Papua New Guinea

"Summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."
Henry James

Spending the dusk in Papua New Guinea will probably present you the same feelings which Henry James has. Situated in Oceania, occupying the eastern half of the island of New Guinea and numerous offshore islands, this piece of land is like a beautiful spot in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Its capital, and one of its few major cities, is Port Moresby.


It is one of the most miscellaneous countries on Earth, with over 850 original languages and at least as many conventional societies, out of a populace of just under 6 million. It is also one of the most rural, with only 18 per cent of its people living in urban centres. The country is also one of the world's least explored one, culturally and geographically, and many undiscovered species of plants and animals are believed to live in the interior of Papua New Guinea.

The culture of Papua New Guinea is multifaceted and complex. It is projected that more than a thousand different cultural groups exist in this isle. Because of this diversity, many different styles of cultural expression have emerged; each group has created its own expressive forms in art, dance, weaponry, costumes, singing, music, architecture and much more.
