Cape Fatucama - Timor-Leste
At the top of the mountain on Cape Fatucama stands a statue of Jesus Christ, that is often compared to Rio’s Christ the Redeemer. The cape is only a short drive from the Capital of Dili, and offers a great view of the Banda Sea. The stairs leading up to the statue feature more Jesus monuments, depicting important events in Jesus life, including the last supper, and his crucifixion. Locals who visit the site usually light candles, and say prayers on the walk up to the statue.
On the beaches below and along the rest of the cape, swimming, snorkeling and fishing are great options to escape the heat.
About Me
Thank you @galadrieljones for tagging me <3
Rules: answer the 20 questions and tag 20 amazing followers you would like to get to know better.
Name: Lidia
Nickname: Lids, Lid-yah (my parents’ lazy way to call me), Fi-ju/Fei-ju/Huìzhū [慧珠] (rarely used varied pronunciations of my Chinese name), Lid-face, One-eyed-ibis (thanks cousins).
Zodiac sign: Cancer
Height: 5′6″/ 169cm
Orientation: I would say I’m more pansexual, and used to identify as bisexual. I just know I will like who I like regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or preferred pronoun.
Ethnicity: Chinese & 1/16th Timorese (I hope I did the maths right). Possible Mongolian ancestry too?
Favorite fruit: Mango. I like the dried mangoes, green mangoes, the kind where it’s half green/ripe, mango nectar … ALL THE MANGOES.
Favorite season: Autumn & Winter, because layers <3
Favorite book series: I don’t think I’ve read a whole proper series of books except Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr and Twlight series by Stephenie Meyer, all read during high school/a few years after high school when I used to read a lot. I know I liked a few select books of a book series that I read ages ago, but never read the whole series. A few that come to mind:
M’Lady Witch from the Warlock’s Heirs series by Christopher Stasheff
Murder in the Dark from Phryne Fisher series by Kerry Greenwood (the TV series adaptation is fantastic, go watch Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries if you can)
Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code from the Robert Landon series by Dan Brown
and Valiant: A Modern Faerie Tale from the Modern Faerie Tales series by Holly Black.
Also, does manga count? Because so many manga (Sailor Moon, Angel Sanctuary, Pet Shop of Horrors, Tokyo Ghoul; to name a few).
Favorite flower: Lotus. Or water lily. Or peonies. Or succulents …
Favorite scent: Citrus. Lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit, mandarin (tangerines) … all them good smells
Favorite color: Mint, or light/soft version of green/blue. I’m also fond of peach/pastel orange.
Favorite animals: PANDAS, red pandas, giraffes, elephants, sea otters, fennec, almost all baby animals.
Coffee, tea or cocoa: Tea/Cocoa, mostly just soy/almond green tea/chai/rose. I used to drink coffee but can’t anymore because tummy aches but I do love the smell of coffee.
Average sleep hours: It’s either 4 hours or 12+, there is no in between.
Cat or dog person: BOTH.
Favorite fictional characters: This is really difficult, but also pretty obvious if you look through my likes … Solas, Thane, and Garrus fill most of it … others were, and not limited to, Xena, The Doctor, River Song, Tommy and Kimberly from Power Rangers because one of my earliest OTP without knowing what OTP was, and all the major characters from Sailor Moon (even the ‘bad guys’).
Number of blankets you sleep with: One duvet folded in half, so acts like 2 layers really.
Dream trip: Japan & Korea (actually going soon 2017!), Portugal, Timor Leste, Taiwan (been once before but didn’t get to really explore), Ireland (my friend hyped this place up having done exchange study there, and I’m fond of the accents), and maybe London?
Blog created: I had to check. 2010. But wasn’t as ‘active’ until 2015 maybe? I changed my blog name a few times over the years though.
Number of followers: Currently 162 <3 I don’t know what’s interesting about my page, but thank you for following me :’)
