Welcome to our tropical country Timor-Leste. The climate of Timor-Leste is tropical hot and humid with two seasons caused by the alternating monsoons. There is a rainy season from December to May and a dry season from June to November. Since the currency of Timor-Leste is the United States dollar (USD), everything is generally expensive compare to our neighboring country Indonesia. I hope you enjoy your stay in TL.

I think because TL is relatively expensive compare to other countries in southeast asia. A meal at roadside food stall in TL (or we called it "warong" in Bali) would cost $3 atleast. Meanwhile you can have full day meals in Bali for same amount of money. Anyhow, TL need to use their local currency it's been 20 years since independence. Edit: after watching this video i have to say the facilities arent good enough to warrant that price. Im sorry.
