Timor-Leste

Send us Fan MailThe island of #timor is split. The west side of the island is part of Indonesia and the east part of the island is...East Timor AKA Timor-Leste if you're speakin Portuguese. And East Timor is EXACTLY where were going to on our 20th episode!!!Despite it being a Portuguese colony for over 500 years, they've only been on their own official country for about 20. So it's still a baby when it comes to the official legislative country UN whatever mumbo-jumbo. There are many things that make this place different than other Southeast Asian countries. They are Catholic. They eat pork. A percentage of the populations speaks Portuguese. They are kind of a fish out of water which is exactly what we get into! You know the feeling, where you feel kind of out of place and don't belong? Yep, that's kind of like Timor-Leste. We also get into eating sea mammals. Not that we condone ever eating a whale BUT if it was a life or death situation an you HAD TO eat a whale creature...some surely are more appealing than some others, right?! Maybe not. Who knows. Have you been to Timor-Leste? Tell us what we missed or what we (hopefully) got right!Support the show
