Last week of month July was one of the most memorable weekend I have ever have and as one of the best momentum in life that I will never forget. On that time, me with others Timorese friends include our beloved Ambassador, Diplomat and another Chinese friend, we went to one of the most beautiful and very traditional village located in the suburb of this metropolitan city of Beijing, which call Chuan Di Xia village for community outing. During our journey from Beijing to Chuan Di Xia, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery of the nature and their fantastic places that so fabulous.

Although the time was short, but in these 2 days of outing I have learned many valuable things and got so many great   experiences that will always stick on my heart in the rest of my life. I am also took this opportunity to know a little bit more about their culture and everyone were very enthusiast to know and to hear the unique history and culture of that place. The local people were very friendly and with open heart welcome us and we feel very comfortable and feel at home as well. While know deeply about their cultures and histories, I am also try their foods, fruits, and see lovely nature that so fantastic and I couldn’t describe them with words; very well organized, pure.  And Chuan Di Xia also has   many attractive places and unique that really   attract me and others friends, and we started to take a lots of photos as remembrance.

On the night we continued our schedule with some educative and fun activities such as presentation about our currently plan for Development of high way in Timor-Leste and saw the video of our people in Timor-Leste in the way how they do their small business in the field of agriculture, All of these were interesting. Every group presented their own show and that night brought to us very memorable and happy memory as well. We show our hidden talent that we have; tell the story, dance, drama and also sing Chinese songs. I realize that during this short time in Chuan Di Xia I have found many great experiences as I have mentioned   above, and those experiences are also like precious lesson for life and help me more to understand the true meaning of friendship. Help each other, learn from each are the sign of true friendship.  This country known as one of the most development and biggest country in the planet in many aspects, and their cultures are also have the same size as their land, big, unique and strong. I hope through these experiences each of us can take some important lesson for the benefit of our study and bring it back to our lovely fatherland Timor-Leste and share with our families, friends and develop our country for better future in the relevant area that we saw and experienced in Chuan Di Xia.  Wish everyone have healthy life, enjoyable life, and successful life as well   and may our friendship get stronger and much better now and forever. We are all the mirror of the development in our country, Do our best in life and the last but not the least is Once become a friends always become a friends…..we need each other and support each other as solid team to achieve our goal because team work makes the dream work.
