Special leave from my normal job in the Pictorial Section of the Library allowed me to work as an interpreter in East Timor on an AusAID project. I arrived in Dili, East Timor, on 4 September 2000 after a 1 hour 50 minute flight from Darwin. The airport is very small and is patrolled by the peacekeeping forces. The officials who checked my passport were locals. Margaret Thomas, the Australian coordinator for AusAID met me when I arrived.
