you can take the girl out of PNG, but you can't take the PNG out of the girl

My little lady wanted to go in her bilum again today, something she hasn't done for a long time. A bilum is a large bag that ladies in PNG carry their babies in. As I was cleaning out the closet today, she saw the bilum and wanted to go in it. I put her in it and hung it on my bed frame. She was very content and after 30 minutes I told her it was time to get out. She still loves it! There is no way I can carry her on my head, like I did in the village.


In the village...summer of 2008.
