The original message is a few months old, so my opinion might be moot, but I'll provide it anyway. I am a while female (older) living and working in Port Moresby alone. Because I work for a national company, I actually shied away from making expat ... Read More

I agree with birdies' assessment of the situation and would add that where you will be living/working should also play heavily into the decision. I am an older woman living in Port Moresby alone. I have been here 2 years and love it, but, as birdies ... Read More

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Madang last March. It was quite beautiful, the weather was lovely, and there are a couple of resorts that sound perfect for your needs. It is the "reasonably priced" part that is so problematic here in PNG, at least ... Read More

I think Wendy is right on target with her comments. Port Moresby has a lot of amenities that can't be found elsewhere in the country, and although I don't have small children, I believe there is quite a support group for families of expats working ... Read More

So sorry Eggface is having such a difficult time. I, on the other hand, love it here. I am an older woman (51) from the US and have been living in Port Moresby for a year and a half. I drive, walk, shop, eat out, and work comfortably here. I do not ... Read More

Went with a friend last weekend to look at an apartment in POM. I have to admit that I've never seen housing prices like this (expensive!) anywhere else. I live like a national, so I don't pay nearly as much as other expats. I posted photos, ... Read More

Just wanted to toss in my short comment that the information posted by pngean seems to nicely cover the questions as well as being on target. My only additional comment is about your #5, "I plan to continue to work for my Brisbane via remote ... Read More

Hi Suresh, Yes, Visa on Arrival is still widely used here and seems to be an effective, even preferred, method of getting in. There are a couple of things to consider, however. First, there are some countries prohibited from using the system. For ... Read More

Thanks for the friendly greeting, Amy! I hope you'll be sure and let me know when you guys arrive. I would love to hear a good ole' Texas drawl again! :-) Read More

Oh no. I'm afraid I'm not going to be any help at all on this one. The arrangement I have with my company is that they pay all of the PNG taxes for me...I don't have to deal with that. Of course, I have to pay US taxes myself. Sorry I wasn't any ... Read More

Hmm...that's quite an open-ended question and one that's difficult to answer. I believe that the answer to both is "it depends". The lifestyle that I enjoy here is relatively quiet, but I came from a small Texas town so it's not so different for ... Read More

I have to say that since I require Internet access, I use Skype exclusively to contact friends and family back in the USA. I have it installed (free and simple) on all my family's machines including those belonging to my parents (in their 70's) ... Read More

I've lived in Port Moresby for a year now and seem do fine on my own. I live downtown (across from the Crowne Plaza) by myself. I am a 50-year-old female who, until recently, has been here alone. Now my husband is here as well, after finishing up a ... Read More
