Independent Timor Leste

Viva a Republica Democratica de Timor Leste! Viva o Poro de Timor Leste Livree Independence! Just ten years ago Timor Leste (East Timor) became independent, but only two months ago the UN Peace keeping forces left the country.

Timor Leste is very different to any other Asian country, people  speak Portuguese and Tetum, the official currency is US dollars and the main religion is Roman Catholic. Population is only one million. Many NGOs are here to help the new country, rebuilding the infrastructure destroyed and damaged in years of war and struggle. Tourism doesn't exist yet.
