Madagascar

[Neddy69]

Anyone has experience with Transformable visa?

Specifically from USA and for Retiree kind??

Can you share about how easy or bureaucratic it really is from the MADA embassy in Washington DC?

Msota.

It's very easy.

First fly to Madagascar to open a bank account which is mandatory. Then fly back to the US and apply for the Visa transformable. Provided you have the other papers complete like cahier judiciare. You might get it. Then fly back with the transformable in your passport. Then you wait between 1 month and 6 months in Tana for your Visa long sejour Retraite to be approved. Ah and not to forget. Another shitload of paper you need to furnish. If you have good French. If you don't know what you're doing I consider your chance to get one as NIL.

23 stops on that train route. Better bring your lunch. And dinner.

In the end, yes it was torture. But the stops and the food was excellent. Boiled "ecrevisse" where the highlights next to the usual street food. All I take with me is clean water. I remember one girl in first class resident which always made eye contact with me when I was leaning out the window. At a stop late at night there werde some girls and boys playing with each other in a group in the dark. This time certain I would try to participate. LOL.

[Golfinho]

I guess, I have been there twice already, passed it on the RN2 - LOL. On my way to Toasamina.

This time it will likely to happen, I will stay there for one or two nights. The Bezanozano Hotel Moramanga looks very promissing.

Inspiring seasoning news for the upcoming visit.

For that, you still have to get to Moramanga. Any idea how the Chinese are progressing on the roadwork? The bottleneck leaving Tana in direction of Moramanga has been eliminated with a new dual carriage expressway. It'll take years if not decades if ever to complete it all the way to Tamatave though.

Back from 3 weeks in Mada, and as promised, a report.

1 week in Tana, 2 weeks in Nosy Be.
Precautions: like in Brazil, no jewelry, no watch, no display of wealth, no camera, no iphone 14 in the street, in short, get low profile. Especially in Tana.

Thanks for you nice report seems you have good time and done quiet well! Some members from here should learn reporting from you! I just don't agree about chez tantine restaurant as I have light food poisoning from this place and my friend has poisoning here before also! I preferred more to eat at gargotte chez papa bebeto very similar to chez tantnine food was arriving quickly big portions and cheap between 15-25 k per dish. But I liked chez tantine for one cute waitress who works here young 20 years old, slim without kids great attitude and fucks great I even repeat her few times (which I not do often) she was always happy with my 30 k pay for her for few hours spend with me as her salary from restaurant was 200 k per month. But after few visits she becomes to much comfortable and decide to visit my bungalow without invitation as I ignore her messages for few days. As she comes I was waiting another girl and it pissed me off she come without invitation so I told her to leave and blocked her on facebook. I agree with you glacier girls is low quality its getting hard to find something fuckable here every year quality getting worst and worse. Mansoon its hit and miss most of the times also but a bit better than glacier! Taxibe was my favourite spot to find a girl I like from hundred girls it was at least 1 or two I liked. Taxis at night is possible like examples:5 k for short distance like glacier to mansoon or 8-10 k from mansoon to taxibe but you need to speak with a 1-2 different drivers till they accept this price. The drivers standing near discos is always rip off better to walk few meters away or catch moving taxi instead.

Especially nice to read that you scored with good manners and French skills also receptionist, chambermaid, waitress. Brings back fond memories.

Back from 3 weeks in Mada, and as promised, a report.

1 week in Tana, 2 weeks in Nosy Be.
Precautions: like in Brazil, no jewelry, no watch, no display of wealth, no camera, no iphone 14 in the street, in short, get low profile. Especially in Tana.

Tana:
Airport transfer: 70.000. Frankly, no interest. Dirty, polluted, trafic jams, gangs of kids aged 3 to 10 who beg day and night, and above all. Nothing to do during the day. Not even a nice place or a nice terrace to sip a drink. Nice 'Muse de la photo' in town and beautiful lemur park 1 hour away.
The only interest of Tana: nightlife.
Best places:
Glacier (dark and rather low end: 5-6/10 on average).
Taxi Be (hundreds of girls of all kinds, of all colors, pros, semi-pros, normal girls who come for fun in group or with the family. 5 to 9/10).
Manson (rather chic, lots of pros, good atmosphere with Marco, good sound 7 to 9/10).
Red (good old school hip hop funk sound) .

It is essential to take a taxi at night, even for 100 meters. Taxi: 5,000 to 10,000 during the day, 15,000 at night for journeys within the city.
A very serious taxi at the right price and always punctual: SOLOFO 034 04 132 32. It also does airport transfers.
A good hotel: the Pousse Pousse. Very nice room with safe, nice bathroom and king size bed for 150,000 (30 eur).
Good restaurants: Sakamanga, Nerone (Italian), LE Buffet du Jardin.

For those who want to buy wild pepper 'poivre sauvage' (the one with a small tail) at the Analakely market, it's 60,000-70,000/ kg max. It must be very black. If it is gray or with whitish spots, it has taken on moisture and is moldy.
For honey, it is better to buy glass jars at the leading price or super you, and avoid any plastic bottle filled by hand: the honey is systematically cut.
For vanilla, the subject is too long to be developed here. Be aware, however, that the vanilla sold on the street is of poor quality: small, dry, split and empty pods. An extra * vanilla (and not that of Mexico, that of Mada) coming directly from the producer of Sambava and wrapped in waxed paper costs between 400,000 and 600,000/ kg.

Nosy Be:
A true paradise for French speakers! After having visited fifty countries, Mada is now at the top of the list, ahead of Thailand, RepDom and Brazil!
Airport transfer. Ambatoloaka: 70.000.
Overall cool atmosphere, never felt insecure in 2 weeks. In Ambatoloaka, you can walk without problems even at night. A lot of expats, retired or not, that's a good indicator. Renting a car is strongly recommended (80,000/ day, or 16/ day) for a small new Hundyai. We don't even ask for a driving licence. However, you should know that there is no insurance, so drive very carefully. The condition of the rutted roads limits the speed. I don't think I ever exceeded 60 km / h! With a car, it is easy to walk around the different spots of Nosy Be, without the hassle of the bajaj (tuk tuk). Stay in Ambatoloaka, it is where it all happens. Good hotels at 30/ night: Kokoloko, and Perle Rare. I do not recommend the Benjamin hotel: one night was enough. I haven't slept: rustic straw huts, bad mattress, mosquitoes, music from the bars as if the speakers were in the room, non-existent wifi, in short, the hassle. Kokoloko offers an apartment with two separate king size bedrooms: ideal for 2 travel buddies. For those with a good budget, the must is the Sarimanok. Ambatoloaka is a 'village' with a single main street, lined with bars, restaurants, hotels, beach shops, etc. Festive and 'messy' atmosphere as we like it, from 6 pm. At night, the streets and bars are filled with girls. Average: 7-8/10.

Finish the night at the club 'the djembe'. Walk there from the main street; no feeling of insecurity here.

Good restaurants: batumoch (from the sarimanok hotel) and gargotte 'chez Tantine', where you can choose your fish on the beach around 6 pm For dinner.

To do: spend the day at Andilana beach (eat either on the gargotte side at Vro for authenticity, or on the more select cocoa beach side).
Go to Nosy Iranja and sleep there at Olivia's.
Go to Nosy Sakatia at Alberto's at Danae beach (we pick you up at Shanty beach), and sleep there too.
Go to the sacred waterfall near ambatoloaka (warning: rough road: Bush driving experience is required).
Diving in the tanikelly reserve with Boris from Mada Scuba (opposite the Mamma Mia pizzeria).

Girls:
Gasy girls are generally nice, very GFE, 1 m60-1 m65, slim, very beautiful skin, very beautiful natural hair (wigs are very rare, unlike on the African continent), and funny. No fat, just muscle. Perky and firm asses, with a tiny waist and a muscular back ideal for lovers of doggy style. In general, they all BBBJ, and rather very well.

It's the only country I know where you can have sex with all kinds of girls very naturally and so easily: receptionist, chambermaid, waitress,. A smile, a compliment, a phone number, an appointment and that's it.

Rate: 50,000 - 60,000 for the night. I didn't do any ST, and besides, it's not usual here. Never negotiated before, and always given based on attitude. Never had a problem with the price. Some ask more for the taxi, so I give 5,000 or 10,000. For the few 'normal' girls kept for several days, I never gave any money as such, but of course I take care of them (restaurants, excursions, a bathing suit or a sarong.). Some massage very well, with ylang ylang oil (5000 a small bottle), and kindly offer it to you before sleeping. Or sucking: then you are the king of the world!

Next time, I will go straight to Nosy Be, and avoid the totally useless Tana stage.
Cost of living for a 'tourist' on site who enjoys life very well: 100 eur/ day. All inclusive: good hotels, good restaurants, taxis, great excursions, a girl every night, extras. In short, everything! The quality / price ratio in this country is totally unbeatable.
The only constraint: the total absence of serious medical infrastructure. In the event of a problem, you will be evacuated to french Reunion island. It is therefore necessary to be in good health and to take care of oneself. Plan a substantial medicine kit.
The food in Nosy Be is excellent: just the catch of the day: grilled fish, camarones, prawns, crabs, lobster, . Well prepared in general. In Nosy Be, I don't think I've ever exceeded 10 for a meal, the average being 5-6 for a very good dish-dessert at the restaurant. Full breakfasts with omelette costs between 12,000 and 15,000, that's around 2-3.

There are ATM everywhere. I recommend those of BMOI because without commission per withdrawal, and withdrawal up to 1,200,000 AR. When we know that the largest bill is 20,000 (about 4), a bundle of 60 bills comes out; you must have big pockets!
The only ATM who asked me for a commission of 8000 per withdrawal are those of the Societe Generale.

In general, always ask for the price in AR and pay in AR. Otherwise they will convert the euro with a shit*why rate, like 4300 while the current rate is 4850.

Nothing special anymore. Hmm maybe true.

If you want to retire in Mada or even in your home country, you need to go to that destination and start your planning now.

It's people new to travel who take pictures. Frequent travelers hardly break out their cameras. Nothing seems special anymore.

[Slowalk]

I had to go back to posts from 10-15 years ago to see photos of beautiful Malagasy girls. These were the stuffs that had inspired me to one day visit Madagascar, when I retired.

What happens to all the beautiful photos? I am sure frequent seniors still take photos and videos during their trips.

Just not smart persons sharing photos with girls faces on sexforums or somewhere else on internet. If girls allowed make photos you should be respectfull and not share on internet of her face where someone can recognise her and show to her family and so on. Also sharing nude photos with faces can land you into trouble! Discreet photos without face is sounds fine as long nobody can recognise the girl!! . Why someone should ruin the girls life or just risk himself get into trouble to satisfied some trolls and dream travellers on this forum? If you want beautiful malagashy girls photos go on google and search for it!
