Elderly Chimbu woman with a child (Papua New Guinea) The Chimbu tribes are located in the Chimbu (or Simbu) Province in the central Highlands of Papua New Guinea. The term “Chimbu” was given to the people by the first Australian explorers in 1934, who heard the word?“simbu”?(which is an expression of a pleasant surprise in the local language) exclaimed by the locals when they first met. They are well known for their huge headdresses made from feathers of birds of paradise, with some of them up to one meter long. The tribal people from Chimbu Province decorate their bodies with kina shells, and they may paint themselves with mud and clay mixed with oil from plants and pig's fat to make the body shine and to keep it warm during the cold time of the day. Traditionally, the Chimbu tribes don't live in villages but in dispersed settlements. Typical houses in Chimbu Province are oval or rectangular, with dirt floors, low thatched roofs, and walls woven from flattened reeds. Men live in large communal men's houses (hausman) set on ridges for defensive purpose while women, children, and pigs live in separate houses. Today, with the influence of the modern world, the majority of men and women live together as a couple.

Roberto, I do not know the language of the perfidy Albion.
Metaphor aside:
speaking as one eats? 8-)
Bravo.As usual. ;-)
