- Most villages are agricultural communities
- It pays to be in town on market day
- The colour, bustle and smell of the markets. Each piece carefully laid out
- Yes, that is a satellite dish in the front yard
- The local tobacconist
Once out of Dili we find ourselves riding through many small villages consisting of traditional huts and people engaged in agriculture. Villages come alive on market day and are rich with the colour, bustle and smell of the markets. Each piece of fruit and vegetable is laid out carefully and you may even see some horse trading.
