Bougainville - Papua New Guinea

[whatsoldisnew]

i wonder if this pyramid scheme has been shown for the fraud it is? i wasn't born in Bougainville but spent 10yrs growing up in panguna with ma, pa and sister. my sister was born there. such a pity the wealth of the mine wasn't parlayed into health, education and infrastructure for the islanders and the broader png nation. if it has i've not seen the evidence. how can a country so well endowed with natural resources be bankrupt? anyone in buka come across a friend of mine, dominic telesi?

I lived there about 35 years ago, when I was around 4 or 5 years old.

The environment was very primitive, natural and unspoiled. (aside from the copper mine)

I remember it as a fun place to live.
