1: 0:00:00 (yes I don't have friends in Goroka) 2: 0:00:05 (yes it's hard. I don't have any friends there and there is no house) 3: 0:00:18 (If I had job to do in Goroka I would go. I'd need to have spoken to someone and have agreed on something with them and then I'd go. If I don't have work there then I wouldn't go. If I had a friend in Goroka and I wanted to see him I would go. I don't have any relatives there. If you guys went then I could follow you, if you sang out for me I could come. I can't just go nating, I wouldn't have a place to sleep. I'd go to Madang and meet some friends and I could go with them, but that would be if a friend was in Goroka or a sister and I could go to see them.)

1: 0:00:00 (that's right) 2: 0:00:06 (If I have no friends there I don't go, if I had friends there I would go. Maybe I'd go nating if I wanted to see the place? but I don't have friends there. With no friends there I don't have a place to sleep. If you guys had a house there I'd go, if not then not. I can't go to Australia or Germany but you guys can. If there's someone to give me a house to sleep in I can go somewhere) 3: 0:00:22
