Papua New Guinea

Map of Papua New GuineaPapua New Guinea is the second country in Oceania I’m going to summarize. It is the eastern part of New Guinea, an island shared with Indonesia, and it also includes several smaller islands off the east coast of New Guinea.

Papua New Guinea is one of the world’s most diverse countries. The population is just below 6 million people, and there are over 850 different languages spoken in Papua New Guinea. This is one of the few countries where Tok Pisin is an official language, which is a created language based on English during the colonization period. Papua New Guinea is also one of the least explored countries in the world, and a lot of undiscovered plants and animals are thought to live in the deeper parts.

Flag of Papua New GuineaThe geography of Papua New Guinea is also very diverse, ranging from highlands and extremely rugged areas at the spine of mountains through the New Guinea island, to dense rainforests in the lowlands and coast areas. The 20 provinces are the main administrative parts of the country, and each province has its own provincial government, although they are only branches of the national government.

The capital of Papua New Guinea is Port Moresby and the country only gained independence in 1975, from Australia. It is still a part of the Commonwealth.

I need new challenges

A writer’s block is best fixed through writing. A lot of the blogs I used to read every day is now updating less often. They are all writing about writer’s blocks, missing time, lack of inspiration.. and I guess it influences me too. I want, and I need, to write, but I have no idea what :)

I ordered a book about CSS last week, and it has finally arrived. I was going to pick it up, but the package wouldn’t arrive until 18, so now I’m sitting here, waiting impatiently. I hope reading about CSS will give me even more inspiration to build something! I have a few fussy ideas in my head, but nothing serious to work on so far.

I’ve been thinking of installing a dummy blog, to use for design experiments and theme building. I also need to work on the blog/website for our student committee, but the guy designing it isn’t finished yet.. I’m not sure what to do :)

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away… *sing*

Yesterday was a really awesome day :) Sunny, almost warm. I had a class in maths, and it went well, I had a meeting, and it was unusually good. And this is what I woke up to

Good morning sunshine

Wouldn’t you love it too? :)

Indonesia

Indonesia is a transcontinental country, lying on the border between Southeast Asia and Oceania. The name Indonesia originates from Indus (Latin for India) and nesia (Greek for island) and is confirmed to have been used at least since the 18th century, well before Indonesia formed an independent country.

Map of IndonesiaIndonesia also consists of 17,508 islands, which makes it the biggest archipelagic state in the world, and the five largest islands are Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, New Guinea, and Sulawesi. The Javanese are also the largest ethnic group, and the capital, Jakarta, lies on Java. Indonesia holds a population of about 237 million people, making it a densely populated area and the 4th most populated country in the world.

Flag of IndonesiaThe dominating religion is Islam, although it is not declared in official documents. The amount of natural resources available in Indonesia has made it a natural target for foreign powers and it has been influenced by several different cultures. Not until after the second World War did Indonesia finally gain independence, after centuries of being a Dutch colony.

Late

The country for this weekend will be a bit late. Maybe tomorrow.

Expectations

I think I still expect too much of my life, myself, everyone. It’s disappointing and frustrating.
