Workers on an Indian tea plantation (probably wage labourers ), cheers for the photo, thanks to the creator   We’ve been thinking, drawing up plans, deliberating and discussing travel routes that would be best for eco travel (#nomoreflying), considering food cultures most welcoming towards plant-based people like us, and looking at social issues that we could report on as blogger-journalists… so here’s a list of vegan-friendly countries we haven’t been to yet (or have been to but we were not vegan at the time). #1. India As it is well-known, it is super-easy to be vegetarian in India: it has the largest number of vegetarians in the world, about 30% of the total population (according to a 2018 survey ), around 500 million people ( says a 2020 article). According to the previous source, only one percent of those 500 million Hindus ‘are strict vegans, so the total number of vegans in India is approx 5 million’. Not bad, eh? So hell yeah, India is our no. 1 on this list… besides the vegan

Bank South Pacific has recently installed 120 automated teller machines (ATMs) as part of its continued efforts in improving its services. Twenty-seven (27) have so far been replaced in the nation’s capital with another ninety-three (93) more to be installed by the end of March in Port Moresby and Lae respectively. BSP Retail Group General Manager, Daniel Faunt says ATM outages are not related to cash availability, as all BSP ATMs carry sufficient levels of cash and there is more than enough liquidity in the banking system.  Although BSP does a significant amount of work to ensure ATM quality cash is available, often times the poor quality of bank notes impacts ATM hardware.  BSP encourages customers to contact its Call Center when encountering issues with a particular ATM machine so its teams can attend to them in a more immediate and possible manner.  NBC News / PNG Today next :  PNG Trade Minister Maru Welcomes Australia’s Support for Special Economic Zones in PNG
