@@hanffamr Please don't comment without having prior knowledge. India took the Kashmir issue to UN and it was decided that elections would be conducted in Kashmir for knowing which country the people of Kashmir wanted to join India or Pakistan or remain as an independent nation. But there were conditions that India and Pakistan must remove all their army while India was allowed to keep a fixed amount of police force to ensure conduct. But Pakistan never complied to these conditions therefore Kashmir is still an issue. So who's mistake is it ?
In 6th grade I had to do a country report and out of my entire 6th grade class I was in the last 10 to be picked. I chose Papua New Guinea from my remaining options and it was a challenge! Happy to see it be represented here! Been waiting a long time! By the way, I got the “A” 😏
This bought back a load of memories for me. I backpacked through PNG - for about a month by myself - in 1996. I made the journey up - as I went along - using a Lonely Planet guide and advice I got from locals. I flew to Port Moresby from Cairns and got a flight to Goroka where I stayed at a Christian mission (they put people up and it was also safer at the time) where I made friends with a local guy who took me to visit the Asaro Mudmen you see in the pic at 12:28. He also took me to a local school where I gave a talk to the kids about the UK (which was kind of fascinating for several reasons). After that I got a PMV to Mt.Wilhelm and found a guide - at a local lodge part way down - who took me up to the summit (about half a day's climb - but there's a path): I had to acclimatise first as it's about about 4500 metres. There was a tiny cabin at the top that you could stay in, if you contacted the right people beforehand to get a key. I stayed up there for a couple of days, on my own, wandering around just below the summit and taking pictures. It's above the clouds with a basin below, so the views are stunning- especially if you get up early to watch the sunrise. When the clouds clear you can see right into what was then called Irian Jaya (the Indonesian side of the island). On my way down the mountain I bumped into a load of villagers (dressed up in tribal gear) who'd got together to great PNG's Tourism Minister who'd just arrived in a helicopter! He was on a trip around the country to get local villages to open for tourists. It was total luck, because he took me in (he wanted to me to tell people about PNG when I got home) and I got a couple of days tour of the Highlands with his entourage and even went to a mass Sing-sing gathering. I then stayed in Mount Hagen for a few days at a place called Haus Poroman (which I don't think exists anymore). It was a lodge with these lovely roundhouses you could stay in and had stunning views. The woman who owned it was of mixed Papuan/white heritage and the daughter of one of the first Australians who went into the interior of PNG. She was absolutely fascinating to talk to. I then PMV'd it to a place called Tari and organised a charter flight, with a couple of other travelers I bumped into plus some locals, on a Twin Otter (a stunning flight across the Southern Highlands) to one of the villages where you find the Huli wigmen (pic at 12:26). I stayed a couple of days in their village where they gave a tour of their culture/face painting etc. For the last leg of my trip I flew to Wewak and (with a Norwegian guy I'd met in Tari) traveled to the Sepik where we found a local guide with a motorised long boat/canoe who took us on a several day trip on the Sepik and tributaries. We stopped at villages, during the evening, where they'd give us a place to stay (one night was in a 'spirit house' where they keep their carvings). Some of the villagers had only ever met maybe one or two other white people before (usually a missionary). It was quite an experience. At the end of the Sepik trip we crossed into the vast Chambri Lake which has 'villages'/houses literally built on stilts in the water several miles into the lake - it's almost unworldly and like something out of a sci-fi film. Finally I flew to Madang to fit in a day's dive trip (diving out of Madang is stunning with fantastic coral, sunken WW2 ships and a Japanese Zero fighter). I stayed a couple of nights on a small island in a little thatched bungalow run by locals (it was very cheap) and got the local dive operator to pick me up in the morning from their much more expensive hotel resort. I then flew back to Moresby and got a flight back to Cairns. It was an amazing experience. A little hairy at times - you have to be careful in PNG traveling alone (or at least you did then) - but I found the local people very friendly. If you make the effort to talk they'll take you in and go out of their way look after you (part of their culture). It wasn't cheap though. I was backpacking across the Pacific, so tried to keep my costs down to a minimum, but still spent a significant chunk of my budget on the four weeks I was in PNG. But it's something I've never forgotten or regret doing. I still have some of the local mask carvings I bought (I had to ship them back to the UK from Mount Hagen as I couldn't fit them in my rucksack). Couple of facts: A/ a lot of those areas you show in red *are* accessible by land transport. They're just not the main roads, but more dirt roads. I traveled on a load of them by PMV or an open back truck. That's how locals get around. However some of these roads you may not want to always travel on for convenience or (at least at the time I was there) could be dangerous. Some places are totally inaccessible by road and you need to get a charter flight in a small aircraft, but overall road accessibility is not like what you're suggesting. B/ The problems in Bougainville (at the time) also had a lot to do with western mining companies in tandem with the Papuan govt: who'd gone into the area and promised the locals to build infrastructure (schools, roads etc) in exchange for mining on their land, but hadn't kept their side of the bargain or just made a complete mess of it. This also massively contributed to the violence. C/ You mention the crazy PNG birds, but no mention of Cassowaries!?
I can't imagine, meeting up with a total stranger from Norway in Tari, then teaming up with him to canoe the Sepik River, staying with locals overnight. This is backpacking at its extreme. Thankyou for sharing such an epic account of your trip. I wish one day, this becomes more common. Truly brave. How old were you then?
@@drededninja13 Hi Yondo, it's a pleasure. Although I don't think I was brave, I was just a young middle-class Brit, who wanted to experience something outside of the norm of what I'd been used to. I was about 26/27 at the time, which I think had some advantages. Ie you're old enough to have a bit of life experience (and usually more money than younger backpackers - PNG is not a cheap or easy backpacker destination), whilst still young enough to not really have any serious personal responsibilities back home. All said, when I got back to Moresby, before I flew out, I bumped into a fifty-something British engineer (pretty hardened after spending his career working in far flung places) in the local hotel bar. I was proudly telling him of my adventures, and he jokingly said: 'so you just did the touristy bits then'. Apparently he'd just single handedly backpacked right through the middle of Irian Jaya (now called Papua), and across the Star Mountains into PNG. Some of these places were where no one else had ever been, other than the remote indigenous tribes who'd been there for a millennia. It kind of put my story into a slightly different perspective. Either way, it was a fantastic experience. I've never regretted it. I encourage people getting off the beaten track when ever traveling and actually learn something about the country they're visiting, instead of listening to prejudices from people who've never been there or only gone to some tourist resort. I was told by a lot of Aussies, beforehand, that I was crazy to back-pack in PNG, and certainly not to do it on my own. All of them said I should stay in some protected holiday resort. I ignored them of course. Backpacking in PNG can be risky and I think women may not want to backpack there on their own - although some do. However, I found that using common sense (ie just keeping an eye out for potential problems and avoiding them) and also making friends with local people very much mitigated that. I was met with a lot of kindness. I'm not sure if it's changed over the last 25 years, but I found that once you make friends with local Papuan's they're really interested and want to talk to you. They also often then see it as their personal duty to look after/protect you because of the particular tribal nature of their society. I backpacked throughout the Pacific at that time: I flew to the US and then to the Cook Islands, Fiji, Australia, PNG and finally spent a week in Hong Kong on my way home. The trip took about 4 and a 1/2 months. I loved every minute of it (I also worked as a dive guide/deck hand on a live aboard dive boat in the Coral Sea - lots of stories there), but the month I spent in PNG was something completely different. As for meeting different people - it really just kind of happens randomly. I've found that all the time when traveling. Traveling on your own can be lonely sometimes, but it also means you're far more likely to talk to other people and make connections. I made a ton of friends on that entire trip.
@@MrDragon1968Magnificent. A compilation of stories like yours is what foreigners need to see. Obviously paired with an improvement of societal issues back home, I believe, could spark unrivalled tourism journeys for young travellers who do wanna get off the beaten track. PNG has so much potential. We'll get there one day. I know it. Thanks again for your story mate. Made my day.
Papua New Guinea’s relatively recent independence is interesting. My grandmother was born in 1946, so she grew up in a time when more women were entering the workplace. Her story is that the first job she got with the South Australian treasury was based on Papua New Guinea. She has many interesting annecdotes as you could imagine, being a young woman working in Port Moresby!
We are very open people, our land is beautiful, people are forever welcoming and you feel tired of shaking hands ,waving and smiling because it's part of the culture .🇵🇬🇵🇬❤️
Thank you for this episode. My grandparents were in the Peace Corps in Papua New Guinea in from 1986-1988 when they were in their sixties. I still have some letters from their time there. Again, thanks for bringing back some good memories.
@Timo Brownie It’s indeed really great to learn more information about one’s own nation. I was up in Wisconsin recently, and met a group from Papua New Guinea and for many of them it was their first visit to the U.S. and had a bit of culture shock but we’re getting were adapting fairly well to everything. Anyways I WhatsApped this video to one of them and they love it and learned a lot too! Will be interesting to see the ‘America’ eps, wonder what new things I’ll learn from that.
Wow, Russia? Thanks mate, and do you know that Russia did play a role in colonising a part of PNG? That was back in the late 19th centuary, 1860s somewhere around that time a Russian explorer - Nicholai Maclay, shored at Madang Province (Northen part of New Guinea) and settled with the locals for sometimes then sailed back to Russia. Hes decendants after so many decades finds out about Nicholai Macklays explicit discovery and contact with some indiginous tribe during his voyage and after many research they finaly get the location of the country and contact of the local tribe. Sometime later in mid 2000, all the way across the globe from Russia they flew to now Port Moreby city, then to Madang Province all the way to that exact local village along the coast to see and meet with the people whom their great great grand father once set foot and settled with these local tribe. They were totally surprised that everyone knows about who Nicholai Maclay was and his little history with their trbesmen and women of that era which was passed down oraly to the current generation. I heard that his family had built a monument for him before they left for Russia. Theres also a Nicholai Maclay Street in town named after this great Russian explorer. With respect from Madang, PNG🇵🇬

My great uncle was an ambassador to Papua New Guinea for awhile. His name was Everett Bierman. He was also an ambassador to Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands.
New Ireland is the emerald of the Bismarck Sea. Truly the most beautiful tropical island paradise province of Papua New Guinea. Irish people should check it out.
It would be interesting but there is not much to know. They have no interaction to the outer world whatsoever, their immune system may not be developed to fight modern diseases, Government of India made it illegal to visit and once in a while they kill anyone who tries to. That's it I guess.

The two codes split in the UK over the issue of paying players. Rugby league was the professional sport, rugby union was played by amateurs. Because rich people could afford the time for training without needing to be paid, rugby union became the "posh" code, played at private schools (known as "public schools" for some reason), while rugby league was the working class code, played especially in industrial areas. Originally the rules were the same, but they have drifted apart over time and are now quite different games, though they might look the same to an outsider. Rugby union is the big game in New Zealand, while rugby league is played in PNG.
The best place to visit, see culture, look at the magnificence of a PNG island is New Ireland and you must go Lemmino. This is where you stay on New Ireland.....NUSA ISLAND RETREAT. See clips of it on RUclips. Perfection, paradise, pristine. I am an Australian who grew up on New Britain Island....also beautiful....but Rabaul was damaged by volcanic eruption in 1994 and volcano continues to erupt on/off. I know New Ireland too. Stayed at Nusa.
I'm from PNG but not from New Ireland province, haven't been there but I can tell you from the stories and images my friends who are from there tell and show me, it is stunningly beautiful! Has some of the clearest beaches and their cultural shows are so cool to watch!
I LOVE PNG! I was able to spend a month there on Lake Murray working with Greenpeace and with three clans. I saw things I could never imagine. Truly the LAST wild place on earth and the people are the loveliest! Watch out for the beetle nut though lol ! Great job on the video!
I'm a rural Aussie from the outback who has never been anywhere near Papua....but I was fortunate enough to spend some time in a University town where I made friends with bunch... a lot of the high ranking politicians, military officers, and even many tribal chiefs have had, in the past, very high levels of formal education... usually in Australia.... so they send their children to Australia too for that reason... so most of the Papuans I met, were children of Ministers, Command Level military officers, or Chiefs. Well spoken, well mannered, intelligent, educated, people of a "class' far higher than mine, but welcoming and engaging nevertheless. One of was a son of the Chief of the famous "Mud Men' who are often in all the tourism marketing for the place, which cover themselves in a creamy coloured mud head to toe, and make these huge mud heads they wear, another was the son of a one time Education Minister, this sort of thing. Nevertheless, almost all of them loved the Betel Nut. Which meant I soon loved the Betel Nut too.....red lips are cool.... I guess.... the ....how shall I say.....energizing qualities......were too, but to this day, I just do not get the LIME thing... I mean... I thought they meant like, I dont know.. they were going to give it to me with fruit.... not the mineral LOOOOOL. Lovely people, fascinating culture, but really weird drugs yo :P
@@remyphilly5168 They identify as black Melanesians. Most Papuans will get offended if called African, especially since there is genetic, linguistic and even scientific evidence solidifying that the last Papuan to ever set foot in Africa was about 60,000 years ago, the same time European and Asian progenitors left Africa as well.
Are you PNG? why do you guys look like us, LOL [ I'm black American] I seen some of your videos, I swear to God I thought you were a black American woman.

Yep there is.. fun fact. It's named New Ireland and New Britain because the explorer saw the geographical features and the way both islands are situated almost similar to Ireland and Britain...hence, the name NEW Ireland and NEW Britain
With my grandmas (Bubu or Sasim's) family being from Papua New Guinea I can't say thank you enough for this video on my grandmas homeland.

And sago is very common also in South East Asian snack and desserts specially in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia Tapioca pearl is also a type of sago too Thought tapioca starch is from Taiwan
Sago is only an important food in areas of PNG where it grows such as in the Gulf and Western provinces. Sweet potato [kaukau] is probably the most important food, and these days, rice.

Thank you for this video. I never thaught about PNG but now I want to go there at least once in my life. It seems to be very authentic and exotic - at least for someone from Croatia or Europe in general like me. When I think of all the other countries this one seems to be least discovered, least explained and least westernized/globalized which makes it fantastic opportunity to get a glimps how the world once was in sence of diversity. Thank you once again and keep up the good work.
You're most welcome to come to PNG. There are many tour guides around every province as people realize the importance of tourism. You'll enjoy our diverse cultures.
@Ariso Light A lot of Australians don’t know it but Papua New Guinea is the closest nation in to Australia. Like lots of people in Sydney think New Zealand is the closest.
and they love League so much that they watch Storm games just because Justin Olam (who is one of the few PNG players playing in the top tier comp) plays in them
Its a small mistake that anyone who isn't familiar with Rugby league and union and its terminology and history would make, it is understandable, even though it is a mistake.

Yes thats true. tok pisin is a creole based language therefore much of the language is made up of Portuguese, spanish, english etc. including local dialects. It became very useful since it helped missionaries and local police to communicate with different tribes across the country.
It's actually, "Bai mi lukim yu long bihain taim." Or you could just say "lukim yu bihain." But most people nowadays just say "kets sampla taim" or just "kets".
here's a shower thought: if the guinea pig didn't exist, everyone would pronounce the word "guinea" in countries like papua new guinea, guinea, guinea-bissau and equatorial guinea incorrectly, pronunciations like gweenia and gienaya would probably be common mispronunciations and yes i have waited months to comment this
@Priscilla Jimenez That’s just my theory, but RUclips bots just don’t care about context of anything, they remove videos for seemingly being “too violent” when they are not, but then proceed to have monetized videos up, of woman pranking miss-carriages and countless plane crash video compilations.
@Priscilla Jimenez Yeah RUclips is like Hitler and Jospeh Stalin reincarnated, since they are both authoritarian dictators (I just did the H-word now my comments is probably gonna disappear. Hopefully Barbs will make video addressing the absence of the “shirtless” scene and will talk about and lean other RUclipsrs in a revolution to stand up for their rights and protect their freedom to show muscles, nothin’ can stop it once it starts may the revolution begin!!

Lae is pronounced as Lay. At least every person in Papua New Guinea when I was there pronounced it that way.
Lays
Correct. Its pronounced "lay"
The origional name is Lahey, from the Lahey brothers, but due to local pronounciation and dialect it is pronounced as Lay (Lae).

This bought back a load of memories for me. I backpacked through PNG - for about a month by myself - in 1996. I made the journey up - as I went along - using a Lonely Planet guide and advice I got from locals. I flew to Port Moresby from Cairns and got a flight to Goroka where I stayed at a Christian mission (they put people up and it was also safer at the time) where I made friends with a local guy who took me to visit the Asaro Mudmen you see in the pic at 12:28. He also took me to a local school where I gave a talk to the kids about the UK (which was kind of fascinating for several reasons). After that I got a PMV to Mt.Wilhelm and found a guide - at a local lodge part way down - who took me up to the summit (about half a day's climb - but there's a path): I had to acclimatise first as it's about about 4500 metres. There was a tiny cabin at the top that you could stay in, if you contacted the right people beforehand to get a key. I stayed up there for a couple of days, on my own, wandering around just below the summit and taking pictures. It's above the clouds with a basin below, so the views are stunning- especially if you get up early to watch the sunrise. When the clouds clear you can see right into what was then called Irian Jaya (the Indonesian side of the island). On my way down the mountain I bumped into a load of villagers (dressed up in tribal gear) who'd got together to great PNG's Tourism Minister who'd just arrived in a helicopter! He was on a trip around the country to get local villages to open for tourists. It was total luck, because he took me in (he wanted to me to tell people about PNG when I got home) and I got a couple of days tour of the Highlands with his entourage and even went to a mass Sing-sing gathering. I then stayed in Mount Hagen for a few days at a place called Haus Poroman (which I don't think exists anymore). It was a lodge with these lovely roundhouses you could stay in and had stunning views. The woman who owned it was of mixed Papuan/white heritage and the daughter of one of the first Australians who went into the interior of PNG. She was absolutely fascinating to talk to. I then PMV'd it to a place called Tari and organised a charter flight, with a couple of other travelers I bumped into plus some locals, on a Twin Otter (a stunning flight across the Southern Highlands) to one of the villages where you find the Huli wigmen (pic at 12:26). I stayed a couple of days in their village where they gave a tour of their culture/face painting etc. For the last leg of my trip I flew to Wewak and (with a Norwegian guy I'd met in Tari) traveled to the Sepik where we found a local guide with a motorised long boat/canoe who took us on a several day trip on the Sepik and tributaries. We stopped at villages, during the evening, where they'd give us a place to stay (one night was in a 'spirit house' where they keep their carvings). Some of the villagers had only ever met maybe one or two other white people before (usually a missionary). It was quite an experience. At the end of the Sepik trip we crossed into the vast Chambri Lake which has 'villages'/houses literally built on stilts in the water several miles into the lake - it's almost unworldly and like something out of a sci-fi film. Finally I flew to Madang to fit in a day's dive trip (diving out of Madang is stunning with fantastic coral, sunken WW2 ships and a Japanese Zero fighter). I stayed a couple of nights on a small island in a little thatched bungalow run by locals (it was very cheap) and got the local dive operator to pick me up in the morning from their much more expensive hotel resort. I then flew back to Moresby and got a flight back to Cairns.
It was an amazing experience. A little hairy at times - you have to be careful in PNG traveling alone (or at least you did then) - but I found the local people very friendly. If you make the effort to talk they'll take you in and go out of their way look after you (part of their culture). It wasn't cheap though. I was backpacking across the Pacific, so tried to keep my costs down to a minimum, but still spent a significant chunk of my budget on the four weeks I was in PNG. But it's something I've never forgotten or regret doing. I still have some of the local mask carvings I bought (I had to ship them back to the UK from Mount Hagen as I couldn't fit them in my rucksack).
Couple of facts: A/ a lot of those areas you show in red *are* accessible by land transport. They're just not the main roads, but more dirt roads. I traveled on a load of them by PMV or an open back truck. That's how locals get around. However some of these roads you may not want to always travel on for convenience or (at least at the time I was there) could be dangerous. Some places are totally inaccessible by road and you need to get a charter flight in a small aircraft, but overall road accessibility is not like what you're suggesting. B/ The problems in Bougainville (at the time) also had a lot to do with western mining companies in tandem with the Papuan govt: who'd gone into the area and promised the locals to build infrastructure (schools, roads etc) in exchange for mining on their land, but hadn't kept their side of the bargain or just made a complete mess of it. This also massively contributed to the violence. C/ You mention the crazy PNG birds, but no mention of Cassowaries!?
I can't imagine, meeting up with a total stranger from Norway in Tari, then teaming up with him to canoe the Sepik River, staying with locals overnight. This is backpacking at its extreme. Thankyou for sharing such an epic account of your trip. I wish one day, this becomes more common. Truly brave. How old were you then?
@@drededninja13 Hi Yondo, it's a pleasure. Although I don't think I was brave, I was just a young middle-class Brit, who wanted to experience something outside of the norm of what I'd been used to. I was about 26/27 at the time, which I think had some advantages. Ie you're old enough to have a bit of life experience (and usually more money than younger backpackers - PNG is not a cheap or easy backpacker destination), whilst still young enough to not really have any serious personal responsibilities back home. All said, when I got back to Moresby, before I flew out, I bumped into a fifty-something British engineer (pretty hardened after spending his career working in far flung places) in the local hotel bar. I was proudly telling him of my adventures, and he jokingly said: 'so you just did the touristy bits then'. Apparently he'd just single handedly backpacked right through the middle of Irian Jaya (now called Papua), and across the Star Mountains into PNG. Some of these places were where no one else had ever been, other than the remote indigenous tribes who'd been there for a millennia. It kind of put my story into a slightly different perspective.
Either way, it was a fantastic experience. I've never regretted it. I encourage people getting off the beaten track when ever traveling and actually learn something about the country they're visiting, instead of listening to prejudices from people who've never been there or only gone to some tourist resort. I was told by a lot of Aussies, beforehand, that I was crazy to back-pack in PNG, and certainly not to do it on my own. All of them said I should stay in some protected holiday resort. I ignored them of course. Backpacking in PNG can be risky and I think women may not want to backpack there on their own - although some do. However, I found that using common sense (ie just keeping an eye out for potential problems and avoiding them) and also making friends with local people very much mitigated that. I was met with a lot of kindness. I'm not sure if it's changed over the last 25 years, but I found that once you make friends with local Papuan's they're really interested and want to talk to you. They also often then see it as their personal duty to look after/protect you because of the particular tribal nature of their society.
I backpacked throughout the Pacific at that time: I flew to the US and then to the Cook Islands, Fiji, Australia, PNG and finally spent a week in Hong Kong on my way home. The trip took about 4 and a 1/2 months. I loved every minute of it (I also worked as a dive guide/deck hand on a live aboard dive boat in the Coral Sea - lots of stories there), but the month I spent in PNG was something completely different.
As for meeting different people - it really just kind of happens randomly. I've found that all the time when traveling. Traveling on your own can be lonely sometimes, but it also means you're far more likely to talk to other people and make connections. I made a ton of friends on that entire trip.
@@MrDragon1968Magnificent. A compilation of stories like yours is what foreigners need to see. Obviously paired with an improvement of societal issues back home, I believe, could spark unrivalled tourism journeys for young travellers who do wanna get off the beaten track.

Papua New Guinea’s relatively recent independence is interesting. My grandmother was born in 1946, so she grew up in a time when more women were entering the workplace. Her story is that the first job she got with the South Australian treasury was based on Papua New Guinea. She has many interesting annecdotes as you could imagine, being a young woman working in Port Moresby!
Would love to hear about them!

Wow, Russia? Thanks mate, and do you know that Russia did play a role in colonising a part of PNG? That was back in the late 19th centuary, 1860s somewhere around that time a Russian explorer - Nicholai Maclay, shored at Madang Province (Northen part of New Guinea) and settled with the locals for sometimes then sailed back to Russia. Hes decendants after so many decades finds out about Nicholai Macklays explicit discovery and contact with some indiginous tribe during his voyage and after many research they finaly get the location of the country and contact of the local tribe. Sometime later in mid 2000, all the way across the globe from Russia they flew to now Port Moreby city, then to Madang Province all the way to that exact local village along the coast to see and meet with the people whom their great great grand father once set foot and settled with these local tribe. They were totally surprised that everyone knows about who Nicholai Maclay was and his little history with their trbesmen and women of that era which was passed down oraly to the current generation. I heard that his family had built a monument for him before they left for Russia. Theres also a Nicholai Maclay Street in town named after this great Russian explorer. With respect from Madang, PNG🇵🇬

Rugby is 'rugby union'
PNG supports 'rugby league' - a totally different sport
Robert Maher not really that different at all
@@muzikology1018 actually very different
The two codes split in the UK over the issue of paying players. Rugby league was the professional sport, rugby union was played by amateurs. Because rich people could afford the time for training without needing to be paid, rugby union became the "posh" code, played at private schools (known as "public schools" for some reason), while rugby league was the working class code, played especially in industrial areas. Originally the rules were the same, but they have drifted apart over time and are now quite different games, though they might look the same to an outsider. Rugby union is the big game in New Zealand, while rugby league is played in PNG.
Rugby union is also played in PNG.
You right lol 🇵🇬❤️❤️✊🏿

Buai (Betel Nut ) is the best though.. hahahha!! Love from Papua New Guinea
Thanks mate, hope you've enjoyed your stay.
I'm a rural Aussie from the outback who has never been anywhere near Papua....but I was fortunate enough to spend some time in a University town where I made friends with bunch... a lot of the high ranking politicians, military officers, and even many tribal chiefs have had, in the past, very high levels of formal education... usually in Australia.... so they send their children to Australia too for that reason... so most of the Papuans I met, were children of Ministers, Command Level military officers, or Chiefs.
Well spoken, well mannered, intelligent, educated, people of a "class' far higher than mine, but welcoming and engaging nevertheless. One of was a son of the Chief of the famous "Mud Men' who are often in all the tourism marketing for the place, which cover themselves in a creamy coloured mud head to toe, and make these huge mud heads they wear, another was the son of a one time Education Minister, this sort of thing.
Nevertheless, almost all of them loved the Betel Nut. Which meant I soon loved the Betel Nut too.....red lips are cool.... I guess.... the ....how shall I say.....energizing qualities......were too, but to this day, I just do not get the LIME thing... I mean... I thought they meant like, I dont know.. they were going to give it to me with fruit.... not the mineral LOOOOOL.

@@remyphilly5168 They identify as black Melanesians. Most Papuans will get offended if called African, especially since there is genetic, linguistic and even scientific evidence solidifying that the last Papuan to ever set foot in Africa was about 60,000 years ago, the same time European and Asian progenitors left Africa as well.

Ah, so there are a UK 2.0 and Ireland 2.0
Which are as opposite to Britain and Ireland as they could possible be
Nah they UK 3.0 and Ireland 3.0. America and Australia are 2.0

"Mi no Save" in Portuguese would be "Eu não sei". "Sei" is a conjugation, in the first person( I ), from the verb "Saber". Quite similar
Yes thats true. tok pisin is a creole based language therefore much of the language is made up of Portuguese, spanish, english etc. including local dialects. It became very useful since it helped missionaries and local police to communicate with different tribes across the country.
I know something in pidgin - "me lukim yu behayn taym" means "see you later"
It's actually, "Bai mi lukim yu long bihain taim." Or you could just say "lukim yu bihain."
But most people nowadays just say "kets sampla taim" or just "kets".
@@hayleyauro1439 Liam is partly correct though. As a PNGean you'll still understand what he's saying no need for a tok pisin lesson 😂
Congratulations to Papua New Guinea for qualifying for the T20 Cricket World Cup 2020 !! Can't wait to see them play on the big stage :D
Thanks!
This is so amazing!!! Thank you for a well detail and articulated video of my beloved country - Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🥳
here's a shower thought: if the guinea pig didn't exist, everyone would pronounce the word "guinea" in countries like papua new guinea, guinea, guinea-bissau and equatorial guinea incorrectly, pronunciations like gweenia and gienaya would probably be common mispronunciations
and yes i have waited months to comment this
Probably something like "gwai nee yuh"
I'm gonna be honest, once upon a time I actually pronounced "New Guinea" as "New Jinya/Jenya"
JKAR03 hahaha love this
@@fadlmustafa5302 😂😂😂😂😂😂 dude, there's literally three other countries in the world with the same word in their names! 😂😂😂😂
"Mine!" "No mine!" "It's mine!" "No it's mine!" "Can be independent?" "No you're mine." Hahahahaha
I laugh at this part
I died at that
Love it! You guys did a great job of reviewing my country 🇵🇬. For that you got a 👍, share and a 1+subscriber.
This is hands down the most interesting episode so far.
*Bird of paradise* ! 🇵🇬 (my favorite)
My dad and brother a from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬

Came for shirtless Keith, stayed for education
@Priscilla Jimenez Someoen at Studio probably advised them not to do it, because RUclips would make an excuse to demonize their channel.
@Priscilla Jimenez That’s just my theory, but RUclips bots just don’t care about context of anything, they remove videos for seemingly being “too violent” when they are not, but then proceed to have monetized videos up, of woman pranking miss-carriages and countless plane crash video compilations.
Priscilla Jimenez oof
@Priscilla Jimenez Yeah RUclips is like Hitler and Jospeh Stalin reincarnated, since they are both authoritarian dictators (I just did the H-word now my comments is probably gonna disappear. Hopefully Barbs will make video addressing the absence of the “shirtless” scene and will talk about and lean other RUclipsrs in a revolution to stand up for their rights and protect their freedom to show muscles, nothin’ can stop it once it starts may the revolution begin!!
that lake looks so much like a fractal. i've never seen anything like it before.
Woot, Bougainville is now independent (just need some paperwork and a transition time to be a fully fleshed sovereign nation).
Will it become a separate country?
@@chrono-glitchwaterlily8776 It wont happen, that's for sure! watch...
It's 2021 now. Still hasn't happened. I'll check in after another year. Lol
Son of a farther from West Papua but he thinks Papua New Guinea is very intriguing for sure! We are Dutch-Indonesian American and proud! 🇮🇩🇳🇱🇺🇸❤️🇵🇬
