- How much is a kina worth in US dollars?
At the moment the Kina has been fairly stable.
One Kina = approx 37 - 38 US Cents (June 2008) but it pays to check on a daily basis as the US dollar does vary against most currencies on a daily basis.

Yes. The Islander Village near the Holiday Inn and Windward apartments downtown spring to mind.

- I would like to know the cost of living and are there any indians around. how much a house for stay cost
There is a very active Indian community in Port Moresby.
The cost of housing will depend on how long you want to stay for and whether you are travelling by yourself or with a family etc.
If you are coming for a short visit then it may be difficult to arrange a house but if you are coming to work then usually your employer will pay the cost of accommodation.
Accommodation ranges from K300 per week upwards. Depending on what you expect reasonable accommodation for an overseas worker would start at maybe K500 but this is going up. An excutive residence may cost you in excess of K2000 per week.
If you are only coming for a short stay in hotel accommodation starts at K100 at places like the Plaza Guest house and costs go up from there.

Please note that this is not "Ask Jeeves" - you cannot type a whole sentence as your query. Enter a word, a phrase, or several words and press search.
Please remember that this is a FAQ database about Papua New Guinea.
Doing a search for PNG or New Guinea or even P.N.G will probably not return much. Keep the search simple. i.e. if you want to find out the population simply enter "population" without the quotes. There is no need to have PNG / P.N.G or whatever in the search string.
Also - Spelling is important searching for 'inkom' will not return items related to 'income'
