It is estimated that more than a thousand different cultural groups exist in Papua New Guinea. Because of this diversity, many different styles of cultural expression have emerged; each group has created its own expressive forms in art, dance, weaponry, costumes, singing, music, architecture and much more. Most of these different cultural groups have their own language.  However, there are three official languages for Papua New Guinea.  English is the official language and is the language of government and the education system, but sadly it is not widely spoken.

Biking around I met and saw so many unusual people but was unable to communicate with most of them, other then using hand language.  But when I did meet someone who spoke English, the things we talked about were so bizarre, as they had so little idea of the world outside their jungle rainforest.
