    This bought back a load of memories for me. I backpacked through PNG - for about a month by myself - in 1996. I made the journey up - as I went along - using a Lonely Planet guide and advice I got from locals. I flew to Port Moresby from Cairns and got a flight to Goroka where I stayed at a Christian mission (they put people up and it was also safer at the time) where I made friends with a local guy who took me to visit the Asaro Mudmen you see in the pic at 12:28. He also took me to a local school where I gave a talk to the kids about the UK (which was kind of fascinating for several reasons). After that I got a PMV to Mt.Wilhelm and found a guide - at a local lodge part way down - who took me up to the summit (about half a day's climb - but there's a path): I had to acclimatise first as it's about about 4500 metres. There was a tiny cabin at the top that you could stay in, if you contacted the right people beforehand to get a key. I stayed up there for a couple of days, on my own, wandering around just below the summit and taking pictures. It's above the clouds with a basin below, so the views are stunning- especially if you get up early to watch the sunrise. When the clouds clear you can see right into what was then called Irian Jaya (the Indonesian side of the island). On my way down the mountain I bumped into a load of villagers (dressed up in tribal gear) who'd got together to great PNG's Tourism Minister who'd just arrived in a helicopter! He was on a trip around the country to get local villages to open for tourists. It was total luck, because he took me in (he wanted to me to tell people about PNG when I got home) and I got a couple of days tour of the Highlands with his entourage and even went to a mass Sing-sing gathering. I then stayed in Mount Hagen for a few days at a place called Haus Poroman (which I don't think exists anymore). It was a lodge with these lovely roundhouses you could stay in and had stunning views. The woman who owned it was of mixed Papuan/white heritage and the daughter of one of the first Australians who went into the interior of PNG. She was absolutely fascinating to talk to. I then PMV'd it to a place called Tari and organised a charter flight, with a couple of other travelers I bumped into plus some locals, on a Twin Otter (a stunning flight across the Southern Highlands) to one of the villages where you find the Huli wigmen (pic at 12:26). I stayed a couple of days in their village where they gave a tour of their culture/face painting etc. For the last leg of my trip I flew to Wewak and (with a Norwegian guy I'd met in Tari) traveled to the Sepik where we found a local guide with a motorised long boat/canoe who took us on a several day trip on the Sepik and tributaries. We stopped at villages, during the evening, where they'd give us a place to stay (one night was in a 'spirit house' where they keep their carvings). Some of the villagers had only ever met maybe one or two other white people before (usually a missionary). It was quite an experience. At the end of the Sepik trip we crossed into the vast Chambri Lake which has 'villages'/houses literally built on stilts in the water several miles into the lake - it's almost unworldly and like something out of a sci-fi film. Finally I flew to Madang to fit in a day's dive trip (diving out of Madang is stunning with fantastic coral, sunken WW2 ships and a Japanese Zero fighter). I stayed a couple of nights on a small island in a little thatched bungalow run by locals (it was very cheap) and got the local dive operator to pick me up in the morning from their much more expensive hotel resort. I then flew back to Moresby and got a flight back to Cairns.
    It was an amazing experience. A little hairy at times - you have to be careful in PNG traveling alone (or at least you did then) - but I found the local people very friendly. If you make the effort to talk they'll take you in and go out of their way look after you (part of their culture). It wasn't cheap though. I was backpacking across the Pacific, so tried to keep my costs down to a minimum, but still spent a significant chunk of my budget on the four weeks I was in PNG. But it's something I've never forgotten or regret doing. I still have some of the local mask carvings I bought (I had to ship them back to the UK from Mount Hagen as I couldn't fit them in my rucksack).
    Couple of facts: A/ a lot of those areas you show in red *are* accessible by land transport. They're just not the main roads, but more dirt roads. I traveled on a load of them by PMV or an open back truck. That's how locals get around. However some of these roads you may not want to always travel on for convenience or (at least at the time I was there) could be dangerous. Some places are totally inaccessible by road and you need to get a charter flight in a small aircraft, but overall road accessibility is not like what you're suggesting. B/ The problems in Bougainville (at the time) also had a lot to do with western mining companies in tandem with the Papuan govt: who'd gone into the area and promised the locals to build infrastructure (schools, roads etc) in exchange for mining on their land, but hadn't kept their side of the bargain or just made a complete mess of it. This also massively contributed to the violence. C/ You mention the crazy PNG birds, but no mention of Cassowaries!?

    • @MrDragon1968
      @MrDragon1968 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ​@@drededninja13 Hi Yondo, it's a pleasure. Although I don't think I was brave, I was just a young middle-class Brit, who wanted to experience something outside of the norm of what I'd been used to. I was about 26/27 at the time, which I think had some advantages. Ie you're old enough to have a bit of life experience (and usually more money than younger backpackers - PNG is not a cheap or easy backpacker destination), whilst still young enough to not really have any serious personal responsibilities back home. All said, when I got back to Moresby, before I flew out, I bumped into a fifty-something British engineer (pretty hardened after spending his career working in far flung places) in the local hotel bar. I was proudly telling him of my adventures, and he jokingly said: 'so you just did the touristy bits then'. Apparently he'd just single handedly backpacked right through the middle of Irian Jaya (now called Papua), and across the Star Mountains into PNG. Some of these places were where no one else had ever been, other than the remote indigenous tribes who'd been there for a millennia. It kind of put my story into a slightly different perspective.
      Either way, it was a fantastic experience. I've never regretted it. I encourage people getting off the beaten track when ever traveling and actually learn something about the country they're visiting, instead of listening to prejudices from people who've never been there or only gone to some tourist resort. I was told by a lot of Aussies, beforehand, that I was crazy to back-pack in PNG, and certainly not to do it on my own. All of them said I should stay in some protected holiday resort. I ignored them of course. Backpacking in PNG can be risky and I think women may not want to backpack there on their own - although some do. However, I found that using common sense (ie just keeping an eye out for potential problems and avoiding them) and also making friends with local people very much mitigated that. I was met with a lot of kindness. I'm not sure if it's changed over the last 25 years, but I found that once you make friends with local Papuan's they're really interested and want to talk to you. They also often then see it as their personal duty to look after/protect you because of the particular tribal nature of their society.
      I backpacked throughout the Pacific at that time: I flew to the US and then to the Cook Islands, Fiji, Australia, PNG and finally spent a week in Hong Kong on my way home. The trip took about 4 and a 1/2 months. I loved every minute of it (I also worked as a dive guide/deck hand on a live aboard dive boat in the Coral Sea - lots of stories there), but the month I spent in PNG was something completely different.
      As for meeting different people - it really just kind of happens randomly. I've found that all the time when traveling. Traveling on your own can be lonely sometimes, but it also means you're far more likely to talk to other people and make connections. I made a ton of friends on that entire trip.

India took the Kashmir issue to UN and it was decided that elections would be conducted in Kashmir for knowing which country the people of Kashmir wanted to join India or Pakistan or remain as an independent nation. But there were conditions that India and Pakistan must remove all their army while India was allowed to keep a fixed amount of police force to ensure conduct. But Pakistan never complied to these conditions therefore Kashmir is still an issue. So who's mistake is it ?

      Wow, Russia? Thanks mate, and do you know that Russia did play a role in colonising a part of PNG? That was back in the late 19th centuary, 1860s somewhere around that time a Russian explorer - Nicholai Maclay, shored at Madang Province (Northen part of New Guinea) and settled with the locals for sometimes then sailed back to Russia. Hes decendants after so many decades finds out about Nicholai Macklays explicit discovery and contact with some indiginous tribe during his voyage and after many research they finaly get the location of the country and contact of the local tribe. Sometime later in mid 2000, all the way across the globe from Russia they flew to now Port Moreby city, then to Madang Province all the way to that exact local village along the coast to see and meet with the people whom their great great grand father once set foot and settled with these local tribe. They were totally surprised that everyone knows about who Nicholai Maclay was and his little history with their trbesmen and women of that era which was passed down oraly to the current generation. I heard that his family had built a monument for him before they left for Russia. Theres also a Nicholai Maclay Street in town named after this great Russian explorer.

It seems to be very authentic and exotic - at least for someone from Croatia or Europe in general like me. When I think of all the other countries this one seems to be least discovered, least explained and least westernized/globalized which makes it fantastic opportunity to get a glimps how the world once was in sence of diversity.

      The two codes split in the UK over the issue of paying players. Rugby league was the professional sport, rugby union was played by amateurs. Because rich people could afford the time for training without needing to be paid, rugby union became the "posh" code, played at private schools (known as "public schools" for some reason), while rugby league was the working class code, played especially in industrial areas. Originally the rules were the same, but they have drifted apart over time and are now quite different games, though they might look the same to an outsider. Rugby union is the big game in New Zealand, while rugby league is played in PNG.

    Union uses scrums, rucks and mauls and unlimited tackles to score a try/touchdown. Union you would find in College in America. The shortened formats are Rugby Union 7s and Rugby League 9s.
