Delongi. I'll tell you why it's a bad idea. The planet already has too many fucking people. Now you want to spread your seed due to some "biological impulse" You already have 2 kids, that is plenty. Keep it in your pants until you get a vasectomy!

Pagani35. Tip number one. It's low season. Tip number 2 - ask.

SE.

You will be pressed for more and more support because you are a foreigner with unlimited funds. A Filipino men has little money, they are poor but you will be pressured and harassed brutally and I don't think you have the skills to handle them like a local men.

Thanks Atilla, good point. Though, how could they pressure me when I live outside of Africa? Are there any child support laws in Africa that can be enforced in my home country? Or perhaps I'll be barred from entering the African country under penalty of jail time? I do intend to pay handsomely by local standards, but I wonder if they may require a relative portion of my whole income.

You are a kid yourself by thinking like that. Not mature enough to raise a kid. You need a family where everyone has responsibilities to give a child a future. You can't buy a well educated kid. No way. And if you think so as I said before you are not grown up yet.

Fuck the girls, enjoy, but avoid to make them pregnant.

If you have too much money, just sponsor orphans. Soo many in homes all over Africa.

Thanks for the inputs, Amadeuss.

I'm over 40, have a family and raised two kids, but you're right that children need support from both parents.

I was thinking on having one kid with each girl and encouraging her to get married with a nice guy that will help raise my kid along with his.

With my financial support, I assume these girls will be attractive for husbands due to their income. And they'll be able to pay for decent education.

My hotel was 60000 ariary per night but I negotiate 40000 ariary per night. Its not on the beach but close. I will not mention hotel name I keep it for myself not need to know for everyone and ruin the prices after. Hotel ambatoloaka is good hotel and its cost 100 k its not at beach but very close you can see sea from your room, have aircon, wifi and everything you need. I know 2 persons who stay here already and they both said its good for the price you get.probably you can negotiate this hotel also to lower price if you try .

Well, congrats! Can you give us some tips for getting deep discounts around 35% for accommodation (especially if not renting a room for a month or longer), please?

And I wish you all healthy trips in the time of Corona!

Call me crazy, but I'm entertaining the idea of having kids with one or more nice girls and paying them monthly to raise the kids.

I want more children. Don't know why, maybe a biological impulse. And when I retire, I might move over to Africa and have a younger family (or more than one).

Can you experienced expats explain to me why this is a bad idea (it probably is)? What will go wrong?

Do you know the cost of living in rural areas in Madagascar, Kenya and other African countries? What would be the minimum "salary" I would have to pay a housewife to live reasonably comfortably and raise 4 kids without having to work?

You remind me of what many Filipino men already doing. They like to brag about having children from different women on different islands. Not paying child support only when they visit the mother, they stay with her for sex and some family life until they get their fix and move to the next "wife" on the next island and then to the next making turns as they please. They call it the Kirida tradition. Problems starts when the wife starts fighting for the no1 position. You will be pressed for more and more support because you are a foreigner with unlimited funds. A Filipino men has little money, they are poor but you will be pressured and harassed brutally and I don't think you have the skills to handle them like a local men.

Gents,

I'm heading to Nosy Be this summer (I guess it's winter down there) and considering Hotel Ambatoloaka. Online it says free Wi-Fi in all the rooms, but I'm reading some reports here that it has Wi-Fi only in the lobby. That would be a huge pain in the ass and probably a dealbreaker. Is there anyone who has stayed there recently who can confirm one way or the other?

Also, about the beach massage girls, I RTFF'd and saw the figure 15 k. Is this for one hour full body? Including happy ending? And is it like in mombasa north coast or pattaya where they have a massage shop you can go in to get the massage, or do you take them back to your hotel?

Many thanks for the info, I hope to repay it with some reports when I get out there.

Mate of mine stayed there a few weeks ago. WiFi didn't work in room and sometimes no electricity, the generator is only for light. Charging any device is not possible during that time. Cleaning service until 12 o'clock.

Massage usually offered for 20 k and extra service should be discussed before.

Massages are on the beach or better in your room. I didn't see any massage parlors others said there are a few.

One more thing avoid hotel Gerard et Francine, no local guests allowed.

Chris,

I stayed at this place called Etoile Blanche, it was an under construction place for Euro45 a night, nice big rooms with attached good sized balcony facing the beach. If you are in the balcony the girls will shout out to you for service. Yes 15000 incl.

Full body massage and a hand job. So these girls are working in the day and once they are free from their regular jobs they tend to go in for extra money. They come to your room to give you the service. This hotel was like 2 minutes walk to LE Taxi Be. There were a couple of disco's around, but it was empty when I went.

The guy came with a WiFi code but I didn't seem to work, I didn't bother complaining as I had my mobile with local sim. But yes, there was a system in place.

One thing though, they are constructing the 3rd floor, so its noisy post 8 am until 4 pm.

I always tip the cleaning ladies so clean sheets is never an issue.

I do the same in Thailand. New policy in many hotels and Service Apartments but they are ready to give new towels every minute. Harder for sheet but the cleaners will kill for tip. So about Nosy its a nice place for a week, more then a week I feel I need to run. In Tulear I had no issue to stay for a full month. And flight from Toulier to Nosy its two separate flight and you need to take hotel in Tana in case of the first flight late and you miss the second. I wish they provide one boarding pass for connecting flight.

Bedsheet are replaces every week.

I always tip the cleaning ladies so clean sheets is never an issue but when I was in Hotel Ambataloaka, this December, the policy was to change them every 3 days.

[Member #4673]

I can't find anything at the beach below 160.000.

True.

Decent hotel is 50 Euro on the beach.

Ambotoloka hotel is not on the beach. Do you want to get similar Mangily experience? See the waves ans massage girls while you hold your cup of coffee?

Then 50 Euro and above.

Ambotoloka hotel do not have Wifi in rooms only in reception. Bedsheet are replaces every week. Mattress are the cheapest possible that exist. Aircon low power so it a budget compromised hotel but most of the Mongers like it but they are crawling all over and arguing loudly in the floor hall.

Expert.

In Tanatav you can get a decent hotel for 60.90. 000 MGA. But Nosy Be I can't find anything at the beach below 160.000. How much you paid for the hotel?

My hotel was 60000 ariary per night but I negotiate 40000 ariary per night. Its not on the beach but close.

Tamatave gives better option for mongering and much more girls and little bit better looking. I was planning to move to diego for 1 week or more soon, but another monger coming here which I met at Colombia before so plan to stay a bit longer at nosy.
