Day +2575 : A friend went to Papua New Guinea

I am fine today.

A good friend of mine went to work in Papua New Guinea. We talked about of getting him to bring back sea cucumber and seafood when he comes back later. But when he was there, he realized that it might not be that practical to bring back anything from Papua New Guinea because the goods there are so expensive.

One litre of petrol cost K3.52 (RM4.75), a barrel of natural gas cost K124.7 (RM168.3), a roasted duck cost K200(RM270). The company provided him food and accommodation. He has to control his spending strictly in order to make sufficient money home.
