@poganstick: Yes, five days is too long. There's really not a lot to do there unless you stay at the ultra-luxury Airways Hotel or at Loloata. In one day you can get a feel for the city. Two if you really want to explore it.

Having an escort is helpful, but not necessary. You can walk around Town, villages like Hanuabada, and take the PMVs around on your own during the daytime no problem. If you go to public markets and shady neighbourhoods, then I'd make a local friend.

Thanks for catching that spelling error, Felicity. It was a tough task gathering a list of dangerous areas in Moresby. Everyone I asked said something different, but a few names came up more than once. Kone was one of them. I also thought it looked alright, but I wasn't there long enough to really know.

I read Port Moresby is the wort city for living.

dude, cool video..."while in Port Moresby, never walk alone at night. never talk on your phone or show anyone you have any cash. never use an ATM or take public transportation. never go anywhere alone. don't go swimming in the ocean. don't go buy groceries alone. don't drink the water. don't eat anything unless it's McDonald's. don't eat the McDonald's either. don't go to the park or take a ride in any car...etc..."

i'm going somewhere safe and quiet by comparison...like south central LA =/
