Hagen Town: PNGBC
This is one of the main streets of Mt. Hagen. The PNGBC has an automatic teller located on the corner, it is often out of money or order, or both. Security guards are common all through town and when associated with money usually have dogs as well. The Papua New Guineans are terrified of dogs and will often cross the road so as not to get too close: note the amount of clear space around this guard – that is very unusual in Hagen (otherwise the pick-pockets would never be able to ply their trade).
