PNG June 2005

Felt bored and was browsing through my pictures folder and thought it was a good idea to blog about my trip in June 2005. A little background... I was part of a consulting team engaged by the Government of Papua New Guinea. We were there for a couple of weeks and the series of photos are some of the sights of Port Moresby as well as some of the people that I met.

The building in the background is the Parliament of PNG. It is constructed in the style of a traditional Sepik River Haus Tambaran or Spirit House.

Behind me is the entrance to the Parliament House. The mosaic mural is a magnificient testimony to a culturally diverse and fascinating nation.

This is Bank South Pacific's HQ, notice the wonderful intricate design.


We were invited to the Malaysian High Commission for a small "makan-makan" session with other Malaysians.

The High Commission is a three storey bangalow facing the ocean.


The view from the High Commission was simply awesome.
