When I was at the WTO 2 years ago, I made out with an Australian that told me that he thought that Australia was the only place he had been to that was more racist than the USA. Can't make a call on that, never having been to Australia. But I'd be pretty disgusted if that was going on in my country.
Anyhow, I came up with a great idea for how to go to East Timor without paying for it and without scamming a NGO. I am going to apply after I get advanced to candidacy for a travel grant my school gives to grads for $$ to go to Australia to talk to Australian Irish dancers and dressmakers. And then I can just hop on over to East Timor. Sound feasible and cheap? I may have to ask you in a few years if we both still are on livejournal for your advice on how to go.
