Dili 1967

'was sent this picture from a colleague. I'm sorry i don't know who the photographer was and therefore cannot duely credit him/her. So if anyone knows, please inform me. Tks! Besides the Palacio, you can still see Acait building, and the site of the former Hello Mister was filled with trees! THe entire area near Mercado Lama and Balide was also full of trees. I am just glad that for now, there are still some big trees in the vicinity of the Palacio - the roads there are the shadiest and i really hope there'll be no more hacking down of old trees! Dili needs the fresh oxygen that they create! I heard from some colleagues that Dili also was greener during Indonesian times and also cleaner - on fridays there used to be mass cleaning up of public areas.... now, sometimes at night, i have seen people lobbing off old trees possibly to burn for firewood! sigh.......
