Port Moresby

Population: 254,158

Port Moresby or Pot Mosbi in Tok Pisin, population 255,000 (2000), is the capital and largest city of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The city is located on the shores of the Gulf of Papua, on the southeastern coast of the island of New Guinea.

The area on which the city was founded has been inhabited by the Motu-Koitabu people for centuries. It was first sighted by a European in 1873 by Captain John Moresby. It was named in honour of his father Admiral Sir Fairfax Moresby.

The capitol of New Guinea is Port Moresby with a population counting 190 000. In the late 80s and 90s a skyline grew up in this poor city. Wrote it? :)

hm, the skyline is quite nice for such a smal and poor city, and fits well to the scenery aroung the city center. Still it could be better. 6/10

looks like a nice city..but lets face it..poor skyline...6.5/10

Nice looking buildings for a 'poor' city. 7/10

It's quite nice, I was expecting something worse ;) 6/10

nice city although its skyline is still poor................6

that place could be paradise ... give it twenty years and we'll wish the developers never found it

How interesting that the taller buildings are located near sea level. Seems the most vulnerable part of the peninsula. Looks beautiful and probably a great vacation spot. However, few medium height buildings so I can only rate a 3.5.

Are there any nice swimming beaches in PNG?

There are hundreds of nice beaches where you can swim in PNG

However the main beach which you can see in these photos (Ela Beach) by the skyline is not a good beach for swimming.

It is said to be a bit dirty.

Great location and some decent highrises. 6/10

aww this city has nice setting..i give it 5/10.

3/10

Only reason I even looked up Port Moresby is because of the banner up today....I was literally dumbfounded.....:shocked: because you/I never really think of Papua New Guinea as having skyscrapers......even though I've honestly never looked for pics of the city......based off of stereotypes of the country itself.....:ohno:.....

So I must I have to give it a 7/10......partially out of my own bias/stereotypes, partially b/se its never been on my radar screen to look for pics of it, and partially b/se any city with hills near the water always gets great scenery, and partially b/se its not that bad looking skyline........so yeah..........nice pics of Port Moresby....its now on my "urban radar" screen ...... so great :)

What a nice surprise!

I always thought PNG was a backwards, poor place (no offense to anyone from there). However I think that the city of Port Moresby looks really nice, and the skyline isn't too bad either. 6/10 for the skyline.

3.5/10

Nous sommes en pleine guerre contre les salaires commencée avec la construction européenne. Elle ne cessera (provisoirement) que lorsque nous nous en serons libéré.
L’ immigration de peuplement , le patronat ( Bouygues l'avait réclamé en direct à la TV) , Pompidou et Giscard ( contre la constitution européenne duquel on a voté) . Et cela afin d accroître la concurrence entre les ouvriers pour faire baisser les salaires ( 1% d’immigrés en plus c est 1% de salaire en moins) et diviser des populations de moeurs différentes voire opposées. Aujourd'hui le Pouvoir ne fait rien à part du cinéma pour faire cesser ce tsunami migratoire , au moins 400000 immigrés de plus par an selon le rapport d 'un haut fonctionnaire français ( M.Tandonnet) . Hortefeux fait son show en renvoyant dans des conditions révoltantes souvent quelque 15 000 migrants ( de métropole) par an pour faire croire que ce gouvernement agit contre ce phénomène délétère . C'est ce système qui est en cause c est à dire le capitalisme lui même ! L'immigration c est l'autre face des délocalisations , au lieu de délocaliser les capitaux on délocalise les êtres humains. Les premières victimes en sont les immigrés déjà là qui doivent affronter la concurrence des nouveaux venus moins "exigeants" en matière de salaires et de conditions de travail. Les "Gaulois" et leurs enfants subissent en plus le racisme anti blanc anti français de ces populations peu politisées ; les adultes transmettant à leur progéniture des rancoeurs issues de la colonisation ( largement fantasmées) et des valeurs issues du mode de vie tribale ou communautaire étrangères à la civilisation française. Nous devons régulariser les sans papiers par solidarité et afin de mettre fin à cette concurrence «déloyale» et exiger l'immigration zero ! Il ne sert à rien de passer son temps à polémiquer avec les communautaires qui veulent transformer notre société à l'image de celle d où ils sont issus par conviction religieuse ou clientélisme politique. Pas davantage avec les kollabos «blancs» qui livrent par stupidité ou calcul politique la France à l'utra-libéralisme mondialiste ,
1) 37% des français d 'origine étrangère sont propriétaires de leur logement. Les chiffres sont publics, encore faut il avoir la volonté de les chercher
2) La colonisation ( 70 ans dans l'histoire africaine qui en a 15000 !) si elle a enrichi quelques individus ( de toutes races ! noirs, arabes compris) a appauvri la France c est à dire le contribuable . Là encore une abondante littérature existe cf notamment J. Marseille , D.Lefeuvre et autres historiens anglo-saxons
3) l'immigration ne rapporte pas un rond à la masse des Français si elle enrichit les patrons consommateurs de main d 'oeuvre immigrée bon marché . Au contraire elle coûte de l'argent au budget entre 35 et 200 milliard d 'euros annuels selon les auteurs .
4) Les chiffres ( connus de tout le monde médiatique) donnent plus de 70% de délinquants d'origine étrangère dans les prisons .
5) L'immigration de peuplement a conduit aux communautarismes religieux et raciaux.
6) La logique communautaire conduit les populations d'origine étrangère à minimiser les crimes et délits des voyous de leurs communautés. cf la décision de la justice US dans l affaire OJ Simpson qui acquitte un criminel pour éviter des émeutes raciales.
7)Les communautaires et leurs complices substituent la lutte des races à la lutte des classes au profit du Pouvoir et de la bourgeoisie mondialiste ( UMPS etc) .
7L immigration conduit à la baisse des salaires et au chômage ( L’immigration est responsable de 18% du chômage selon M.Allais notre seul et unique prix Nobel d’économie) et touche en priorité les anciens immigrés déjà installés et qui subissent la concurrence «déloyale» des nouveaux venus,
8)les voyous ( ils ont choisi la délinquance plutôt que la lutte sociale et l effort individuel). issus de l'immigration ajoutent à leur action criminelle une composante raciste qui exaspère leurs victimes réelles et potentielles et pousse une partie de la population vers l 'extrême droite qui s apprête à rejoindre la majorité . Madame fille est en lice pour ça !
