On today's...
- Oddest day ever. 2 weeks ago I taught my first class in Tok today. It was about table manners and eating correctly. It went something like this: "Wen Aunties kissim yu lo kai, yu mas no be humbug. Yu mas kai kai isi isi. You mas passim mous. Yu noken putim ol sandwich lo maus bilong yu, yu mas takim liklik tasol. Kai, em...

So 28 years after I vowed NEVER to enter a school room again, I'm back. My 'job' consists mainly of sitting on a stool telling 3-4 year olds to 'listen' and...

Not just big pimples, blind ones, but boils as big as plums. In your lady garden. Or, as in my current case, under my arm pit. There a fact of life up here. Learn...
- Beautiful Madang 4 weeks ago Worth every kidney-jarring pot hole on the six hour trip. All the above photos were taken at Jais Aben resort. Stop what you're doing and go there now!

Her blog is seriously funny stuff! About life in PNG which is not always funny, but is definitely interesting. She paints a detailed picture for those who not yet traveled there. And she makes us want to.
