Papua New Guinea continued

Our flight from Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea to the Karawari river in the Sepik river valley. I was fortunate to get the co-pilots seat on the plane.

This is what life must have been like in the garden of Eden.

No motors. No cars. No soda. No hint of the outside world except for some t-shirts and shorts. 

While "primative" by our standards, these people are happy, healthy and wanting for nothing. It is probably as close to paradise as one can get. Extended families live together in the same house and care for one another. It makes one think about our society. Are we really happier with all of our needs and desires for "things". Or, are we slaves of our lifestyle and possessions?
