Neil lost weight in
2014 - Before |

This photo is from May 2013; and no,
I didn't consume all of the chocolate fountain in the background
! |

with Rex in February 2014 |

with Rex again (same day) |
After |

with Rex in July 2014; photo taken using
Neil's phone |

Same time, same place; different
phone, different lighting;
no Photoshop; the light & camera make that much difference
|

Shopping in Port Moresby is
expensive & the selection is poor; I'm excited to be in a
real supermarket in Australia; and I somehow found my way to the confectionery aisle |

in the office in Port Moresby (in
August) |

I eat lunch in this restaurant every
week (photo taken in August) |

Again in August |
Kung; I'm
not skilled enough to use Photoshop, I use a simpler MS tool. I'm not very good but
I tried to paste a cutout of Kung & her dog Buster onto some
backgrounds. These are the best of them |

a flower background then made into a
charcoal drawing style |

with Wat Arun in the background |

The original photo with the
background changed to look like rippled glass |
Roger shaved
his hair for charity; and one photo of Rex with braces removed |

Roger takes a stand for charity |

Roger's grew his hair for 5 years |

The actual shaving event |

immediately afterwards |

after his hair has grown in (July) |

Rex had his braces removed in
October |
Independence Day
in PNG |
|
|

Everyone dresses in traditional
attire on Independence Day; parents dress their children
similarly. These good looking fellows were in
the local supermarket with their mother |

Supermarket staff are also in
traditional dress |

Picture from 2012 but it gives the
idea of traditional dress |
Other images
from PNG |

With poor selection & pricing in
PNG this NZ chocolate is the best available here; a good product
at a "reasonable" price |

This 250g block here costs about
double the price in NZ; that's reasonable in PNG but expensive
compared to almost anywhere else |

This is an Australian issue; the manufacturer says the roll on the right
has the same specs (size & weight) as the one on the left --
what do you think? |

This is the view from the rear of
my apt; lots of new apts are being built -- and they cost
a fortune to rent |

A medical ship from China arrived
in September; free medical care to anyone; it was packed
every day it was here (which was around 1 week) |
Intentionally blank |
