Madagascar

But I have different hunting grounds. LE Glacier is only for tourists and french drunkards and for my entertainment as I like the gasy bands. They really do good cover versions. Queen. Bob Marley. And of course Gasy music.

LE Glacier to hear rancid covers of American antique rock songs? You can't be serious. Best live music venues are out by the University on weekends. But you already knew that and obviously are keeping it to yourself.

Why someone should ask the price for a freelancers bitces? If you how much you always get silly price answer!. I never ask how much she wants but offer my prices instead and they always agree for it. Newbie mistake to ask prices for freelancers. !! Any country works like that! Glacier prices is 50-60 LT. ST is 30-40 k ariary.

A girl with a smartphone is a girl who found a vazaha to buy her one. Don't waste more of your time responding to pattaya kings. You already did enough harm here.

Harm? You want the whole island for yourself? I remember back in 2015 and that seems to be an initiation rite in the Madagascar forum to be told by anybody. Don't go! Nothing to worry about. Madagascar will be always for the select few. The rest will not either make it or run away screaming after the first trip. As you well know. Only 3% are left. So don't worry there's too few to spoil the prices.

La Buse.

Guys,

You can be rich folks but never offer more money. It's 50-60 LT. ST is 30-40 k ariary. Even on social media and dating apps. Keep them prices tight.

Inform other mongers who are not on ISG. You are ruining the place for everyone. If someone offer you prices as high as 150 k. It's a no go and you can always find it cheap and better girls to shag. Also you can offer the price first.

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.

I have long understood LaBuse is really in the secret service of the Mada Tourist Board. How can you possibly resist going after all his friendly warnings!

I get the smartphone dynamic. Chatting with richer, high-mileage hookers online for now is just for fun and to get some idea of their mindset. So be constructive and tell me what is the lowest accepted rate in Glacier for homely next door girls and I will gladly apply that pricing. And how much is considered fair insurance money (in Tana / Nossy Be) in case hard core negotions did not happen before faire l'amour. Is it 40, 60 or 80 LT?

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.

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.

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 .
