So, as promised, here are some pics that I took today.
First up, here are some pics that I took from our balcony, this morning:
The grey roofed building is the other side of the complex. In between is the pool. In the bottom left, you can see the craft markets set up |
On the 3rd Sat of each month, there are craft markets in our compound:
We were really surprised to spot this awesome car out the front of our apartment building this morning. Given that car-jackings are a real threat, I would be pretty nervous driving this baby around town...
Our new favourite coffee shop is called Duffy's. Its just down the road from Bree's school. From the front, it doesn't look like much. However, once you pass through the security gates, it's like a little piece of civilised heaven (and their coffee is the best in town).
They also make awesome crepes
Grocery shopping is always an adventure - you never know what random stuff you'll find. Today we found scented tealights from IKEA - can't get those in Canberra (yet).
And while groceries are expensive, they're not as expensive as we had anticipated - except for fresh milk. That stuff is ridiculously expensive compared to home. Most people (and us) just buy UHT milk (K4.95 for Devondale - about $2.30). However, once our coffee machine arrives, we've decided to treat ourselves to fresh milk once a week. You can see the milk below is K23.95 - that's about AUD$11.00 - for 2 litres!
Til next time........
Hi PracticAli!
ReplyDeleteI am a television producer working on the US travel show 'House Hunters International'. We are looking for English speaking expats who have recently moved to Papua New Guinea to feature on our show. I wonder if you might like to share your story?
House Hunters International is a half-hour TV show currently airing on the Home and Garden Television Network (HGTV) in America. The series is designed to de-mystify the international home-buying / renting process, by going behind the scenes of a house hunt where expats and their real estate agents tour 3 homes. At its core, House Hunters International is a travel show concentrating on the idiosyncrasies of the locales and what makes them special and different.
Here is a link to show you what our show is all about!

We would love to film in Papua New Guinea so please get in touch if any of your contacts might be interested in finding out more!
Best wishes,
Michelle
