Death Inc

So for the next 3 years I'll be working FIFO in PNG month on month off. Not sure on how I'll go checking the forums while I'm away, but I'll figure out something.
Anyways hope you all enjoy the last of 2013, and that 2014 will be a good one.
Catch yas sometime in a month or so

Catch ya Noraa good luck with this new venture :thumbup:

No worries big fella. have fun up in PNG, stay safe and keep us up to date... miss you mate.. maybe we can have some PR2 adventures down the track?

Once I get a new rig. Apparently mine decided to take a shower in bohica's shed :/

enjoy yourself over there
and silly PC your not meant to have a shower

Take care and be safe over there mate. Water cooling is not for noobs lol

Good luck. I worked up there for 3 years and it gave me some of the most amazing and unique experiences of my life. Where in the country will you be working?

Southern highlands. Fly into Moro airport

good luck mate

Mate good luck. My brothers did FIFO there. I strongly recommend life insurance addon and any trainings that can improve your life expectancy.  But depends where in png you are. They just saw some fucked shite working over there.

What sorta fucked shit goes on in png?

Dude they are Natives in the finest sense and will rip you limb from limb, most parts for white ppl are a NO GO! Full 24/7 security by armed guards and that's traveling,working or sleeping. It's as hardcore as fuck! If you are able to carry a concealable weapon I certainly fucking would. I know folk from PNG and i also have a few friends and family working on the Gold Mines. 

It doesn't seem that bad (yet) sammy. The camp is full of locals with the expats being the minority. With OSL, because the locals work here and the land owners get royalties, they know if they do anything serious they loose all the money. I've still heard the odd story, but it's come about because the person who was attacked fucked up in the first place.

Glad to hear that mate, just be careful and be safe :)

It's like anywhere, act like a fuckwit and it will come back and bite you in the arse. Treat the locals with respect and dignity and they will literally do anything for you. A lot of expats make the mistake of thinking the locals are stupid or ignorant. The PNG nationals are some of the most creative people I've met and once you understand their culture and where they're coming from it makes life easier. The people of the southern highlands have a warrior culture which makes them appear aggressive to outsiders at first. But win them over and you can use that. If you have time while your there, try a get to Kavieng, Rabaul, Tufi and Alotau. There is some amazing diving, fishing and war relics at these places. The coastal areas are also generally safer and more open to outsiders from the start.
