By 1996, it may already have been rebuilt. It is no coincidence, therefore, that Yap's cultural centre has been designed around the centrepiece of a model men's house. Although it does not itself stand at the head of a real singsing ground, and is not meant to be 'used' in earnest, at least access must be gained by pushing through a gate off the singsing ground, with its rotting kng pup tethering stakes reminding people of the pigs that were given away four years ago. Yap has taken an exaggerated care to include every architectural feature that a men's house could possibly have. The roof is capped with the correct red clay.
Entrance is gained through an arch hung with pigs jawbones.
The rumint inside is decorated with an elaborate spray of correctly chosen leaves. Very few of these features would register on even a discerning tourist. Hageners would recognise them, but as with similarly 'authentic' tourist attractions in other countries, the completeness of the house may be taken as an abstraction of what the material expression of culture should be like, rather than how it is. Yap did make a representation to the provincial government, and was advised in this by his brother, who holds a senior position in a Management Agency in Mount Hagen. An official visited Romunga in mid-1989, but nothing came of this.
