Don't forget you mosquito repellent !.Malaria and Dengue fever are alive and doing well in East Timor.Just a few precautions like covering up with long pants and long sleeves at dawn and dusk,using a strong dose of DEET repellent should keep you out of trouble
Not a joke! UN Police cars have become the biggest threat in Dili traffic (many hit-and-run cases with UN police cars involved, too). Many UN Police drivers over-speed and seem to have no experience in driving such a big car..... It's no reason to avoid Dili, but do take this as a serious warning before you enter Dili traffic
