You know you are in Papua New Guinea when…

Some unique cultural observations and fun stuff we’ve experienced here in PNG…

You know you are in PNG when….

  • – when your 3-year old kid asks you, “Daddy, are we on city power or generator power?”
  • - when instead of running out of their rooms crying with fear and trembling because there is a gecko in the room in Taiwan…Abby -and Kala actually cheer with jubilation when they see them next to their bed.
  • - when you see a guy on the street with no shirt, no shoes…and talks on a cell phone.
  • - when Wayne holds hand with his language helper (a man) and walks around the neighborhood (it is quite normal here for guys to hold hands publicly)…
  • - when there is an airport pickup, we don’t actually go to the airport until we see the plane flies over our heads…and THEN we get on a car and go to the airport.

PNG, land of the unexpected…
