Madagascar

[Amadeuss]

I will keep it simple then. Thanks for the hotel suggestion, will check it out!

I find it amazing that Ben is not welcome, he's usually a good travel pal, but will use the ATM option then.

Thailand is bit boring for me nowadays. Partly same with Phils, where I have lived many years, but now spend only a couple months every year. Time to try something new, let's see how it goes.

PS I've chatted with heaps of Badoo girls, so obviously La Buse's suggestion that they don't have smartphones is a tad outdated. Once I have got my feet on the ground phone will not be a prerequisite for carnal connections.

Reading your replies it seems that you know it all. Just go.

We will be curious to listen to your complains once back.

I did not say that there's no smart phones. I said only the super rich and that also goes for hookers have one. Yesterday I was in Glacier. And yes. Some girls have smart phones. Their starting price pour la nuit 100 k. One was brazen enough to ask for 150 k. But you're rich American. Go figure.

La Buse.

Just do what you do in the code you cracked in Angeles City and Pattaya: point and click at hookers.

There are plentiful hotels in your middling price range. Try LE Centell.

Some background, I'm an experienced travelling third world scavenger and believe I can handle basic security challenges, so no need for "friendly advice to stay away" but thanks anyway. I have some free time before upcoming Asia trips and thought I'd check out Madagascar as airfares to Mada seem reasonable. I'm looking at touching down in either Tana or Nossy Be. My French is probably passable, we will see.

I have been checking out Badoo and constantly get most hits from Tana, in fact Nossy Be girls are rare. I guess many of the Tana girls are freelancers, but I haven't really cracked the code how to tell FLs from more regular girls. Does anyone have experience of pulling girls from Badoo and the pro ratio?

I've seen reports that it may be difficult to exchange even crisp Benjamins (really? Any tips how to get good rates for USD (in Tana / Nossy-Be)?

Many hotels look pretty mediocre, unless you want to go with the international brand names. I prefer 3-4 stars, clean with working AC, refrigerator and not too many dodgy guests (except me) max rate around 50-60 USD / night. Happy to accept lower if comfortable and clean. Checking online I see a myriad of rather dysfunctional hotels. Any suggestions? If you read back on my posts you can see I'm not a lemour tourist who will overpay girls, I will stick to the going rates indicated here.

Ah I forgot to mention. There's NO Mc Donalds. NO Starbucks. NO Airbn NO Booking. No Aircon 4* Hotel international Brand Name except Tana. They love Americans here to rip you off. And one further tip. You obviously didn't read a single post in the Madagascar sub forum. Start to read, then 90% of your obviously clueless questions will answer themselves.

This is not "Third World". This is Madagascar. Ah yes. And there's no Uber only Pousse pousse. This is an OFFLINE country. Most of my girlfriends are proud owners of a Cell phone. I get an answer IF and WHEN they have credit or their phone is actually working or it's charged. Then you MIGHT get an SMS IF they're not shagging their local BF or another tourists. Maybe after a week or so if they're in dire need of funds. Other than that. Move around and see what opportunities present themselves. Ah. And book for at least a month. Madagascar is not for the passing " third world" traveller. Fly to Thailand.

La Buse.

A. Forget Badoo and any kind of social Networks. The girls are almost never online. Only the super rich own a smart phone.

Be. Forget your freshly printed US Dollars. Utterly useless on this island. Bring 100€ cash or use the good ol ATM.

See. Forget the western conception of free lancer. Pro or whatever you call it.

The. What you want a 4* hotel for? You want to waste money? Get a clean vezo hut for 10 $ a month.

E. your French will be almost useless. Most girls speak about 20 words. Fair l amour? Combien? All you need. They know how to count in french. Be aware there's 2 currencies. FMG and MGA.

F. Stay away and book to Thailand. There you'll find your 4* aircon hotels.

G. You're not suited füare Madagascar.

Therefore. Stay Away.

La Buse.

Thanks for the info guys. I may pop by after I arrive and see if the construction is ongoing or over. I was also thinking that the proximity to Glacier was very good, one of the closest hotels.

Did the construction now reached the hotel? Or did they just not put their rooms for 2023 into the system? There is no room available for any date in 2023 .

Hello everyone,

I'm planing a big trip out to Africa for my birthday I'm American but I'll be flying from Germany as I'm going to monger there first. I just have a few questions I stuck between going to Ethiopia or Tana as getting a flight to Nosy be is inconvenient and I'd rather get to only going to over here for a week. Some things I've noticed is the Ethiopia board is quiet and people describe the scene as more massage shop and maybe some streetwalkers that sounds lame just want to be sure that is the case. On the other had from the pages I've read Tana, Antananarivo has street walkers but also a few freelancer bars which is more my style. Some of the names include Mojo Bar Manson and du Glacier are there others.

Also is there a good hotel that has a good gym I'm not a budget travel so any price range is fine thank you all for your help.

Save your money. For a week nobody flies to Madagascar. Plan a month. Minimum. Fly to Ibiza. Ethiopia or Madagascar is for the advanced Africa monger. Take out your training wheels and book to Mombasa. When you've been ripped off a couple of times you're cleared to Uganda and Rwanda. After that you're cleared for Tanzania, Ethiopia and Madagascar.

La Buse.

I'd pass in Ethiopia right now. There in the middle of a war. Not the safest place to go until that is over.

Yes Comoros is possible. But be forewarned that alcohol is very expensive there. All are imported and big tax! And not just alcohol many things are so f. Expensive! I was there for around 10 days and I didn't score, not worth in my opinion! But it is an interesting island though!

Forget all the outlying islands for our hobby.

Reunion. Territoire the outre mer. If you like to shell out 100 to shag the same Malgache hookers. Hahaha. I meet Reunnionais here in Madagascar they fly to Madagascar to hobby.

Mauritius. Prostitution is illegal. There's regular raids on illegal brothels. Malgache hookers get deported.

Isle Comores. Flights very expensive. 95% Muslims. You can score there for sure. Up to you to shell out a fortune in air fare. Check Ewa Air.

Mayotte. Again French territory. You might score there with refugees from the Comoros there.

Don't think if you're young and good looking. Doesn't make any difference at all. Irrelevant in subsaharan Africa. I am 59 and shag nothing older than 23 years. And that's OLD.

La Buse.

Who might be inclined to visit the Comoros one day. After all you can get there 5 wives as the prophet decreed.

[Zach Hammond]

Don't go!

I'm going whether I like it or not. It's just a question of whether I spend much time mongering while I'm there or not.

You will not find those "local pleasures".

Why would I not find them? Perhaps you have an incorrect assumption about what is behind the euphemism here.

Save your money for your local hookers next door below 30 instead complaining about the cheap ones.

I'm not complaining about cheap hookers. I'm just not interested in paying women older than I am for sex.

[Amadeuss]

. ... and if that's all Mada had to offer, I wouldn't be planning my trip the way I am. It is indeed all about those "local pleasures" that one cannot find elsewhere.

Ah. And Madagascar is not a sex tourist destination. For that avail yourself to Pattaya with 27.000 30+ years old hookers to choose from. Madagascar is for the discerning Africa adventurer who avails himself to the local pleasures.

I'm actually visiting Mada for business (I know: weird, right?) That business will stretch out over at least a month, but will be taking up remarkably little of my time. So, I want to take advantage of an opportunity, and maximize the amount and variety of sex I have while I'm there.

That being said: there'd be no point in getting excited about experiences I could just as well have elsewhere. I've got plenty of "30+ years old hookers" right next door at home, so I've never seen the point in visiting places like Thailand; and if that's all Mada had to offer, I wouldn't be planning my trip the way I am. It is indeed all about those "local pleasures" that one cannot find elsewhere.

Untold suffering awaits you. Tropical shits disease Cholera the Plague Malaria viral Eye Infection VDs all await you.

Oh, don't I know it! I've dealt with all of that plenty. It's my first time to Madagascar, but not my first trip to Africa. I think I'm pretty used to it all now. (Which is the other reason I'm not overly excited about the regular tourist schtick. I've seen the jungles, the beaches, the beautiful waterfalls, the rolling pastures, the tribal people, the cities crammed with fire-code-violating stick-built three-story buildings, etc.).
