So it is much more pleasant - I used to call it the chainsaw massacre after rain - bright red puddles everywhere. i thought it wouldn't last but it seems to have and buai around the place is really less than it used to be. they do spit in plastic bags though so there are often plastic bags around the place which do tend to make my stomach roll!!!

They are less astringent than the lapun ones.<BR/>I always felt that the Tolais were much more discreet and cultured with where they spat the red liquid than the Papua side . When I first walked through Boroko I was shocked at the willy nilly nature of the red stains everywhere.
