In Madang and leaving for the bush tomorrow. Going to go an unexpected route, am excited because I'll've traveled nearly the full stretch of the Sogeram by boat.
I forgot how uncomfortable and exhausting it is to have celebrity status for being white. Sometimes it's not that bad, though. Today this random PNG version of a 2cool4school kid came up saying, "Hey waitman!" and shook my hand saying in the freshest PNG slang, "Boi stret!" (means something like "yeah dude!").
Otherwise the most exciting thing that's happened is the lizard I saw between the screen and the glass in the ATM this morning. I tried to save him by alerting the security guard to his plight only to see later nothing had been done. Poor guy!
