This is the Hanuabada section of the newly completed Koura freeway in Port Moresby, which links Waigani to Hanuabada village and Downtown. Despite the road being recently completed, sections of it now look like this, stained by betel nut spit. The construction of the freeway is one of the major projects the Government is undertaking in Port Moresby in the build-up to the Apec Leaders’ Summit in November. Millions of kina are being spent with the help of China and all that work is being spoilt by betel nut chewers who cannot control their disgusting habit.
