Aah, the bettlenut.
No never tried it, looks to disgusting.
Hardest case is the way they advertise it, like this:
1 Bettlenut 50 Toea (Cents)
3 Bettlenuts 2 Kina (Dollars)
Their reason is that if you can afford 3, you must be rich and therefore able to pay more. Go figure.
Another good one, that got me a couple of times, it the pidgin word dead.
A couple of times, one of the staff came in and said such and such were dead, laughing out loud, like it was hilarious. I usually panicked and went to find out more, only to see the "dead" person walking thru the door.
Later I found out that it meant falling over, and to actually die, you had to go "dead pinish". (p is pronounced like f).
Ask them about colours. Goes like this.
Local: its red.
Me: Is it this red (pointing to something red)
Local: no, more red.
Me: Is it this red.
Local: No, less red
Can go on for hours. You should try it over the phone, Ha.
Ah, good memories

Simply AMAZING!!! the best photo set EVER! Not many people in the world can say they did what you have done... And riding in bicycle helmets too, very cool indeed, I can't believe the history that is right under your wheels. I could spend days just climbing around and looking for artifacts.
