"It's PNG....And I am in the middle of it all."

Some of the usual sights around Madang town. There's so much to tell and so few words to express the culture and beauty of PNG. I hope these photos help to create a colorful picture for you! Kalibobo Lighthouse


Cooking bananas and taro, staple food of island provinces.

Yes, this is a baby in a bilum hanging from a tree! Women also carry their babies in bilums strapped across their foreheads.

Women outside the school selling buai for the teachers and ice blocks (in the cooler) for the children. Ice blocks are like freeze pops---frozen, colored sugar water.
