500 0# - GENERAL NOTE
General note Papua New Guinea is today one of the most hostile, most unyielding land masses on earth, a wild broken country splintered by river and forest, swamp and mountain wall, where just sixty years ago the only way of travel was to walk. The people are fishermen and hunters but above all they are village people, living by yams or taro, a way of life dictated by ancestor spirits. The country was splintered into a thousand language groups and it was only when the Europeans came that a common language emerged, pidgin English, literally business English. The word for bird is balus. Later, the newcomers brought a new kind of "bird."
