Summary of Dennis James's Songs of the Baka and Other Discoveries
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was 76 years old and Barbara was 70 when we went trekking in Papua New Guinea. We were tired and covered in sweat, and we should have been sipping Pernod at Les Deux Magots café on the Boulevard Saint-Germain or wandering through the back streets of the Trastevere in Rome.
#2 Papua New Guinea is a destination that is enticingly exotic but too difficult to get to and get around in. We put together a unique itinerary that involves three- to four-day treks in three zones of PNG, interspersed with one-day stays at Western-style hotels.
#3 We spend thirty cramped hours in aluminum tubes, plus six or seven hours of layovers in sterile, sprawling airports. Our flight from LA to Brisbane is in almost total darkness as the plane races ahead of the sunrise. We fly through several time zones and cross the international dateline.
#4 The Highlanders of New Guinea have never had contact with the outside world. They have lived in isolation for thirty thousand years, and they have developed their own language and culture.
