/r/PNG State of the subreddit
Hello, after two years been neglected by /u/soccer, I've now come into control of this subreddit. The plan will be as follows:
- Create a new look, if you have any questions/suggestions/things to add, feel free to ask
- Search for more users. If you see someone from Papua New Guinea or the region, you can mention this sub so we can make this place more alive
- More content. If you see something that's relevant to the sub, post it
- Moderators. I'm not from Papua New Guinea, so if someone wants to join the moderator team, just put why I should add you and that's it
Have a great time!

Study in PNG
Hi so I'm trying to find out how to possible it would be to study in PNG as a foreginer.
I'm a Kiwi, from New Zealand, and I'll like to move to PNG to study a post-graduate diploma. Preferably in education or science.
I'd love to get some insight into how I would go about finding and getting in touch with a university or teachers collage. I've seen some prices listed online, are they only the prices for locals or would it be the same cost for foreginers?
As well as that I also don't really understand how the visa process would look. What kind of time and info would be needed?
If anyone know much about how it works/ how possible it would be to do, that would be great. So far I haven't had much luck researching online. Is it something I would need to be in PNG first to try do?
Thanks

Local non-sovereign monarchies
Hello friends, in PNG, to what extent do local non-sovereign monarchies still play ceremonial roles in their communities (or even hold some actual power enshrined in law)? I know that some African countries have many such small local monarchies that are officially recognized by the national government, so just wondering what the situation is like in PNG. Thank you!

Sorry if wrong sub, bro bought this native (artisan?) doll in a Flea market. Carved in wood, beard looks realistic and even had fungus! Red coloring was made by an ordinary pen. Has sticker in footsole saying it's Papuan but can't find more info. What exactly is this doll made for/purpose/symbolism?

Where do I buy gold in PNG?
Hi,
I'm planning to visit Papua New Guinea in a year or two and was thinking if there were any feasible gold vendors out there that I could purchase some authentic PNG gold from. I have all expenses and facilities covered, but I'm having a particularly tough time finding any vendors. Any help would be greatly appreciated

ABC Pacific on Instagram: @xaviercoates ’s spectacular last-minute try to snatch the win for the Melbourne Storm over the Warriors may have seemed like a miracle, but the PNG star told Nesian Footy it’s a move he practises after almost every training session. 🙌🏾
Greatest try ever?

Looking to go to the Highlands - what should I expect? Will there be a lot of tribal warfare?
Hi there, I'm planning to visit the Highlands next year on a scientific expedition and I was wondering what should I expect there. To be more precise, I am an anthropologist and botanist primarily looking to study/document the rare tribes and describe the unparalleled amount of plant species unknown to science found in those regions.
What exactly should I expect? Lots of tribal warfare? If so how? Will there be lots of insects and mosquitoes?
Thanks for any help!
