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

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.

Much love from Portugal to our lusophone brothers from Timor-Leste.💕💕

As a Portuguese citizen I have always had a love and respect for Timor-Leste. I hope to one day make a trip out there. 🇵🇹❤️🇹🇱

Hi Andrew, thank you for posting the video of this beautiful country ( Timor l'est ). 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. Today 19/12/2022 Mr Luis Cardoso a famous timor writer was here in Maputo-Mozambique giving a talk in national TV. "Muitos cumprimentos para todos os irmãos de Timor lest" Mozambique 🇲🇿❤️🇹🇱 Timor lest.

Selamat Natal untuk saudara-saudara ku di Timor-Leste ❤ salam dari Jakarta ya. Damai Kristus beserta kalian semua.

Much love to Temor from Portugal ♥️

Timor Leste-people are so nice, polite and kind. I love Timor-Leste

Thanks for showing us Dili/Timor, where I always wanted to go and still have not lost hope. Desde 🇵🇹, um grande abraço aos nossos irmãos timorenses e a Timor Lorasai! Que Deus vos abençoe. 🙏❤️ 🇹🇱 ❤️🇵🇹

Timorenses love portuguese an the portuguese love Timor people ,

In the third grade of primary school I learned a little about East Timor, because it was obligatory for us in Cape Verde to study the geography of the Portuguese colonies. But that was in 1963. God bless Timor Leste

Um abraço de Portugal. Que lindo ver os edifícios e igrejas como aqui.

Selamat membangun negeri sendiri sesuai keinginan, semoga menjadi negeri yang makmur, damai dan sejahtera 🙏

O Timor-Leste é um dos países que eu quero visitar 🇧🇷

Thank you mate For visiting our beloved country Timor-Leste🇹🇱. As a Timorense I'm so happy for your polite narrations about our Country🇹🇱. Thank you mate, God bless you. 🙌 You got many love ❤️ from 🇹🇱 :)🤝

Thanks a lot for exploring our beloved country and to show the world to know us🇹🇱♥️🙏

My partner is Portuguese/Timorense and we live in London. The city is more developed than I thought! That’s quite nice!

I still remember the conflict in Timer Lester after I left my country in Southeast Asia in the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Later, this country celebrated its historic moment (not sure in what year until you mentioned 2002) for its independence. Congratulations 🎊

Hi Andrew. I am from Timor Leste, and I am so grateful you've made this lovely video about our country, especially with the background story. It''s a great feeling to know that, little by little, people are getting to learn more about this young country. So once again, thank you for sharing.

A todos os irmãos de Timor-Leste aqui vai um abraço de Angola.

Damai dan maju selalu Timor Leste salam dri Indonesia

Hi Andrew, thank you for posting the video of this beautiful country. New Friend from Indonesia

Liked your video - Thanks for visiting and sharing it with the world to see. It's yet still a long way to prosper, but hey, we have got our freedom back. The 12th of November was the turning point for the world to see what was happening in Timor as Indonesian isolated Timor, and it was almost impossible for foreigners to visit.

Thanks big exploring our beloved country!!

As a Portuguese man i fill very said about the neglect.

Thank you very much brother for coming to visit my country because you can do video coverage for my nation East Timor-Leete🇹🇱

Fui muito feliz em Timor-Leste

lugar lindo, falo do Brasil

I am from East Timor and grown up there. But now I am living in Singapore 🇸🇬 . Missing that place

Hi, Andrew thank you for making this video for exploring my beloved country ( minha terra amada) Timor Leste.

❤️🇵🇹

Thank you for visiting Timor leste and thank you for give $3 for taxi driver, if others people will bargain first before they hoping to taxi

thank you so much for this video! bless you brother

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!

I am so interested this country... Based on videos i watch and your video, the place was so cool, less car, very peaceful, can you please share how to go that place??? Im from philippines

Thanks mate for explored my country, as what you sayed it was truly history that happened many years ago, during the World War 2. However each country arround world / all over the world has their own history, and they tooke thousands of years to develop their country, So as the youngest country in the world we thanksfully to God for our freedom as it cost tears and blood to get the freedom, I have readed the history of other country and it was worse than ours. Step-by-step every development is going forward and it will be beautyfull and attract country a mong the Asia nation. aproveite o seu dia em Timor-Leste, Muito obrigado, mano.

Welcome

Timor Leste 🙌🙌🙌

Wao new country

Thanks for visiting our country 🇹🇱

Obrigada pelo visitar a nossa nação.

obrigado por este video, adorei muito, mas alguns caso aqui que nós precisamos de ver foi os custo dos vestuários, uma camisa 25$ foi muito estranho, por isso sugeri para os estrangeiros que querrem vir aqui, não podem sozinhos se não eles vão mentir principalmente sobre os custos das coisas. exemplo: uma camisa o custo é 8$ ou 10$, mas no video disse que 25$ então aqui já muito inaceitável. espero que vocês leiam para não acontecem com vocês.

I really enjoyed your video brother.. It's a great video about Dili City. Actually there are many places and nice building you will see that built by Portuguese if you visit in the municipality like oecusse, Aileu, Baucau,.

❤

BOASFESTA DO SANTU NATAL 2022 ANO NOVU 2023....AMENNNNNNN....
