EAST TIMOR, South-East Asia's newest nation, near Indonesia.
Independence has brought mixed fortunes to this recovering war zone, and it remains a country in transition. But it has fine beaches, colonial towns, rugged mountains and a lush interior.
Capital : Dili
Country population : 857,000
East Timor is the eastern half of the island of Timor. The western half is still under Indonesian administration, and many East Timorese refugees still reside there, although the majority have now returned.
East Timor is a stunning sight (especially from the air) as it's ringed by miles of sandy beaches and a deep bluish-green sea. At its center, toothy-edged mountains jut skyward covered by thick green forest, and on misty days it has the look of paradise found.
This exotic destination, certainly not yet on most tourist's agenda, is the world's newest nation and now officially recognized by the United Nations and the other countries on the planet.

RAJAHMUNDRY, Andhra Pradesh
coastal town on the river Godavari and the Bay of Bengal
Raja Mahendri or Raja Mahendravaram. It was the first capital of any known Telugu Kingdom. The Chalukya ruler Rajaraja Narendra ruled this city around 1022. The city has traces of 11th century fine palaces, and fort walls. However, new archeological evidence suggests that the city may have existed far before the Chalukyas. In the Middle Ages, it was called Raja Mahendra Varam. Later the name underwent various changes to Rajahmahendravaram, Rajahmahendramu, Rajamandramu and Rajahmundhri. It later became Rajahmundry during British rule.
Asia's largest rail-cum-road bridge on the river Godavari linking Kovvur and Rajahmundry is considered to be an engineering feat.

Eritrea was awarded to Ethiopia in 1952 as part of a federation. Ethiopia's annexation of Eritrea as a province 10 years later sparked a 30-year struggle for independence that ended in 1991 with Eritrean rebels defeating governmental forces; independence was overwhelmingly approved in a 1993 referendum. A two-and-a-half-year border war with Ethiopia that erupted in 1998 ended under UN auspices in December 2000. Eritrea currently hosts a UN peacekeeping operation that is monitoring a 25 km-wide Temporary Security Zone on the border with Ethiopia. An international commission, organized to resolve the border dispute, posted its findings in 2002 but final demarcation is on hold due to Ethiopian objections.
