Owning a home in PNG

These questions plus many more were answered during the two-day Real Estate Show at the Sir John Guise Indoor Stadium in Port Moresby over the weekend.

Hausples.com.pg had organised the Real Estate Show with over 7,000 people recorded to have visited the show during the two days it ran.

Yes, this is a real house completely encased in ice

This igloo -- er, house -- is in Webster, New York, just outside of Rochester. The area is one of the snowiest in the country, thanks to freezing winter temperatures and the moisture of the nearby Great Lakes. In the case of this prank of nature, high winds joined in the party and coated the house in layer after layer of ice.

Photographer John Kucko captured the scene, and says the area has had some particularly nasty weather lately.

Why Ivan’s picture of Tambul home trending

Ivan Koitaga Mano updated his profile picture on Sunday, February 19 and this has been shared over 35 times on individual accounts and groups reaching millions more on this social media platform.

In the picture, an ‘”ordinary” Ivan is seen dressed casually but standing in front of a very modern house of Asian design.

It’s the caption though that catches the attention, sending the picture viral: Best and unique house in PNG first of this and is still under construction- Tambul.

We will perform better if looked after well, says teacher

“We really need the Government to look into teachers’ salary. What most teachers are receiving, I personally feel that it’s not enough,” said the lower primary section head of Koki Primary School, Joephine Solok.

The Grade 5E teacher, who has been in the profession for 32 years, told Loop PNG on Tuesday: “Teachers’ housing should also be considered, even though it is not a condition.

“If they look after their teachers and build houses I’m pretty sure their teachers will be the best.”
