Port Moresby×Yangon
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Port Moresby uses the PGK (K) and Yangon uses the MMK (Ks). Language shifts too — English in Port Moresby, Burmese in Yangon. Be careful behind the wheel: Port Moresby drives on the left, Yangon on the right.
