won. but in between the elections and the announcement, i managed to get around capital city dili and neighbouring liquica district to test out my new camera.
and record moments and events as they came by.
the most important thing is of course the smiles that have returned to brighten the city just as the stars do the same at night and the sun in the day.
viva timor leste.
