The Dry River Bed in Dili
being Quarried

by Groverdean

In Dry season it is very very dry as you can see from this picture. Most rivers completely dry up or become a trickle. It doesnt rain and it is naturally quite hot. Dili is the most uncomfortable of places on the island. In Wet season everything comes to life but some of the roads become puddles or skating rinks and are covered periodically by landslides. Also be aware in Dry season as no siltation flows into the sea the conditions for diving are ideal.

	Do Not Walk Alone in Dili Tip Rating:

By bkoon on February 24, 2005

East Timor Page by bkoon

Travellers should, as much as possible, travel in pairs (at least) as it is very dangerous to walk on the streets of Dili alone, especially when you are not familiar with the place. Robbery and kidnapping are common and always be careful, especially at night. Ladies, you need to pay more attention to this arning though.

	DILI not so safe... Tip Rating:

Timor has just come out of a bloody war and occupation period, where indonesian armed forces caused the death of one third of the whole population. In my travel. from 1999 u can read about the last stage of Timor's dramatic history.
East Timor is now safe, very few attacks on foreigners by impoverished youth at night have been reported the last years.
Since May last year (2006) random violence in the streets of the capital Dili has shocked the inhabitants and foreigners alike... Houses and shops, even a hotel were arsoned. Pity that East Timors capital follows the trend of all capitals of the world, less social contact among the people makes it less safe...
The recent presidential elections were completed without any serious violence so many of us are optimistic that the worst maybe over....
Check Australian safety warnings for travellers before travelling!
