Chief Somare's Foundation

The Somare Foundation was built when Chief Sir. Michael Somare was a greate leader of Papua New Guinea.
The house looks unique and the area also shown respectful and beautiful. 
The area keeps silent and noiceless everyday not to disturb our leaders or the staffs.
Sometimes later, the house was inspected by a group of building inspectors.


After inspecting, they have sent a sad report to the staffs and the owner of the building that; "The Somare Foundation is no in good condition. It shakes like the earthquake's vibrations." 
They have sent warning notice to leave that house and dislocate everything in it.
To confirm, the other group of inspectors and investigators reinspected and investigated that it was true and confirmed.
So the house was left and the staffs transfered to another locations.

Today, you can see that the house is still there with its original shape and designs outside but inside is empty.
Very sad but still beautifying this respected area and does not produces eye sores.

The old Pineapple Building

 Just look at this beautiful pattern of this Building.  The pattern looks like a Big Pineapple from the garden. Well, this is not a pineapple but, this is one of the buildings in Port Moresby which was the country's  departmental head offices have been installed. The building sitted on the eight (8) posts. Its unbelievable but it is true. 

Anyway, the very sad story about this building is that; 'during the operation period of this building, the occupants felt that the house was in movable condition and shakes every day.' They have questioned  "why this happened to this house?"Something must be wrong' we better leave this house before we're destroyed. They have deeply discussed regarding this matter and all agreed to leave this building and they have left absolutely. Before, they leave this building, they had a big moan and lastly they had big farewell party and left. They very sadly dislocated every thing from this building and transferred to another building. Today, very, very sadly you can see is only the white skeleton stand still just beside the Morauta House or today we normally say,"Prime Minister's Office." But it never loses its beautiful design and patterns to show that it is still the best of all the buildings in Port Moresby City. The area is restricted and secured. If they catch any one inside, they'll be judged PGK500.00 (US$167.00)spots fine.
If you really want to know more about it or see it, just make your way to Port Moresby and you will see it with your naked eyes. Feel free... feel at home... Love Port Moresby...  

See you there in Port Moresby
