Edition 3 of “Guide Post” is out. For those that remember, it is the current English language community newspaper published in a form similar to the “Timor Sun”.

It contains social news, the odd re-print of news articles and press releases and lots of advertising.

But this week, I learned that :

• “vasco da gama” restaurant has a new menu – I already knew that

• The British Embassy has closed its doors here – I knew that too.

• Plaza Hotel has internet in all rooms (like Hotel Dili) – also knew that one.

• Com resort is open again.

• The property section is getting bigger.

• But the big one was the full page ad for US$2 per hour internet at 2 Timor Telecom (TT) outlets thus under-cutting all of the internet cafes who have no alternative but to buy bandwidth from TT.

And there is more.

It is now available by email by request to :
