The year is 1989 and after living the last 3 years in Bundi Kemp and
Nawae Block Settlements after dropping out of high school, curious teenager
Silas went to Madang to lie low for a while after stepping out on the wrong
side of the law one too many times. Accompanied by Madang Locals, Bigfoot and
Mike, Silas caught a BK bus from Eriku to Madang.
From Madang Town they caught another PMV to a village in the Amele
region a couple of hours out of town. That would become home for the next few
months. Silas, with Bigfoot as his teacher would learn how to live like a
villager, he would clear the bush and plant gardens he would learn to enjoy
simple pleasures like eating Taro from the fire with a fresh chilli from the
tree.
