Papua New Guineans love their sport and are proud of their traditional bilas. Bilas: body decoration, finery or jewellery seen at the local Cultural Festivals. Sports: ranging from rugby, soccer, volleyball, kick-boxing, cricket, softball and athletics. In this category you will find a collection of stories related to PNG Cultural Shows, Festivals, Sporting Events and a great collection of photos.

UNITECH Rugby finals….

UNITECH Rugby Grand Finals were played over the weekend between Business Studies (DBS) and Civil Engineering (Civil). It is rare that I support a rugby team but this weekend just gone was an exception to the rule

PNG singsing….

I had the opportunity to watch and listen to some PNG traditional singsing last Saturday afternoon, organised as part of the Independence Day celebrations here at UNITECH. Many events were organised and there was something to see, hear or participate in every day for the past week

PNG Independance Day @ UNITECH (Photos)

There have been plenty of celebration these past few days on campus. The above photo was taken Friday morning at the Flag raising ceremony. I reckon one of the best photos I have taken so in PNG so far
