1-Taxi brousse. The best way to get around Madagascar. They don’t really have roads (they have what I call “not roads”), so you’ve got to risk it on sketchy roads in a van filled to the brim with other passengers. You throw your stuff on top, hope it makes the journey, and ride for hours in cramped quarters.
2- Another mode of transportation, the Pousse-Pousse. Probably my least favorite. They’re basically a type of rickshaw- you sit in it and you are pulled by the “driver.” I wasn’t really comfortable with the idea of being pulled around town by another human being seeing as I am perfectly capable of walking. Had to do it a couple times under duress.
3- View of some houses in the central-east Tana.
4- We biked 7km to this lake one day. Can you see the fishermen?
5- Madagascar produces lots of sugar and rice. Sadly and ironically, they export so much rice that many of their people are starving.
