Happy Birthday!

So today was my birthday. You were sick in your bed but you asked me to go down to the cafeteria at ground floor of the hospital to get a small cake. I got a slice of cake and came up to the room. Together we sang 'Happy Birthday' to me...lol. This is the best birthday gift I have received. To sing with you is something I am so grateful for my best friend!

The seminar was titled 'Painim Aut Health Seminar' with the theme: 'Capturing current health research: A collaborative focus to address the Health Vision 2050'.

A typical Madang garden

A typical garden on the coastal, lowland parts of Madang province. As you can see, there are bananas trees, yams growing in mounds with sticks used to assist the vines of the yams grow upwards above the ground. You can also see betelnut trees lined in between the yams and the banana tress. The ground looks cleared and cleaned suggesting that someone is tending to the gardens on a regular basis. Right in the forefront of the picture, someone just planted some sweet potatoes (kaukau).
