Things I've learned in PNG
- Opening a coconut with a bush knife (machete) is NOT as easy as locals make it look and should NOT under any circumstances be attempted by inexperienced white girl.
- Wearing a swish blazer over head to toe army fatigues is a pretty rocking look.
- The 'sitting next to a crazy person on the bus experience' is a lot more entertaining in Pidgin.
- Cockroaches can fly.
Things we say in PNG
"I can't wait to get back to Australia so that I can treat my fungal infection."
"Shut up and drink your coconut."
"Who wants to crush up our doxy and try and snort it?"
