Stretching Myself in Papua New Guinea

 

It looks as if it is on for Papua, New Guinea for me in Nov. and to be honest I wasn’t really sure where that was until looking at a map. All I had to go on was some things Max said and that really made me think twice. My conclusion is to go even after doing some online research myself. While I do like my Ritz and Hyatt luxury I also like to stretch a bit sometimes. The place is biologically diverse and filled with strange creatures. There are still some tribal stuff going on and some law and order issues. On the upside a few nights living in a tribal village is an experience that is tough to turn down. I will follow this advice from Lonely Planet though.

Always keep at least K50 ‘raskol money’ in your pocket to appease any would-be thief. Hide the rest of your money in a money belt or your shoe.
