New Papua New Guinea Government commenced 02 August 2011

Well as I was browsing through Facebook I discovered that the new Papua New Guinea (PNG) Government has a Facebook account.  I was completely unaware of all the changes but I did hear people talk about an O'Neil person being the new PNG Prime Minister, when I visited Kokoda from 13 to 29 August 2011.

O'Neil Namah Government Facebook link

I even went on their wall, my wall and PNG Reunion's wall and wished the New PNG Government all the best in the future and to our people back home.

So I decided to google some snippets of information for those who need to know like I do.  What does the future hold for PNG now?  I feel goose bumps and am quite excited but we'll all have to wait and see.

Well for those of you PNG mob who came in late (like me) and do not keep up to date about what happens over there.  Here are some of the information I found.

Travelled to PNG after 14 Years absence can now provide up to date information on travelling over there

Last updated Wednesday, 21 September 2011 - yet to upload photos in here and more information to add.

So now I have first hand experience about the situation over there and about travelling over there.  Which I will give up to date information on in regards to vaccinations and immunisation and how they do things in PNG in regards to these.  I prefer to experience things myself because I am over people carrying on about danger and so forth in PNG, when there are other countries in the world that are more dangerous than PNG.  For example if you read your Travel Insurance properly you will see that most will say they will not cover you if you travel to Afghanistan and such places.  I have inserted a couple of Travel insurance web link just to give you an idea of what I am talking about.  At the end of the day it is peoples choice where they want to travel to in the world, but it pays to do your homework first and not be too ignorant. 9/11 changed the world that we once knew forever in regards to safe travel.  I was actually serving as a full time Army service personnel in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, when 9/11 happened.

Examples of Travel Insurance of what to read on your Travel Insurance clauses properly

This Travel Insurance company will not cover Effective November 22nd, 2010, the ihi BUPA travel insurance will not cover expeditions, mountaineering and trekking in Antarctica, the North Pole and Greenland anymore.

This is another Travel Advice advising people to read the fine print of Travel Insurance to Afghanistan

Here is another example on Travel Insurance not covering riots, war, civil commotions and Coup E'tatd

If people want to travel to Afghanistan or those war zone places, that is their choice.  I am only providing you with examples of what some countries some Travel Insurance companies will not cover you for.  PNG is not one those countries.
