Writing about personal experiences

The other day, I read titled 'The land of the unexpected' it was written by Shirley Fountain, a lady who had lived and worked in certain parts of PNG. As I read the book, I was moved to write about my experiences in CLTC, Banz. Shirley and her husband had also lived and worked in CLTC.

The experiences in the book were similar to my experiences at CLTC. I shed a few tears because I went through the same experiences when I first set foot at CLTC.

Therefore it is good to write personal journals and diaries and record the history for the future.

Hope I will get some comments on Melanesian writing. Even when searching for anthropological stories most were written by expatriates.

This is something to think about.
