Madagascar

To DonOmar: I saw this scooter with wide tyres on your photo.

Are they any good on sandy roads? Because a normal scooter is quite hopeless on a sandy road and even on a motorbike it is sometimes difficult to stay upright.
( I'm talking about Mtwapa roads )

As you stay in $20 hotels that don't have WiFi,

No, I say in 11 USD (36 K) hotel in Tana.

the kind of hotels you prefer evidently don't have heating either.

I bought a heat Blower and have crazy sexy hot GF. But honestly it does not my idea of vacation.

Most recent visit to Antsirabe --January 2016 -- was beautiful weather.

Exactly what I have said. January is summer. Otherwise get a nice hotel in Siberia and make sure they have heater in the hotel.

................Mongering is harder everywhere in the world. The Girls getting professional and no more interesting for me. So I can stay in Pattaya getting the best for my money. Travel around the world I did for 30 years and getting tired of it. Spend a lot of money for lausy hotels / flight and medium quality girls.

This directed not only at Beno69, but also DonOmar and South Easter, as they have also commented on this post. 15 to 20 years ago, mongering was easier, and now it definitely seems to need more cash and more effort to achieve regardless of where you are. But I am wondering is that as a result of girls getting more professional? Or is it a case of us becoming older and therefore not as desirable as before to the younger monger bait? In my opinion, it could be a case of the latter. I browse through quite a few forums on ISG and whenever young studs are posting, mongering seems to almost seem like multiple affairs being carried on at once rather than the slog we sometimes have to go through to get laid. Mongering does seems to get harder with age, because of our age and not a change in the scene. Just my thoughts. Care to comment anyone?

With Elevation of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) your ass will be cold as ice at night most of the year. Make sure you come on summer.

A new service from Telma is 4 G mobile network operated from last month. I was curious to know how fast it is so I have test it using Android APP. I got both 8 Mbps Upload / Download when the server was all the way in Thailand. That's a very fast internet connection. (Same test in Mombasa is 1 Mbps).

Connecting your laptop to the phone hotspot is not recommended for longer period of time since windows OS will download updates in the background and eat your bundle.

Why not to use hotel / Caffes free WiFi? Well, Hotels under 20 USD don't have WiFi or the connection is not operational. La glacier / Pizza Gastro is more Miss that hit. My usage was 6 GB for a month which cost about 75 K.

So just reload your SIM in the airport with the appropriate bundle.

Less talked about (although touristic) is Antsirabe with its very strong French colonial presence and nice weather

Wow. Have not seen this amount of negativity on Mada in some time. Someone who was considering a trip must surely be rethinking it by now. I have only been twice but have not yet given up and will go once more in a few months so will see for myself just how bad things are getting. It's hard to figure out sometimes just what people are thinking / meaning. DonO loved St Marie and seemed to really enjoy Tana but would not recommend Mada as a destination. Beno has seen the good times and they are no more. Golfinho seems more upbeat but figures the Chinese have fucked up Tamatave or are on the way to doing so.

As someone who has seen Sihanoukville slowly being taken over by them I can fully understand his concern. They are taking over everywhere these days.

PB are you willing to share some thoughts about your perspective on your latest trip? Would really like to know what you think.

I have never been to Antsirabe but after a quick look on google I think I will have to give it a miss. Too bloody cold!

Mada is a problematic place for retirement but also for tourism..

Thanks Don Omar, this is a very good Post. And we stop fighting. 555 - I just wondered, because you changed your opignon every some month before.

Tamatave- Yes the dark side of the moon. I don't like the place..

The Chinese are swarmed en masse into Tamatave building and buying up things all over town. Before them, the French built all those beautiful villas Oceanside just north of downtown. What do they know? Or, maybe they didn't come for 2 sex with cleaning women.

Less talked about (although touristic) is Antsirabe with its very strong French colonial presence and nice weather is a pleasant place with restaurants, nightlife, and girls as everywhere.

Well said Don. :

My advice is do not come to Madagascar! Its not what it used to be. I am on the ground now and I am here since 2006. If you like focus on sex go to Mombasa Mtwapa. I am glad I have seen Mada in 2006 when it was a Monger dream Now its over. To many problems and personal safety issues.

Mada is a problematic place for retirement but also for tourism. However, as I modify my both route and Mongering technique I had a great fun. Let me dive to a more close look from my last trip.

On-Line dating- The traditional Tonga-Soa, Badoo did not meet my expectation as I have found the girls not that reliable and when they did respond I already goon to other destination. Yet as I have reported I got a student from Tana speaks a perfect English and a "Pro" from Tamatave in a denial phase. (Pretending to be serious).

Facebook? I have sent 50 chat invite to girls along my planned route. One response only but was the highlight of my trip. A girl looking to get married as her sister already lives in England with a vhaza. After 3 days in Tana with her I got a proposal and everything from explicit Nude photos to info about moving to Tana.

Daytime Mongering Very easy in Saint Marie. The place is however a jungle seen in Arnold Schwarzenegger predator movie. Many other limitations as well including accessibility, cost due to its an island, police etc. But in-spite of that I had a wonderful time. Hard in Tana but possible.

Cleaners Yes non of them will attend to miss universe. But they hot to fuck and cost lest then 2 USD.

Lets talk about town cities.

Tana- Love and hate relationship with the city, very cheap to live, stunning woman but hard to get them under limited time, extreme poverty, pollution etc. Overall the best city for comfort but you need to switch your mind and accept its limitation or just to run away and never come back.

Tamatave- Yes the dark side of the moon. I don't like the place.

Foulpointe- Disappointment girls without teeth. (almost all of them. Why?) easy to get. I would not touch them with a stick.

Fnrive Est- [Deleted by Admin] zero tourists, no hotels. A city for hard-core monger. Mars? Yes.

Saint Marie- Non stop sex but living in such jungle climate is to hard more then a week. Extreme adventure, Motorbike tracks, photographer dream. Girls allows videos photos and everything you want.

Things get harder all over. Mombasa, Mada, Thailand. However with precise planing, choosing the correct strategy and route! Mada can be rewarded to the pro level monger with a previous experience in Mada. French is a must.

So under so many restrictions my previous advise is still valid. Stay away as they are better and easier place for the average monger.

You paid extra to leave earlier? Your passion to Mada brakes new records...

Well said Don. :

18.10. 2016: I just tried 4 countries for retirements in the last 6 months.
1. Madagascar- Not possible to retire unless you feel comfortable in Mars or the dark side of the Moon. Intelligent girls eager to get married. So where to retired? For me its a combination of Mombasa and Thailand. (Krabi / Phuket).

8. 8. 2016: After a month in Mada my conclusion is that very little left to monger which will justify the travelling cost and effort. If you fancy professionals then no major advantage over mainland Africa. And forget the 5 k girls its very rarely happen. For non pro you need to come with pre arranged phone numbers but many many of them. Girls will tell you that they moved city, they live out of city etc.

8. 6. 2016: My advice is do not come to Madagascar! Its not what it used to be. I am on the ground now and I am here since 2006. If you like focus on sex go to Mombasa Mtwapa. I am glad I have seen Mada in 2006 when it was a Monger dream Now its over. To many problems and personal safety issues.

Also in Nosy Be and Hellville electricity and water problems. Half empty Supermarkets
I payd Air Mada 120 Euro and changed the date to go back 11 Days earlier.

Anyway, PB don't need to meet Don he his a highly skilled Monger and this is his second visit to Mada. Unfortunately he has posts nothing yet just because he was too busy with Mongering. Don't disappoint us PB, don't run away as Beno did and I am sure that great reports and photos are on the way. I am waiting to know more on your route, stories and experience.

In fact, every morning I check to see if your report has up the air. Lets cross fingers and just wait.

[Beno69]

Of course I m here.

..... instead of PM me with your number and a time and then you leave the next day of course.

He is on a secret mission. - will never let you a number.

[Member #4178]

I don't eat there pizza as there are a better places but I eat that cake at la glacier.

[Member #4178]

Don, can you advise how you picked this one up and also what she is costing you. Give us all good pointers on what works when we come there. Thanks and

Saw her at the market as she was looking at me all the time. She cost me nothing as she is a student 18 years in the rural part of the world. OK food etc small gifts etc.

Whats works? She like to be the next Mada model or driving on moto fast in the water, eating Pizza etc.

She work hard with me mainly for endless video shooting on the jungle / Moto / beach many different camera angles "Cut" "Action" etc but she liked it although I was very demanding and she was no actress but I tried to shape her to my needs and give her better tools to promote herself as a woman in the following years.

You can try clubs for more "Cost" type of mongering but not sure about that.
