Same, the capital of Timor-Leste's Ainaro District, is located about 50 kilometers south of the capital, Dili, in the mountainous interior and is an important agricultural and transportation hub for the country. It is known for its coffee farming, surrounded by terraced fields that produce Timor-Leste's premium Arabica coffee beans. Historically, Samu was an important stronghold during Timor-Leste's War of Independence, and remnants of the resistance movement still remain in the area, attracting history buffs to explore. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty and close to Mount Ramelau, Timor-Leste's highest peak, making it a stopover for hiking enthusiasts. A blend of traditional Timacu culture and modern townscape, Samu offers a unique look at the interior of Timor-Leste.
Alfata is a small, quiet town of about 3,000 inhabitants in the Silistra region of southeastern Bulgaria, with a predominantly agrarian economy that produces cereals, sunflowers and other crops.

Although it is not a popular tourist destination, its peaceful atmosphere and primitive rural landscape provide a unique perspective for tourists to experience the real life in Bulgaria.
