Exclave of Timor-Leste, completely surrounded by West Timor. Was the first place the portugese settled on Timor.

In the evening ran by the local rotary club, where i got another backpacker i met online to come as well, that did a showing of max stahls footage and more. We met so many locals (only foreigners there!) and joined to place candles around a national monument.

then got dinner and chatted for hours.

Today (12th) was a national holiday here to remember the santa cruz massacre (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_C...), so me and someone from the hostel went to see the cemetery where it took place (and a hindu temple nearby)

met up with a local he met yesterday and got invited to this memorial service

The amount of people who just drive on the side walk and do illegal uturns is just ...

And then crossing the road you have hoards of bikes turning left making basically impossible to cross even with the green man

the traffic in vietnam terrifies me.

i was taking a grab bike around HCMC yesterday and never felt more afraid for my life

I was thinking of it as a way of c2 coms, looking for signed messages posted to sites you normally browse, but the staged dropper approach probably makes more sense than my idea

I was sus at the bed sheets having red stains on them, but when i checked the mattress i saw none of the normal signs.

but then lol one just appears on the wall

Now i gotta do laundry and find a new place...
