There seems to be a change in the way things are done today in Dili. There are many Australian Federal Police in the streets and no Australian soldiers or armored vehicles to speak of. They must have been shifted to other duties.

The one way streets are back in effect. It is most annoying. It went so much smoother when all the streets were 2 way. Now it's back to zig zagging through town again. The helmet laws and all others had been put on hold for the last month partly because there were no police anywhere to enforce the laws.

After the murder of the police in the streets by the army in May there was no law and order at all until the Australian troops arrived. I think that street is still closed off as a memorial to the slain policemen where there are flowers and candles where they were killed.
