One of the tribes from the high jungle mountain areas paints themselves like undead spirits to scare the other tribes away. Everyone here is quite superstitious and a lot of their free time is spent exchanging legends and stories. The tribe spends hours painting one another to make sure their spirit-bodies are seen from as far away as possible. It was quite a dangerous place here and there are countless tales of headhunting and cannibalism. I didn't feel any intense danger because I've been in some of the craziest situations in the world and I know how to handle myself. Also, I'm a very happy zen person and smile and laugh a lot, which usually seems to disarm people and make them feel comfortable with me. These people are inherently suspicious of white people since they've been exploited for about a century, not to mention all the stuff that South African diamond-miners engaged in. This guy and I hung out for a while. We didn't speak any of the same words, but established some sort of international communication. After a bit, he felt comfortable enough with me so I could take a photo. Goroka, Papua New Guinea

Through The Mists of Milford Sound The mornings are the best in Milford Sound, I think. I’ve been here about seven times now. Even though I had one amazing sunset, I think that the mornings tend to have better luck for photos. Note this is all anecdotal, and I’ll be more sure after I visit 100 times, which I plan to do, by the way! It’s only a few hours from my home… I really have no excuse, do I?- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
