I've only been able to see videos of tribal people so this is indeed an upclose and personal trip for everyone who got a chance to meet Mr. Mundiya.

Oh wow! what a trip to PNG that must have been. I wonder if you've got any photos or stories to tell, any of them including the beauty and joy.

Happy New Year to you and yours, Number23! Very, very nice way to start off our New Year
