In a heart beat. - Nov 2013
Yes. We have two small children and we love it here. The school is good and it's safe and friendly. The pace of life is slower here and takes some getting used to after being in DC, but the beach and small town atmosphere of Dili are great. - Apr 2013
Because of the differential, student loan repayment and availability of help, yes. Just come with a good attitude, that makes ALL the difference. If you are in the state department you signed up for a job thats a wild ride and with lots of adventure. Nothing irks me more then people who complain about posts that can be great fun if you just change your perspective. If you come to Dili you will only be here for two years, make the best of it!! - Mar 2010
Yes, my family is very happy here in Dili. - Feb 2010
