Either the Indonesian side or Papua New Guinea?
I'm wondering what it's like there, and how safe it is for Americans.

But I presume it is safe for Americans now. There are lots of ties to US dating back to WWII -- all favorable -- PNG -s a tropical paradise and haven for zoologists amd naturalists and linguists. PNGs love Americans. You can have a luxury holiday for little cost. Things are a bit disorganized, but if you are not on a schedule, you'll manage.
Worse discomfort you shall experience -- apart from culture shock -- is high humidity and lack of amenities if you eave the main city.
Buon viaggio! (or Nice trippy trippy)

5. Did you go by yourself or with a group? |

And were you looking at anthropology or natural history?
(There are a lot of endemic Kingfishers there, and I'm wondering how safe and enjoyable it is for Americans)
