PNG
Hi all, I'm heading to PNG tomorrow for a few days to look at some flying job opportunities. I have organised a few appointments but thought it might be a good idea to post something here just in case anyone has some good ideas. It's a genuine trip. Currently fly in Aus but have a desire to fly in PNG. Have 2000 hrs/600 multi PIC.
Any feed back would be welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you.

Better luck is at the Weigh Inn

Crikey... where to start.....
Hey Tinpis I promised I'd keep you posted... so here goes...
Arrived up in Moresby sunday night and worked my tail off for four days organising appointments and meeting as many people as I could. I cannot speak highly enough of the people I came in contact with... friendly, helpful and just good, down to earth guys. I had a pretty good look around the city and enjoyed the place. It's not everyones cup of tea... but for me... I like it!!
I was very fortunate to secure an interview... and found out yesterday I got the job.
I return next month to start work.
I'm bloody stoked :-)
I'll let you know how I get on....

Oh, you didn't meet many pilots then? 
You will have a ball. Take care.

Mate,
You may dispare at times, wish you had never heard of the place, see no exit to better things etc!! It can be a strange place. I won't offer any advice as it is over 30+ years since my wife (and yes, still with the same wife) and I went to 'Plas belong balus' but dispite all the above feelings you will get at some stage, we still look back on our time there as some of the best times and experiences we had. Enjoy.....and yes there will be life beyond at some point, possibly well beyond what you thought was ever likely. Myself, now celebrating the start of my 21st year on the 74!
Go for it and take every enjoyment you can from it.
Good Luck.
