When I was working in Port Moresby one of my workmates took me to this amazing PNG cultural show just outside Port Moresby. Tribes from all over PNG were represented in their different cultural dress. Notice how each group have their own distinctive dress and dancing style. Normally you have to go up into the mountains to see this sort of thing so I was really lucky. Welcome to PNG! :)
