Hi there, Read your article in the National online. Wonderful to read some positive heartfelt expat news from PNG. I’m with you 100% in spirit. PNG and the Sepik changed my life in a similar way and so to see your sentiments in print is beautiful. Keep up the good positive messages re: PNG. We need all we can to counter the negative, destructive crap that we mostly hear in the press down here. I could write for hours on this subject. I’ll be following your blog and wish you and your community the best from me. Peter McGlynn (Melbourne & Maprik)
