Fool! You could've walked out to the main road and got it for 19,000. What's the point of travelling to the other side of the world if you can't spend as little as possible.

Do I know you? Have you been there? I guess not else you wouldn't say that.

I said 20 k is the normal rate.

So what s the point of overpaying fool?

This Tulear girl I met in Manson bar in Tana.

Manson is great. Very much girls especially on weekends.

Very hot atmosphere, girls are chasing the white men like we chase the girls back home.

I went also to Glacier but not so beautiful girls over there.

One can compare Mada with the Philippines. Also girls very much into GFE experience and lots of BB action.

Sweet girl. Very nice.

Well I succeeded to get 20 k both ways once I got confirmation from a local girl it was the normal rate. So keep bargaining guys don't make vazahas fooler than they are.

50 k or above is silly, yes. But the 20 k I think depends on the time of the day. If you arrive late and there is only one car on the parking lot, you not have much bargaining power. Out from town its more easy during daytime if you are at a spot with many cabs passing.

Sad that the bus vanette is no longer working, due to the airport mafia.

Well then if it s late then it should be cheaper because there is no traffic. That's the main excuse drivers use in daytime to try to keep the price high.

The bus shuttle stopped not because of the airport mafia (I assume you talk about the taxi drivers) but because of the change of the company which runs the airport at the beginning of this year.

Some BM quoted he paid 35000 AR for a taxi from Ivato airport.

People who ask 50 k or more are to be ignored including hotel transfers.

Hi Concarne,

I have been twice and I think you will find it not so much different than 7 years ago. Probably in general better infrastructure (a little better) with many exceptions, such as the road from Diego to Ambanja. It barely deserves the name road, much less a national highway.

I suspect there are less opportunities to find girls not in the game unless you are into the boonies but I don't mind pay for play so for me it's a non issue. Unless things have changed in 10 months then I suspect you will find no shortage of girls wherever you go. I am more into availability and looks rather than student, semi pro pro etc. Etc. I don't care as long as we click and have a good time. As for beaches and parks, still plenty around and the eco thing has become popular so no lack of options if you want that.

I am of the opinion that there are no more Shangri Las out there and if there is people who know of it are smart enough to keep it to themselves! Interestingly I too was thinking of a jaunt to SA specifically Ecuador, Peru and Chile. My lack of Spanish is the main drawback but I also like to see things in a new country other than clubs and bars. That's not to say I don't want to find the girls and brothels, if there any to be found!

I will be there for at least some of the time you are, specifically the last couple of weeks of August in Diego and then later on to Tamatave with the idea of a side trip to SM since DonOmar's gushing report of a new paradise! Maybe we'll cross paths.

Hi guys,

I'll write some personal impressions about my Mada experience. As I see, every time someone expresses an opinion there are a lot looking to start a fight or contradicting and so on.

So I start my reviews mentioning that all I write are absolutely subjective and personal. So there are for sure a lot of people out there that will feel quite the opposite about the very same thing. Just like there are people loving BBW and people finding any chubby girl absolutely disgusting, our tastes are different, so just take any opinion as it is. It is a forum to share information and experiences, not a forum about who has the absolute truth.

So, back to Mada. After reading the contradictory discussions here about this beautiful country I was having the image of a hidden secret mongering paradise, the kind many of our older colleagues are describing when they are talking about THailand 70-80, Philippines 90-00 , Cambodia 80-90 and so on. Sadly, I'll have to say from the first moment, that I didn't find that (still looking for an untouched place, feel free to send me a PM about that) .

My feelings about Mada are very mixed from abyssal bad to heaven good. It is by all means no place for the faint hearted or fot the ones that come from a cozy family neighborhood and went with prostitutes only in nice brothels or in Thailand.

However, I didn't find it very expensive. It may be because I was always converting to euros or because I was comparing to Europe or Thailand. I will say from the start that a budget of around 100 euros per day will get you a great time. Of course a more experienced, better french speaking monger might get the same for 30 euros but still it's a good price / quality.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your write up. I will be going to Mada for the second time this August. I went there for the first time about. 7 years ago now. I had a great time. But to me travelling is not just for mongering but also for culture and sightseeing.

I like Mada for the sights and the parks and beaches. And I was lucky enough to find some good girls.

I was impressed enough that I meant to go back but it is a pain to get there from the USA. So other locations are much easier like Thailand, Philippines, Colombia, etc.

But I, like you, wants to find the shangri la. Unexplored country. The way it was in thailand years ago or Cambodia years ago. I thought mada may have some of that but maybe things have changed too much.

Anyways, thanks for the extra info. Hopefully, I will be a bit lucky.

If you find a new location that may be the ideal one please let me know. I will be investigating Paraguay and Ecuador next year and maybe those places may be good. But any suggestions you may have will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Ed.

Tane is a Province in Japan. What does this have to do in the Madagascar thread? Not quite intelligent for a 1st post here.

Move on to Japan, mate.

I'm sure he meant Tana, mate. Go easy.

Hi,

Recommend a hotel in Tane with a bar.
