C1 UNIT 5. CULTURE CLASHES

TRIBE 

Members of the Insect tribe of the Commonwealth nation of Papua New Guinea, whose Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II, have visited London and were amazed by what they saw. They were in awe of the great dome of St Paul's Cathedral, and technology such as the London Underground

The ultimate culture clash...

What happened when a tribe of crocodile-hunting polygamists came to visit Britain

The Commonwealth nation of Papua New Guinea, whose Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II, lies just north of Australia. It gained its independence from Australia in 1973. Papua New Guineans adore the Queen and look at her with fascination and awe.
