How the day goes | Last Days, First Days
https://lastdaysfirstdays.wordpress.com/2007/03/06/how-the-day-goes
Last Days, First Days. Leaving Dubai, coming to Dili. How the day goes. March 6, 2007 in Timor. It’s hard to say when this day actually began. I guess it was at 1:10 am, when I woke up, and Tom was awake, and my Bose headphones were still on my head but switched off so that the noise-canceling was not operating. So I could hear the generator quite plainly. But it’s just who I am. It’s my biochemistry, my blessing and my curse, to feel things so acutely. It’s the same physiology that makes me pron...Peopl...

Foreigner price | Last Days, First Days
https://lastdaysfirstdays.wordpress.com/2007/02/20/foreigner-price
Last Days, First Days. Leaving Dubai, coming to Dili. February 20, 2007 in Timor. The currency in East Timor is the US dollar. That’s what you pay with at stores, and that’s what you get out of the cash machine. This despite the fact that there’s no strong American presence (they even still like us here), and there’s no significant American economic interests (the government owns the oil development in consortium with Australians). Meanwhile, an excellent salary. Working for a nongovermental foreign orga...
