how would you know

What makes PNG as it is? Many things are the same as Australia - I live in an Australian style house in a street full of Australian style houses with manicured lawns and hedges. But the yards have coconut, pawpaw and banana trees and pineapple bushes. The roads are pot-holed and streaked with red spittle from buai chewing. The women (meri) are shorter and slimmer 130cm tall, 35kg mass) often barefooted and carry a bilum bag by wearing the strap across their forehead with the bilum bag on their back stretched full with produce from the market. People walk more slowly in groups - it is not rare but unusual for people to walk solitarily. They wear logod clothing which in most cases have been bought from second hand clothing shops. When I first saw someone with a logod tshirt that I was familiar with I nearly committed a faux pas and asked if they knew so and so and then I realised that wearing a logo did not necessarily associate the wearer with the place. The Professor of Chemistry wears a State Rail uniform shirt for instance - State Rail of NSW Australia that is - when clearly he has never worked for State Rail.
Asde I saw the con -man again (bulsitman they call him in Tok Pisin). I said to him that I hadn't seen him near my house and he said he had shifted residence.
