A couple of weeks ago, the SVS Supermarket at Harbour City appeared to be having a mad sale. Everything was up to half price and shoppers scattered everywhere to get their hands on the items. But this was no ordinary sale because almost half of the shelves were empty and it didn’t look like SVS was going to re-stock them.

Two trucks, one believed to be owned by a security company, appeared to have collided last night based on the photos taken this morning. The collision appeared to have been so severe given the two body as shown on the photos.

Here are 10 faces of Papua New Guinea to give you an indication of what you can expect at a cultural event in Papua New Guinea.

A cultural event is an important occasion to showcase the vibrant culture and this is perhaps the only time when most of the different cultures come together. We’ve been to many cultural events and it would be impossible for us to publish…
One of the biggest hurdles to potential homebuyers realising their dream of buying a home is the ability to obtain finance. At the date of publishing this article, current interest rates in Papua New Guinea for owner occupied housing from the major commercial banks is around 8.45% to 8.95% with a maximum term ranging between 25 to 30 years. Historically, the interest rate seems to be on the high and in comparison with interest rates in Australia for owner occupied housing loans, Papua New Guinea’s current interest rates seems rather expensive. Would a reduction in interest rates enable more Papua…
The new improved stadium has the capacity to hold a crowd of 18,000 which is about 10,000 to 15,000 more than the previous stadium’s capacity. As work continues on the Sir Hubert Murray Stadium one wonders what the stadium will look like when fully completed. Thanks to the Pacific Games organisation, we managed to view a couple of the photographs of the final look and it certainly does look impressive.
