A new petrol station is being constructed at lightning speed in Becora. 2 weeks ago... it was still a dull construction site, now there is a high roof and a bright red banner declaring that it is "Zhong Di Petrol" or something like that, along with huge Chinese characters. I was like 'whoaaa' when i passed it a few days ago because it was like a piece of China had been transplanted here. You see signs and slogans on walls in China everywhere proclaiming virtues that everyone should practise... for me, the bright red banner at the petrol station jogged those memories.It's not bad though. I mean, they are investing money here.... and look at the gi-mongous complex they are building for the Foreign Affairs Ministry... i'll be curious to see how the Chinese embassy will look like once they start building.. the plot of land for the embassy has long been cleared up, the crumbling houses knocked over, and the area fenced up .... but nothing's been moving for months... considering the speed of Chinese workers, i'm guessing they might be having some land issues which is stopping them from starting... anyways, let's see...
Update: Thanks FOS for the insight on why the Embassy hasn't broken ground yet... and you know, sometimes i do feel like a tumbleweeK...my weeks tumble so fast....
Hello tumbleweek. Apparently, according to Dili rumour, the Chienese can start building their embassey once they have finished building the new foreign ministry.
