Timor Leste

Dili

From September 4th to September 5th 2025

Stay:

Palm Springs Hotel

When we checked into the hotel we noticed a camera crew was in the lobby. It wasn’t too long before we realized they were filming us, and were filming the check in process. It seemed like they were filming a promotional video of the hotel, showing the whole checkin process, bag service, welcome drink from the bar, friendliness of staff, etc. But after we got checked in, they then approached us asking to interview us on why we selected the hotel. Max told them it was because the hotel was the most modern and that it also had air conditioning. Hailey’s interview wasn’t much more charming because she mentioned being relieved that the bags didn’t get lost. It was a funny moment, we weren’t sure if they just happened to be there on the same day we were checking in, or if they came in for us specifically. The interviewer called Max, Mark.
