Yesterday morning I headed off with Shannel, Karlyn and baby Anna for a bit of an adventure. This is always a novelty for me as I spend much of my week at the house :) The International School of Lae was having it's fundraising market (similar to a school fair) and we went to check it out. I'd been once before when I was here in 2014 and was super impressed by the quality of the items and I wasn't disappointed this time! There were lots of local arts and crafts, jewellery, food and a few other stalls. The stallholders do their very best to encourage you to buy their wares!!! After looking around the market for a while we went and had coffee before heading home. It was a fun morning and great to get out and see some more of the PNG culture.
Enjoy the photos (they're a little blurry but so be it!)
I love these paintings - here you can see a piece which shows how much the culture has changed over the years. The words on this painting say 'man bilong past' and 'man bilong nau.'
This painting is the same as the one above, but showing how culture has affected the appearance of women. Quite telling isn't it!
These woven rugs are absolutely stunning!
I bought this carving. Here is the artist that made it.

Anna absolutely LOVED the highchair!
