garimpo 2,249 Posted July 27, 2012 Like for you to meet the Chimbo tribe in PNG.....The one in Red is the big chief...for 20 + years he was the foot police for Australia when theyowned Papua New Guinea....his tribe of Chimbo's of about 3,000 are scattered all down thevalley, his son Kim was my friend and host....the other men are village officials....the two womensitting down in front are the village "criers"....when I arrived with Kim they cried....when I leftthey cried....has something to do with tridition...like glad your here and sad your leaving....In the lower pic is mostly family and trusted officials (also family) with the chief's son Kim standingon my left....Kim had another brother who was a judge in town (150 miles away)....Kim alsohad five wives in five different villages....The hut in the background is called the "hause man) or man house....it's where all the men sleepif they want to and the women are only allowed to enter for meetings and cook for the men atnight over coals in pits in the dirt floor.....if a woman enters the "hause man" while she is in herperiod they kill her....

garimpo 2,249 Posted January 23, 2013 Got my one mile walk in today since the rain hasn't started yet.....thought maybe you would like tosee the "free hospital" that I've mentioned before.....here is the frontupon the right side behind the red car....a blue "ear" is a public telephone in front of the emergencyentrance....Just around the corner is where the line normally forms starting at 0400 but today no crowds infront or here in the rear.....Reason no line is the free hospital is closed July-Dec-Jan because that's vacation time.....if yoursick enough to be brought in by car or ambulance then you get to use the front at the emergencyentrance.....waiting there is usually between an hour (seldom) and half a day (normal)....

Goldfinger 43 Posted January 24, 2013 Garimpo... Thanks for the photos. What happens if you get sick when they are on vacation? Go to another town? What about prescription drugs? are they free too?Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garimpo 2,249 Posted January 24, 2013 Steve if your sick enough they have one Doc on duty....if you can find him.....other than that go to any of about adozen Doc's at the regular hospital and pay them $180.00-$200.00 for a office visit....after you wait for half a day...The drug store's here used to be a fair price and you didn't need a prescription except to get what the Doc orderfor you....then about 8 years ago the Doc's got smart and adopted many ideas from their American Doc buddies....now a prescription is necessary for most anything....also Doc's don't generally give shots....the Doc writes aprescription ($200.00) and then you take that to the drug store of your choosing...about 20 in this small town....then you pay them for the meds and they give you the shot.....

Goldfinger 43 Posted January 25, 2013 Garimpo-- Just wondering if one can get prescription drug insurance to cover big ticket cancer drugs. That's really my main concern....The availibility of prescription drug plans for Central- South American countries. Panama,Costa Rica, and many others.

garimpo 2,249 Posted September 22, 2014 A lot of different veggies and fruits here. This is the Jabuticaba tree that has the fruit growing out of the skin of the tree. This is the first part it starts as a cluster of very little fuzzy stuff....out of that then comes the fruit but if it's green don't eat it...Now when the fruit is black it's ready for a good treat....it has one seed and a lot of pulp that is very good.
