Considering working in Lae - any information would be appreciated

Hi All,

I am considering a job in Lae and my wife would also be coming along for the adventure. We are both Australian (although my wife was born in NZ), we are early 40's and would really appreciate any information on your experiences in Lae, what living there is like, what to do after hours and on weekends, what the ex-pat community is like, is there any sporting groups or gyms to join, what the safety is like and probably a silly question but has anyone brought their dog with them?

I know lae. It is a good place. I would rate the following
1. Food is surplus with low price compared to Port Moresby
2. Population is less than port moresby
3. Lae is the industrial area in PNG
4. Lae you can go to Mandang adn Goroka.
5. Have good residental areas.
6.Moro Exploration comapny in Morobe
7.The people of Morobe are friendly.
8. It is called raining lae becaus of heavy rain.
If you want to know me contaact me on email.sebastine.sigl@spsnpng,com
