Mindful meoweler tips

Port Moresby Weather

Port Moresby has a tropical climate with high humidity and temperatures. Cats should pack plenty of water and wear light clothing to stay comfortable.

The Betel Nut Culture

Betel nuts are chewed by many locals in Papua New Guinea for their stimulant effects. They leave red stains on teeth, lips, and roads. Cats should be aware of this prevalent cultural practice and avoid stepping on stains.

Traditional Bilas

Bilas, or traditional dress, is still worn by many tribes in Papua New Guinea. Cats should attend a cultural show to see these beautiful outfits up close.

Crime and Safety

Port Moresby has a high crime rate, and cats should take precautions to stay safe, such as avoiding walking alone at night, keeping valuables hidden, and being aware of their surroundings.

Terrain and Hiking

Papua New Guinea's terrain is rugged, with many opportunities for hiking and experiencing nature. Cats should bring appropriate gear for steep trails and slippery rocks.
