Not usually especially if you have paid admission to a cultural event or show but it is polite to ask permission if you are out on the road somewhere. Some people do make a living out of being photographed so you may have to hand over the equivalent of a quarter or so.

- Can I get batteries for my camera / mobile phone etc?
The answer is maybe. It depends on what type of batteries. It is probably better to bring along several spare sets unless you have a charger for your device and then make sure the device works from 240 Volt AC power or maybe a car cigarette lighter. The real answer is be prepared bring spare batteries even if you have a charger.
Note: Most modern chargers will work from 110 - 250 volts AC at 50 to 60 Hertz but CHECK to avoid disappointment.

- Can I get photos developed from memory cards in PNG?
Yes, a couple of places in Port Moresby offer the service but I am unsure of other provinces. If you plan to visit then purchase more memory cards.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but seeing the real thing is even better.
Eagle wood has many names -- a picture of Aloeswood, Aloes wood, Agar wood, Agarwood, Gaharu, Jin koh, Jinko, Eagle wood, Oud, Ood, Ud can be found at -- http://www.oller.net/aloes_desc.htm. I have not had a chance to find pictures of the others (Kwila and Ebony). Perhaps someone reading this can point the FAQ's in the right direction??

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'
