What should I pay attention to when I want to travel to East Timor?

The first thing to pay attention to is to prevent mosquito bites. There are tropical infectious diseases such as malaria and dengue fever in East Timor. If they are infected, it will not be worth the loss.

Don't wear suits and shorts for normal activities in East Timor, but wear trousers. It is better to sleep at night to prevent mosquitoes, and it is best to have mosquito nets. Mosquitoes in the room should be eliminated as much as possible.

Secondly, avoid going to unsafe places at night.

Third, East Timor is located in the tropics, with strong ultraviolet rays, so you can prepare sunglasses and sunscreen.

Fourth, local cars in East Timor drive with the right rudder on the left, just like cars in Japan, Australia and Indonesia. If you drive locally, you should always keep the driver close to the center line of the road.
