In regards to weather, Papua New Guinea is very humid and tropical. Meaning hot sun and rain; but in the Highlands it is very cold and cool. This answer is opinionated, will vary from individual to individual. As a Papua New Guinean, grown in Australia my point of view along with many others is Papua New Guinea is still developing. It is a very colourful and diverse country that still has poverty present. To many, Papua new Guinea is a "cool" place because of the many cultures, diversities and island/pacifica life. Though there has been a scare of crime rate and safety (due to poverty, mostly in the capital city; Port Moresby), the islands and villages make up for it. Definately in near future, with more developments, Papua New Guinea will be a very "cool" place.
