I spent Tuesday to Friday in Moresby. Wednesday was a security briefing in light of the Madang events and I used Thursday arvo and Friday to work from the Moresby SCiPNG office.
Today was a wonderful day. Jason, his folks and I went to a part of Kamaliki village that I had never been to for a swim. There was a patch of sand where the locals setup the volleyball net for us and joined us for a game or two. We swam in the river, had mambu chicken, which one of Jason's friends prepared for us, played volleyball and headed back home. It was one of my favourite experiences in PNG.
In contrast to this, we went to a xmas party at the Pacific. While we scoffed down banana cake and quiches, a litte boy from the settlement climbed the tree on the other side of the fence and looked on with fascination. I soon forgot about him though as the beer took hold.
Quite a night. It seems that somehow I can justify both extremes with no problems at all.
