The International Border of Indonesia – Papua New Guinea
November 11, 2013
Back again, still in the most
eastern part of Indonesia which is a border to another country. As my previous
post regarding another country, I used English instead of Indonesia Language.
Okay here we go!
The International Border of
Indonesia – Papua New Guinea (PNG) existed in several area along the “Bird Body”
(well you could check your Google Maps). The one I visited was Skouw-Wutung. In
this area, there is a gate—a big one—engraved with a broken English which
appear to be the local language of PNG. In the Indonesian side, there is a
market. The market is crowded with PNG people who bought Electronic and daily stuffs.
In PNG side, it’s kind of lonely, and not as crowded as in the Indonesian side.
In spite of it, I went across the
border—and D*mn, my cellular connection is on and it’s already changed to PNG’s
Cellular Provider. It means I already in another country, I got this data
roaming connection (and it really cost me MUCH). So don’t ever forget to turn
off your mobile connection or at least your data connection.
Back to the caprianist core
product which is food, in the border there are several sellers who sell the
product of PNG. The favourite one among the tourists is TWISTIES. It’s just a little bites with a cheese flavor, and I love
it too. But I think the one you don’t want to miss is the Fried Lamb. You could
buy it with Rp. 50,000.- / piece. It’s just a plain fried lamb but it really is
delicious. The sellers usually sell the lamb with beef sausages. Forget about
the sausages though, it really is not special in every way. Oh the funny thing
here is they receive Kina (PNG’s currency) and Rupiah (Indonesia’s currency)
and they speak Indonesian language fluently. Don’t forget to bring home the
Australian Corned Beef packed in a red package.
Even only in a border, I already
found so many things to be reviewed, I wonder what would I found If I went to
the Capital city of PNG, Port Moresby?
So if you’re interested. Try this
stuff in Skouw-Wutung, Indonesia-PNG International Border.
Enjoy! :)
