Airways Hotel Port Moresby

If i'm completely honest I was a bit apprehensive about arriving in Port Moresby after all the stories i'd heard, including stats such as having the third highest murder rate in the world and being the most corrupt city in the world, but I was also conscious of the fact that most of the horror stories had come from people who had never been and were giving me accounts of incidents that had been refined over time to only ...

... 8211; to the resort. Our itinerary, fortunately, calls for a few hours&#8217; chillin&#8217; at the Tufi Dive Resort, so Simon very kindly allowed us access to a room, where we could shower and re-sort our bags. Lovely. I took my journal out to the veranda to write and have a cup of non-nescafe coffee.<br><br>We had curry (nums!) for lunch. Talked with Simon a bit about the number of missing WWII aircraft: he says that there are over 100 allied aircraft ...

... good degree of confidence, that Port Moresby is a dump. Glad we&#8217;re not spending any time here.<br><br>Jane, our guide, pointed out the illegal settlements, filled with people from the outer areas who come, expecting to find work, but who find trouble instead. We drove on the one "freeway" &#8211; no traffic, but it is Sunday afternoon &#8211; to the business district. The drive goes past a few remaining government offices (most have moved elsewhere), then a landfill, to ...

Amba was seated next to the window and i was next to her in the middle, with a man to my right. When we were in the air, the Japanese (assumed) next to me moved over to the middle rows - thank goodness because i don't think i could have sat next to him for 9hrs. In front of us we had a middle-aged lady with crazy curly hair and glasses and a teen/early 20's guy with those creepy albino eyelashes - like Ron Weasley in Harry Potter has. We got water ...

... qui m'a conseillé quelques hôtels, j'ai rien dit mais ce sont uniquement les hôtels très haut de gamme. Ouais, ca existe aussi, il y a des touristes qui viennent et descendent dans des hôtels ou lodge très luxueux et ne sortent pas dans les rues. Pareil, je prends les mini-bus qui servent de transport en commun, je peux t'assurer qu'ils ne voient pas beaucoup de blancs dans ces bus. De même, en centre ville, je n'ai jamais croisé un blanc, pas un ...

... it was a pleasure and a privilege to walk with you. I made a brief speech to thank the Buna Boys and presented the guitar to Rob Roy who accepted it on behalf of the Buna Village. Hopefully they'll think of us when they play it. Then it was all-aboard the bus back to the Holiday Inn at Port Moresby. Another buffet tea, debrief, then off to bed - as we were due to be at the airport at 0440 to check-in for the flight home.

... out from under the bed. Rachel sprayed it and we finished getting ready for bed. I was on the top bunk that night, (we rotate beds since only one of the beds is comfortable,) and I crawled up there and began writing in my journal. I look over at the window right next to my bed in time to see the biggest roach I have ever seen crawling up the screen! I don't know how many of you know this about me , but I do not like big roaches! Little ones..ok fine...but not big ...

... they just said because they also get embarrassed very easily, but I cannot hear them! After that class we had an RI class there, too. Later that day we had a class with Marcus about their church planting here and it was really interesting to hear about their ups and downs and how they dealt with all of it. We also had a meeting about our Trobriand Island trip that is going to happen next week. We are going to do a survey trip that is supposed to help the missionaries know if ...

... know that I really do need your prayers! I have realized that God's will is the only way I am here and that He is the only way I am going to make it with great experiences, both good and bad! Now for the funnier part of my email! Friday, the 8th, we got up and went to cut sago (say the name of each vowel to pronounce the word). Now, there are several things you should know about sago. One, to the people of Papua New Guinea, the sago tree ...
