Visiting Kompiam (part 2)

Yesterday I went for a walk with one of the Tok Pisin tutors, Lorraine. During our lesson the day before, part of my homework had been to write some sentences about coming to Kompiam. I had written,

Sampela de mi bai laik i go wokabaut daunbilo long wara mi lukim taim mi stap long haus bilong mi.

(Someday I would like to go for a walk down to the river I can see from my house.)

View from my house

A bridge across the river

Ai! Bris i bagarap!
(The bridge is damaged... most likely due to tribal fighting,
where people like to destroy infrastructure)

The hospital complex sits atop the cliff on the left hand side of the picture

Another view of the river

Traditional bush house and gardens

Ol i no tripela, ol i fopela liklik pik!
(They are not three, but four little pigs!)
