Asakiyume mita

Dear Asakiyume,

I just wanted to say you for thinking me awesome. Your article title really impressed my three sons who have been treating me with a healthy dose of respect since reading what you wrote about me. Your style is really light and humorous but you have done your homework and that is refreshing. Thank you also for your good wishes for my recovery from breast cancer. I am now back in Dili and busy doing the stuff I do for women and kids.

There is some silly stuff going on with Australia which is proving an unpleasant distraction at present.

Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and please keep writing about Timor-Leste.

Warm wishes,

Kirsty Sword Gusmao
