The mount, well that could be even worse.

Pack side arm in carry on and remember that chewing beetle nut on the aircraft is not allowed. Please refrain from smoking until inside the terminal?


So many stories to tell about PNG. Like the golf players employing gaurds with bows and arrows to protect themselves, unfortunately the raskals have machine guns and used them during my stay. Kinda like "that's not a knife".

There is no value on life there. I suspect I will never go back to PNG. I dined somewhere (next to Parliment) that had bullet holes still in the wall from a recent episode where a business partner of mine along with all other diners had been held up whilst eating. He neglected to mention that one before we agreed on setting up a venture there. I eventually got so sick I had to get out of there quick and I can tell you I have never enjoyed an aircraft rotation leaving a country as much as this one. I kissed my money and PNG goodbye.

It is a fantastic country with great beauty but there are real risks. I wish you safe travels if you choose to do it. Heck maybe trouble just follows me. Good luck anyway.
