Crossing the PNG-Indonesia border
The difference between both countries is evident: the road on the PNG side is roughly paved without a kerb. Weeds grow through cracks. In Indonesia, you have two well-defined lanes with painted kerbs on both sides.
There’s a small customs building where people leaving PNG must get their departure stamps. There’s a chance that when you arrive, it will be closed, as it is common in PNG for people to simply not show up to work. If it’s closed, don’t jump the fence to the Indonesian side, even if someone says it’s ok.

10 things I learned from Indonesia
It’s a pity that the West has forgotten how to use the hand as an eating utensil.
A clove cigarette and a glass of sweet jasmine tea are the perfect accessories to wait out the rain.
Bats are edible.
And more lessons inside.
