Bird of Paradise Hotel
There are several supermarkets and stores clustered between the post office and the Bird of Paradise Hotel. Souvenir sellers camp outside the Bird, stringing up their bilums (string bags), hats, spears, bows, masks, Buka-ware and jewellery on the wrought iron fences of the provisional government building. Some mild haggling is acceptable here.

market
The open-air market is interesting to walk through. It's very busy on Saturday, but colourful any day and you'll see piles of potatoes and exotic leafy greens as well as more familiar tomatoes, capsicums and avocados. Bilums and Highland hats are sold, as are spools of intensely colourful twines and strings used in bilum manufacture. Watch out for pickpockets.
