I was responding to a comment below about a music video of a Solomon is. Song using Africans so people think it's an African song.

I have read Paul Theroux's book from the 1990s. Makes me miss home!!!

Can someone tell me something! I am looking for a good island to venture too. I was wondering how much land is remote on this island. Like how much untouched land is there and are the locals here friendly. Anything I should know before making a trip here?

[Kandemangs]

@charliethenighthawk7 I would suggest you go to Siasi island in PNG. Pls take note every ppl in PNG are friendly dont be mislead by those reporters.

[Keallei]

@charliethenighthawk7 did you ever go? i want to go. paul theroux wrote a book about his travels in the early 90s. would love to hear your experiences
