A letter from Patches McPatches - Chapter 2

We are learning about the different countries in the world.  Patches is teaching us about life in PNG.

Shopping at Kapuna.

After school I went to the shop. There’s only one little shop at Kapuna. I brought some rice with my kina. Kina is the kind of money they have in Papau New Guinea. The shop isn’t like a supermarket where you fill up your trolley. You stand behind the counter and tell shop keeper Anna what you want and she’ll get it for you then tell you how much it costs. Anna let me help her serve the customers. It was really fun!

What do you notice about the style of shop is in the photo? 
What is for sale?    
Compare the quantity goods compare to the place your family shops. What do you notice?  What does this tell you about the diet of the people in Kapuna?
What sort of money do they use?  How much do things cost?  What is that in NZ money?

Read  more tomorrow!
