I spent the first 16 years of my life in Majunga. The Northen-Western costal city. And just like you said it's like a ghost town in there during the days. Probably because of the heat. Then I moved to Antananarivo to study Computer Science at the University. The country is beautiful, the people are mostly friendly but we never lived with good life conditions. Sometimes living is Madagascar is like being in Prison. Prisoners of those greedy politicians who get richer everyday so that +80% of the population die in complete poverty. You can't walk a few meters without seeing people so skinny that you can nearly see their bones; that work require 4 times the physical activity a normal human can do just to get $50 a month half of which will be stollen back by govt anyway 😢 I make about 10 to 15 times that but still sad tho. On a positive note, I've been visiting the South-Estern part of the country a week ago. I've been to Isalo, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Even tho it was also the worst trip I've ever been on. About 38 to 40 hours in total inside a very small and uncomfortable Hyundai Starex van, on the worst roads of the planet. I know, I know, it's very hard to stay positive when talking about MY country especially when you lived there for 24 years. But it is what it is. I hope one day we get through this ❤

Austronesian navigators (not necessarily Indonesians) were the first settlers of Madagascar and their descendants (Merina people) with Indian, Arab, European and African contributions form the ethnic base of Madagascar. This origin in the island territories of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Philippines, Borneo etc, etc) implies the same original language. Hence the similarity. But it is true that it is a historical fact that is very little studied and also very enigmatic.

Drive or walk around a lot of North American cities and it seems like there’s no one there. Talk about ghost towns! Most surprising thing is how people Madagascar seem to be height weigh proportioned. Didn’t see anyone that looked obese. Great footage. Seeing this amazing place-Antananarivo-is a case study of sorts of the enormous beauty, variety, and complexity in the world in which we live. To me, the streets weren’t chaotic; they were vibrant!

I am going to Madagascar next year for a few months. I hope to have some fun while there.

For tourists where to do their laundry? For how much? In Tanzania is crazy expensive 1 shirt or per of socks to wash was 5$ USD 😢😢.🇨🇦

[@pddembowski]

Is better to buy some hand soap at the local Shoprite and wash your own clothes in shower. You can get it done by the cleaning ladies in hotels but it is usually overpriced.

Don't be so afraid of Antananarivo dear!😅 We're in the center of all of these diversities so that's why you can find everything and every kind of persons here, including the greatest but also the worst 🤣

[@pddembowski]

"We're in the center of all of these diversities" I like that phrase.

[@djianiandriamihantandriani8821]

@@pddembowski Yeah! It sounds good! Thanks! And I hope/wish you'll discover more good things than bad during your visits!

[@marshall886]

Why is there a fence around the park, do they lock it up at night?

[@pddembowski]

I'm not sure if they lock it up every night, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case.

When is the best month for holidays in Madagascar?

Did you notice the same Old man passing through at the beginning end ending of video at the same location? 00:54 and 16:15

[@pddembowski]

No I did not notice that. Good observation.

[@travel_and_explore_with_BIP]

Beautiful! So what brings you back to Madagascar all the time, if I may ask Sir?? I should check it out!

[@pddembowski]

I seem to go to a country quite often till I want a change. I went to Jamaica 13 times between 2010-2016 haven't been back since. Madagascar is a hard place to travel but there are nice people, beaches, not expensive, good food, etc...

[@travel_and_explore_with_BIP]

@@pddembowski Very Interesting indeed Sir! I can understand! You want to Explore a country! I went to Türkiye 3 times and want to go back, even though I’ve been to other countries since. Going to Jamaica in August though, so I might go back there again instead loool 🤣

[@Andre-yd1ed]

With nice people he means girls. What did you expect?

[@passportbro_assasin]

@@Andre-yd1ed Bingo. Nice people is code word for nice girls. It's obvious from his videos this is why he goes to Uganda and other places to get girls that's impossible for him to get in Canada

[@aventurascomtadeu]

Very Good Video
