Portuguese legacy and RICH HISTORY of a small Asian capital: exploring Dili, Timor-Leste

I've spent a day on November 6, 2022 exploring Dili, the capital of Timor-Leste, learning its rich history while admiring Portuguese colonial legacy.
Started my walk at the Government Palace, I walked to Motael Church and took a taxi to Timor Plaza. In the evening I visited Colmera neighborhood.
The other day, on November 9, 2022, I visited Santa Cruz cemetery to learn about how some sad events changed the history of the country towards independence.
Stayed in a Plaza Hotel Dili for $76 a night. Shown my spacious room in the end of the video.

I am Timorese Portuguese,, I grew up in Timor, a lot of Portuguese descendants liked East Timor, and when Timor got independence they are the ones who had to lead the Timor Struggle for independence along with TImorese people, that later changed into mostly Tiomorese led struggle against INdonesian attrocities and rejection for Indonesian identity. Timor has a lot of crazy history, Yes Timor is relatively poor and difficult place, but the Timorese people still believes in hopes, to improve their country from scratch. Thats the story of the island. the portuguese were not as ruthless as the Indonesian, i like to make that clear, because the portuguese were mostly using Timor as an Outpost for their maritime exploration, and Timor was their most forwards outpost to MACAU china.

[@SoAndrew]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing such an interesting and important part of the history. I met few Timorese Portuguese people in Dili and that's wonderful - another Portuguese legacy in Timor-Leste...

[@r3dpowel796]

[@thinkingaloud5379]

3rd Powel:The Portuguese were far more ruthless than the Indonesians who became ruthless only when they had to leave the island.The Portuguese were ruthless in crushing the Timorese struggle for freedom from them over the centuries and the Portuguese even trade them as slaves.Read your history, dude!

I'm from Mozambique southern africa, we mozambicans share the same colonization story with the people of Timor lest, we speak portuguese too, and learnd that there is a large number of afrotimor people with the Mozambique background living there in Timor since the beginning of 1900, i'm longing to come to visit Timor next year 2023, if some one can give me more information about Timor, i will be grateful.

Hi! Thank you for watching! Country is quite remote and there are only daily flights from Bali (Indonesia), which is quite expensive ($600-700 return). So you will need to fly to Bali first and then to Dili. There are also daily flights from Darwin (Australia), but you need visa there, so Bali is the only convinient option...

[@puma1304]

good to see something of Timor Leste, a small country with a big potential! Especially us, Latinamericans should have much more interest in places like this one, since we also share somehow the same colonial background and cultural roots... AND since some of us are ASEAN members since the beginning, we should also think in economic terms, because Timor Leste has many opportunities left open for entrepreneurship, in almost every realm you could think of! Of course Australia and Indonesia are the countries that could have the biggest influences over Timorese development in the future, but bold and clever Latinamericans could also, especially under the frame of ASEAN and Alianza del Pacifico common markets. I guess not many of our businessmen/women here have realized this, especially in Brazil, Chile, Peru... When I was in Darwin, Australia I always wondered why. In any case Timor could have a bright future if it makes the right development decisions (could start from 0, offering something different than all the others) and gets the right partners (hopefully not communist China), this "internationalisation" of its economy and political alliances is also important in order to keep balance with Indonesian expansionist spirit (see West Papua, "transmigrasi", etc.) Por isso é tambem importante manter uma identidade propia, reforçando especialmente os laços com a comunidade lusofona e iberodescendente!

Except Timor-Leste - there are only 2 international flights coming to Dili - from Bali and Darwin (Australia) and both are at least $450 return (!). This is a big NO for many tourists so they choose much cheaper destinations. From Bali it's only 2-hour daily flight and visa on arrival is issued for $30. Immigration process is very fast and simple, as in any other Southeast Asia country. From Singapore to Bali return flight I found for only around $100.

Andrew, to my knowledge, Timor-Leste got it's independency from Portugal in 1975...!

[@SoAndrew]

Yes, but after only 9 days it occupied by Indonesians. So the country finally got independence from Indonesian occupation only by 2002.

So nice

Thanks bro 🔥

[@rizallubis1303]

It is Indonesia that plays a role in Timor Leste's current infrastructure and economic development, not Australia or Portugal

The airport recently turned away 2 passengers transit from Bali via dili to Australia because they didn’t have USD $20 each for transit visa 🤯 we could😢help them we had just enough for us. I hated the airport glad I was in country less than a few hours 😂

[@SoAndrew]

I see, that's strange. No one asked me upon check-in whether I have enough cash for my visa. Everything is quite relaxed there.

[@barmandocrhistoper9644]

What is the beauty of the country of Timor Leste, Bali and Labuan Bajo are far classier and world class tourist destinations, and there are still many beautiful places in Indonesia
