Happy Independence !!

On 16th September 1975, Australian flag was replaced by a new flag of a newly-born country, Independent state of Papua New Guinea. This year marks 35 years of its independence.
People who normally don't think about the country become very patriotic for this moment, national flags all over the places, people wearing PNG flag-designed shirts, caps and dresses. Celebrations going in the capital Port Moresby and other parts of the country.

Happy Birthday, Papua New Guinea !!

Thoughts for Independence

This is already September.....Christmas is almost coming and we are getting older !!
But before that, Papua New Guineans celebrate independence day on 16th Sep.
Papua New Guinea will be 35 years old, if it is human, graduated from schools, hopefully get married, and have certain position in the society....maybe.

Papua New Guinea is blessed with natural resources, gold, copper, oil, gas in the ground, Marine resources like Tuna, Timber and so on....
But I believe that real resources of the country is human being.

Without developing human resources properly, the country's wealth will be deprived by foreigners/politicians and nothing will be left for the future generations.

Education of children is vital for Papua New Guinea to be truly independent and walk on its feet, rather than being controlled by greedy outsiders even 35 years after independence.

Future of the country is on the shoulder of our children.

Freezing

It is very unusual weather in Germany (& Europe in general).
There should be a sign of spring by now, but we had big snow fall on Sunday - Freezing !!

End of very challenging year

2008 was very challenging year for many people. World economy collapsed, fuel prices jumped up and now gone done; multimillion -companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.

People kill each other in the world and natural disaster hit many places- earthquake, flood, drought, global warming, etc...

Here in PNG was no exception. Hotel cost is forever going up (esp. Port Moresby), food cost jumped because of high fuel cost but never gone down after fuel prices gone down - why ?

Highland Highway was cut off by landslide (in April), King Tides washed away seaside Hotel, etc... etc....

But as long as we are healthy and alive, we know we will come back and overcome all the difficulties. Never give up and keep going , PNG ! Bright future is waiting for you.

Merry Xmas from Papua New Guinea

Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year for you all !!

Christmas is around the corner

Being a Christian Nation (more than 90% is Christian in different congregations), Christmas is very important in Papua New Guinea.

Golden Shower Tree & Royal Poinciana (Flame Tree) decorate the town in Bright Yellow & Vivid Red from late November to December, commonly known as Red & Yellow Christmast trees.

Unlike London, Paris or New York, PNG does not have enough money to have illuminated Christmas Trees on the street, but is blessed with Natural Christmas Trees !

Blue sky is back !!

After almost 2 weeks of rain (very unusual in here !), Blue sky is back in Port Moresby and rest of the country.

Birdwatchers from Germany visited Mt Hagen, Kiunga, Tabubil and were very lucky to avoid rains; while most parts of PNG had rain, everywhere they went was fine weather, and brought sunshine to Port Moresby !!!
It must be a German magic ??
