For ADAM - New country

[joelsantos]

Hello, Adam!

I'm new here and today I was trying to upload a photo from East-Timor when I found that this county is not in the list. Can you please add it?

East-Timor is the first nation of the new millennium and I have some pictures I would like to share, as I believe they're a valuable contribution to the knowledge about it's geography and culture.

You can check the photo in the "Portugal--> Lisbon" (which is incorrect) gallery for more info.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Joel Santos

Hi Joel!

Nice to see you here! I believe the official name of this new nation is Timor-Lorosae.

Thanks, José!

Lorosa'e (tétum) = sol nascente (portuguese) = rising sun (english) = east

Tétum is a dialect and, in fact, when they refer to their own country they still use that word. Nevertheless, I believe the international name is "East-Timor" ("Timor-Leste", in Portuguese, which is also their national language since they became independent).

Thanks for the reply.

Best regards,

East Timor has been added and your photo has been moved to Dili. Thanks for letting me know.
