Madagascar

And yes, tuk tuk are called bajaj in Mada. Never heard people there calling them tuk tuk, except from few tourist vazahas.

In Mahajanga, Diego and other northern villages they are called Tuk-Tuk. Pronounced "tuecktuek" , in Tamatave they are called Bajaj and in Antananrivo you hardly can find any in downtown.

Travellers from the country of origin of Bajajs they will call it everywhere bajaj and don't care of local habits, also in other regards.

Namaste -- I do enjoy your reports which are reflecting your respect and knowledge of local habits and culture. Also versus les filles gasy.

Ok its been a while. So here is the review from my last trip to Madagascar in the month of December. 2023...What a trip. Madagascar is the best place to monger, if you can manage to get there. Until next time!

Excellent report, LoveTraveller. Reports like yours are the reason this forum exists. And I agree that locals use the word bajaj, not tuktuk.

I have a question about your flights. You flew from Tana to Sambava and again from Tana to Majunga. How much did you pay? Also, how far in advance did you make your flight reservations? What was your overall experience with the domestic airline?

headed to Taxi Be. It was packed with women. 80,000 to 100,000 ARY. Over-night.

As other said, informative report. It always surprises me how people would still pay doubled prices. At Tana, a taxi be girl overnight, 50 K (+ 10 K for taxi if good service) is a standard. For a princess in Manson, maybe 10 K-20 K more. In the province, 30K max. But as repeated here, to each his own! Maybe because I'm French, young and in good shape. And yes, tuk tuk are called bajaj in Mada. Never heard people there calling them tuk tuk, except from few tourist vazahas.

According to a site Porn is illegal. The production, the sale, the consumption. Prohibition. LOL.

Assuming that's correct, it explained some observations to me.

Does it bothers me? No!

But, for those with fuck-pics on the SD card it should. There was a report of a guy whose card got checked at the custom.

Is porn production legal in mada?

It's a corrupt country. So, justice is served in different ways. It's not through the law but via other means. People go missing in mada. I am not trying to fear monger. That's why I said to enjoy this beautiful place as it is and respect the lives of these people. Many people do not like being exploited and posted in media. People do have cameras there. Porn is nothing new in mada. But they do not abuse it. If you are not locals, use it and do not abuse it or you will end up in trouble.

Is porn production legal in mada?

Your comments on porn are spot on.

But here we talk of Madagascar only! Once that industry, dominated by some big US studios, arrives to cast Mada girls, our hidden paradise will be gone in no time.

You can have more porn life in Mada as with overused working girls from any brothel in Europe or even Thailand. Lets keep that business off from isle rouge.

Short reminder, this is the Madagaskar forum were nice folks suppose exchange real accurate experience about Madagaskar of today. It supposed to bee a source of information to others to get a real picture.

Living in the past people like pirates and any sorts alike please stay tuned. LOL.

[KrisMonger]

Stupid color commentary with pure racist intent. Go Google it out. Tuktuk is called Bajaj in Mada because. You didn't guess it. The darn Indian manufacturer has been selling that vehicle type there for too long that that is what locals call it.

You are not in India! Those are called Tuk Tuk's in Mada.

Your homeland style and earlier trips to Vietnam of "using" the ladies in Mada (. Perhaps by not speaking french? Will hopefully not copied by other messieurs les voyageurs.

This chick can afford business class and she still wanted money? I guess that's how she can afford business class!

[Neddy69]

I found his report interesting and informative, while all you can take away from it is a mispronounciation of a tuktuk? Your attitude does not encourage others to post.

That's exactly the intention. Be silent and enjoy. While it lasts.

Am I worried? Not at all. Most posters will not survive here. Like the recent refugees from Thailand. They'll run away screaming after they are confronted with the reality of tropical disease ridden utterly corrupt and very dangerous country. You'll not survive here unless you're former pirate, mercenary or fugitive from law. Without french. You'll be ripped off by everybody.

La Buse.

LE dreg of the world.

Where was she from?

On my way back, had a layover for a few hours in Dubai and opened Badoo again. And found one who was in the same terminal and catching a flight to Europe who wanted a quick f**k for a fee ofcourse. Did her in the handicapped toilet of the business class lounge and then had a few drinks with her.

It demonstrates to me in a perfect way a new different approach by different conditions in the first place. It is not my way really, but I certainly do not deliver any negative judgment on it. The preaching of a standard procedure based on old novels is rather ridiculous in my view. Each his own.
