Hi there,
I may be offered an expat assignment to work in PNG on the LNG project. While the package is extremely tempting, I am a 39 year old female European, British but based in NZ. How safe is it for a female in PNG? I keep hearing lots of war stories on how bad it is, but would welcome a balance of responses and some common sense advice on how to avoid getting into trouble over there. I am also a pretty sociable person, is there a big expat social scene? How socially isolating is it, when living in a compound?
Any replies / advice would be most welcomed.
Sarah
