Exotic Tribes
Be a responsible traveller. Show tribal people respect and meet them on their premises. Visiting people with a different lifestyle and culture could sometimes be a very rewarding adventure, but be aware of that many tribal communities are extremely vulnerable to outside influences. All tribal people need to be protected from tourists in order to preserve their unique lifestyle and cultures. Travellers should understand that some tribes would like to live undisturbed, and that visit would be an intrusion.

We were deep in the jungle in Papua New Guinea. Silently danced the Mud Men warriors towards us with cat soft moves. Suddenly they pull their bows and aimed at us with the arrows. Our hearts beat, and for a while we stopped breathing......

Det tok ikke lang tid før damene begynte å danse, men da mennene startet deres egen ville danse ble jeg fort utfordret til å delta. Det utviklet etter hvert seg til å bli en real kamplek, som ikke var helt uten fare for alvorlige skader. Den fryktede Choopy-dansen kan ta pusten fra hvem som helst!
