Hi
i have 3 questions
1. i need a safe and cheap accommodations , i couldn't found a Host on CS
2. from the airport exist a bus in to town?
3. all what i read about PNG is worse but is it realy gambling on my life?

1 not easy - see some recent posts

2 there is a PMV stop near the airport at seven mile but i dont think they run right up to the terminal
i am sure someone will be able to help direct you

3 POM is much safer than it used to be but it can still be dangerous - dont walk or drive at night
dont flash money or cameras in public places - stay cool and aware - some areas you should not visit at all

for an experienced traveller it shouldnt be a problem - parts of chicago are as dangerous - one isssue
is that everything is so strange the normal clues and behaviour may not be present that would normally
alert you

have a great trip
