Hello Miguel, thanks for confirming the contact. You have an ope invitation to come over here anytime- just make sure you give me some notice first so I can make sure I am around. I have not been down to East Timor since November 1998- about time I made another visit I reckon :P

MIGUEL, great to hear from you! That is a compliment! I tend to see it as an economic engine establishment for the betterment of all our objectives...."stimulate the industry starting from its growers"... There are two stores...one in the heart of the city, the other in a neighborhood, east of the city.
I look forward to seeing you there.
