What are some typical ways to socialize, either with local people or with other expatriates? Are there groups or clubs that you can recommend?
Getting together with other families, day trips to Sogeri, Crystal Rapids, Owen's Corner, Black Rock and other beach areas. The bushwalking group is a good, safe way to see the countryside. The beaches around POM are not gorgeous though. - May 2019
You may have to work at it, but there are ways to meet people. The Yacht club and Aviat club are social clubs with restaurants and gyms. There are groups that snorkel and dive or bushwalk. If you put yourself out there, you will find non-mission friends. - Jun 2016
Moderate social life, mainly in homes or at the Yacht Club. For singles, at the hotel bars and Yacht Club. Some live music. No cinema or bowling alley. Occasional art or theater events. People tend to be around on the weekends because travel in PNG is all by air. Children do not usually invite all the kids in the class to their parties, so it is not a constant birthday circuit like in some posts. - Jun 2008
