I have noticed learning local culture is key for field staff

The way people eat, speak, think, live, and work is different. Look..! the way they build their houses. Don't you think they are matched with the nature? What a local wisdom!
In remote places like Wamena there are a lot of new things to learn. An outsider like me must be able to adjust with local culture. I need to show my genuine respect to their culture as an entry point before engaging with the work.
