Madagascar

[AttilaTheHun]

You speak French fluent? Yes, true, its a low-cost country but with all those negative points like health care (which is a valid point at age) , infrastructure. Not only transport but also internet, banking, electicity, water. Not to forget that there are few supermarkets but just little stalls to buy your groceries.

If you consider it as a retirement place. Go there and stay for 6 months and find out the vibe. Boredom can pop up easy. And as a resident, the one girl which is with you is overly jealous! No way to fuck around. Malgache are fierce in defending their corral.

Thanks for the advice. Madagascar sounds like the Philippines. Which I'm familiar with. Minus English speaking.

Mate. What you want to do in Mada with that kind of money. Its way too much. LOL. Here it's the minimum pensioners paradise. I know of people who get by on 200 dollars a month. 400 dollars you have a decent lifestyle. 600 dollars you can splurge. With a 1000 dollars you are Demi God. I'd say with a 1000 dollars you do ok anywhere in Mada. With 2000 dollars?? What would somebody do with so much money in Mada. Money is not the problem. You have to let Mada grow on you. The big challenge is WHERE to retire. You should have a squeaky clean bill of health as there is places where there is no doctor. Especially the traffic infrastructure is BAD. The next problem is housing. You can have an own reed hut erected for 70 dollars. A 1000 dollars builds you a big wooden bungalow. 10.000 dollars you get a huge piece of land and a big brick house on it. Except Nosy Be. There you have crazy real estate prices. Then start to learn french. Go and visit it frequently. And fall in love.

But Mada keeps you young. Here is a french guy. I found out he's 85!! years. Looking at him I'd have figured he's 65... go figure.

Thanks for your reply. I like your choice of words such as splurge and Demi God that comes with living on a $1000 a month budget. So funny! It just takes time for me to comprehend the fact that there are countries out there that are extremely inexpensive. You know of people who get by on 200 dollars a month? That would be $600 a month in the Philippines as a bare minimum. I often visit the Philippines and I was thinking that the Philippines was affordable and also places in South America such as Columbia and Peru but when I read about prices in Madagascar I just shake my head in disbelief. It seems that Madagascar is 1/3 or 1/4th of what the Philippines would cost including paying for sex. The most popular places for retires are Costa Rica, Panama, Equator and in Asia the Philippines, Thailand and now Vietnam. But Madagascar? It just not on the map for most of us here in the USA. To be fair Africa is not on the map for most Yankees. It's an exciting discovery to learn about these places but the problem is I don't speak French only English and Hungarian. You insist that I would have to learn either French or the local language, right? English is just not enough there?

I am not surprised. It is a big establishment and cost a fair few ariary to just sit there empty. As with many third world countries it is most likely just a matter of some palm greasing and a customary wait for face saving and back in business. Seen it happen dozens of times in places like Cambodia and Vietnam. Glad to hear it. Great place to go after a meal at La Terrasse or Lafiche.

Sh. T too late. Last year it was a much better place. The girls are closer to town. To go to Pandora involves police hassle and every time transport cost. I pulled loads of chicas last year.

My favourite Taxi Be on the island.

Who wishes to beamed back to Tamatave right now.

I agree with you its best taxi be on island I always find at least one girl I liked here for a night. Its good they reopened again. I been pandora few times but not enjoy to much was to crowded inside. Can't wait to comeback to tamatave with hundreds contacts of sweet malagashy girls from facebook.

Seems taxi be at tamatave is reopening again from tomorrow. As they state on their facebook page.

Speaking of discerning 70+ retired mongers, could someone estimate the average income of those typical retires. I wonder how much money a month a retiree need to have a sexually satisfying and comfortable life there.

I was planing to retire in the Philippines but after learning about Madagascar it seems to be an even better place. I will get around $2000. Will it be enough there?

Morondave is for the discerning 70+ retired monger who wants.

For the 'discerning'? For the dead at ss broke! And at 70+, it's the last stop, the endgame: he's dying there. Read between the lines here: there's nothing to do. The appeal is only for foreigners who've managed to reach mid-age with no money. I've been to Morondova twice, and couldn't last a week there either time. There is a worse place in Mada: Fort Dauphin. So let's hear all about that next how little it costs. Bottom line: see as many places as possible, while never losing perspective.

[Neddy69]

As I am a budget monger I ll give you the lowdown from MY perspective.

First tourist island Nosy Kely. You have wide range of options. IMHO totally useless to spend more than 60 k AR a night unless you insist on a swimming pool.
Morondave Beach hotel. Gives you the best bungalow right off the beach. They also have 35 k AR bungalows but really basic. Even for me. The other ok option on island is Cheval de mer. Good location. Wooden bungalows for 60 k. If you take a month you can trade him down to 50 k.

Options in Town. There is 2 budget places. One is Le Batelage. Old type colonial hotel. Run down. Security dingy. And Hotel Zoom owned by a Karane. Decent enough ventilated rooms. Good security. Good flyscreens. Both go for 30 k ar a night. For a month you can knock them down to 20 k AR.

There is another brand new hotel in town which is absolute luxury option. Take room 201 in Hotel Menabe. Its a 150 k room for the price of 60 k.

Food options. Forget all the restos in the tourist area. Too expensive. Stick to the gargottes. dirt cheap.
I love the breakfast and good Wifi at Bougainvilliers. Good for main meal.
Same as Bleu Soleil.
Another good option is Le gourmandise. food takes long time to prepare.
There's another place in town. good pizza for 14k at fab resto near baobab bank.
For Snacks and Espresso and pastries head to

forgot the name but you can't miss it.
That's the short list which so far didn't give me food poisoning.

Morondave is for the discerning 70+ retired monger who wants to cuddle with 30 year plus massage girls or souvenir vendors. If you are looking for an easy lay and wide range of quality chicas that is 7+ no older than 23 don't come here. Here it's down to sheer luck. As there is only a handful mongers on the ground there is no choice. There is some hot girls around at night time.

But buyer beware. M. ors are roaming Insomnia at 2 am. There seems to be no age control at the entrance. Most hot chics are with gasy BFs.

I am sure if you live here as a retired senior monger it is heaven. But you need loads of time. There is no quick game.

But 99% are Lemur tourists passing through to the Alle de Baobabs or the Tsingy.

Here its the passage door for the adventure monger who likes to shag village girls..

Where else can you jump on a freight boutre under sail and make your way southbound to Morombe or Tulear and shag your way down south.

Cone here with a couple of months you'll find loads of sweet lasses.

La Buse.

Who hasn't found a decent lay for 5 days. Probable worse than Diego.

Thanks for your honest report!! Seems for morondava I need to build some facebook girls list before I go here.

I like that place more and more. Totally laid back. Sunday night I went out. Near Insomnia there is a cool local boite. I love it. All the vezo fisherman hang out there. Goes by the name of daminazy. Just sit on the metal chair and watch the show. Hot massage girls filter in. Dropped by pousse. I waved. But they're shy. Sipping on my Castel GM I watched them disappear into dead ground. Some strange traffic patterns. In the end I bedded no chica but got on the pisser in the coolest reggae bar in the southern hemisphere. Jean LE Rasta. After some rhum arrange I called it a night. Jean who is a great host enjoyed some weed behind the bar. Great vibez. But no woman no cry. Except an expired bird which tried to attach herself to me. NFW.

La Buse.

Contemplating to go to the next level.

Belo sur Mer.

Newest gasy hit. Papa money. Hehehe.

From Tamatave I want to continue following the coast southward all the way up to Manakara and there take the train to Fianantsaroa. I will be taking a girl with me as I believe the mongering scene between Tamatave and Manakara will be limited.

.

Listen to the advise given by Neddy.

I just want to add: only if your girl is an absolute stunner, take her along. Otherwise just travel alone. There are chances everywhere.

To travel from Tamatave on the Panglanes canal south to Manambato and from there by taxi brousse to Mananjara-Manakara is doable if you got the time. But starting from December, the rain on the east coast will get more heavy and by that the mud will stop any 4 x4 to pass the rivers.

One option for you, if you want to explore the island: take a flight from Tamatave north to Sambava and from there to Diego.
