Highland Dancers - PNG style!

Went out for a drive today with a PNG friend of mine to visit his "tok ples" (home village) about an hour away from Hagen. En route we passed through a small town where a major celebration was underway. There was singing & dancing in full traditional Highland dress - Birds of Paradise feathers all over the place. It was great to stumble across this authentic, definitely not for the tourists, celebration.


Here's a few photos of these rather fearsome looking Highland Dancers.
