Independence Day – East Timor
Nov 28 is celebrated by some groups as Independence Day.
The ASDT political supporters were in traditional garb playing musical instruments along the beach.
I am told that there are several different independence days depending on what political party you are affiliated with.
These folks were from the Same sub-district.
Some of them had been fighters in the resistance against Indonesia.
They were a colorful and friendly lot.
There were some palm wine vendors along the beach so it looked like it was going to turn into a big party by nightfall.
