In Timor one can find quite the mix of goods. For example, in one store I can find grocery staples from Indonesia, Portugal, Brazil, China, Thailand and Singapore.

Recently I was scouring the shelves looking for face moisturiser with SPF in it. My freckly skin is prematurely ageing after almost four years in the tropics.

I was rather amused, then, to find that I could reverse the effects of ageing with a healthy dose of Placenta.

Cause, you know, why the heck not. And at $3.55, it’s quite the bargain.

And continuing with the lady bits for medicinal usage theme, today I came across this little beauty.

Nothing like a cervical collar to ward off a little dose of whiplash.

I wonder what I’ll find next…

ETA: one of my twitter peeps has just told me that a cervical collar IS A THING? Totally weird, man…
