In the small town Maunt-Hagen missing in mountains of New Guinea, I dreamed to get there since that moment as soon as I found out about the well-known holiday of Papuans. There is an opinion that a traditional meeting of the tribes who lives in mountainous areas of island, no more than a trap for tourists, like masayian villages in Kenya. No, it is not true. The festival which is already available more than a half century is the most important social aspect. It is a question of rapprochement and dialogue of tribes which frequently live rather separately and tell about each other different fables (in this sense Papuans do not differ from Europeans). To look at annual festival tourists came from all countries of the world that does not prevent to remain it the original phenomenon.
