The Land of the Unexpected

Papua New Guinea is a country with an ancient tribal culture. Old rituals still permeate everyday life. Until the 20th century, cannibalism is believed to have been prevalent!

The impact of sudden change and a transition from the Stone Age to the Jet Age has manifested itself in many strange ways.
