9.Cat cafés

We also have Taiwan to thank for this international trend. It all started in 1998 at Cats & Dog Café (still running, but now called Kitten Coffee Garden). It was so named because they kept several cats and just one dog in the café for guests to pet, feed, and photograph.

10. Jay Chou

Born and raised in Taipei, Jay gained an interest in music during childhood when he started capturing sounds and music with his tape recorder. His interest in the art further deepened with his love of piano and cello. 

Jay’s breakthrough came in 2000 with the release of his debut album “Jay,” which is a captivating blend of pop, R&B, and hip-hop, combined with elements of traditional Chinese music. 

Since then, he has grown in his art and diversified into other fields, altogether establishing the biggest global fanbase of any Taiwanese artist. 

Jay’s enormous contributions to Taiwan’s music industry have cemented his iconic status, and he remains a big influence on upcoming artists.

3. Significance 

France has recently signed     a status of forces agreement with Papua New Guinea. Meanwhile, Australia is negotiating a security treaty that is expected to substantially upgrade its longstanding defence cooperation agreement.

This activity all reflects the increasing importance of the Pacific Island countries in the strategic calculations of the democratic powers amid growing Chinese influence and heightened US-China tensions in the region. This is particularly true of Papua New Guinea.

 It’s the largest nation in the region by far, located only a few kilometres from Australia, near the intersection point between Asia and the Pacific.

    You can refer the map from point #1.

( I don't advocate the views that has been put here. I Am Just pasting this as one mere information I have found while searching this country name for this game)

4. Diversity 

In Papua New Guinea, over 852 distinct languages are spoken, and each of these communities have distinct ethnic groups with their own cultures and customs. With 600 islands and terrain that is geographically isolated by volcanoes and mountains, many communities have evolved in total isolation from each other and share few similarities. The bulk of these communities are thousands of years old and have survived colonisation and other significant pressures to maintain their traditional cultures and languages – a testament to the huge resilience and tenacity of these communities.

6. Mumu

The dish consists of vegetables, rice, sweet potato, and pork. the dish is cooked in any earth oven with either coal, or at least in our case hot stones. It is then covered with a whole heap of stuff including herbs and the like, before being covered in banana leafs, from there you wait for it to be ready to eat.

@Komentator isenk, I was thinking about mumu :) From what I know mumu means pig and pigs are very important for the people in PNG, since they show their social status (the more pigs you have, the richer you are)
