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 )

The stability on sand etc come to play due to various factors.
1. Weight of the Moto (lighter is better) that's why all of them are single cylinder to keep the weight down.
2. wheels diameter- Front tire size: 21 and rear 18. Bigger is better as more grip and fraction.
3. off road tires.
But my scooter has balloon tires and believe it or not I passed in places that Pro Enduro rider fail and he beg for help. So Don with his Pathetic scooter rescue the guy. So my point is that a pro Enduro rider can not beat a pro Monger. (30 degree slope wet mud). But me and my GF also ride on the beach sand on Saint Marrie.
We moved from island to island by tiny boat with the Moto on it.
In the Philippines, I had a buddy buy a really unique styled street bike (Chinese) that looked great. But he had all kinds of electrical problems which are hard to find. By the time he had it fixed several times he could have simply bought a Yamaha, Honda, or other. His kick starter was only tack wielded in one spot which quickly came off.
I would not want to be out in the middle of nowhere with a Chinese made product. They will break down a lot and you will pay big money to get it fixed when and where you can even find a mechanic. I would stick to renting for awhile first.
I am not comparing street to off road motorcycles. I am comparing Chinese to Chinese. There is a reason Chinese transportation vehicles are not sold in 1st world countries. Only 3rd world.
[QUOTE=DonOmar;2010160]No, I say in 11 USD (36 K) hotel in Tana.
I bought a heat Blower and have crazy sexy hot GF. But honestly it does not my idea of vacation.
Exactly what I have said. January is summer. Otherwise get a nice hotel in Siberia and make sure they have heater in the hotel.[/QUOTE]OK, so you've never been there. That explains it. Anyway, the route down the center of the country- Ambositra is pretty bleak, unless $11 hotels is your comfort zone style. Further south at Fianarantsoa, numerous girls could speak English (learned at evangelical missionaries) and happy to practice with you. Also not too bad hotel infrastructure, otherwise nothing special unless you like to see new places.

Take a girl from Fiana to Ihosy park. Great Location.
How to get to Antsirabe? Is it easily accessible from Tamatave?
[QUOTE=Doc16;2012737]How to get to Antsirabe? Is it easily accessible from Tamatave?[/QUOTE]Why you ask those questions over and over again? You been to Mada, but never gave any input about your trip.
Tamatave to Antsirabe?. Have a look at Google Maps and answer that question yourself.

Hi,
This is my first post but have been an avid follower. Little about me, 40 years, Indian, living in Dubai. I have seen this site few years back but not seriously. It was only when I was planning my trip to Mada in Jan. That I happen to see this forum during a web search and it really opened my eyes. I had no idea about the Mada scene and I RTFF from 10 years back to date. During all my previous trips all around the world, girls were not on my list, but now after Mada I seem to be addicted. Since I got so much info from this place I think it's only fair that I share my trip stories.
I don't speak a single word in French. Forget about Malagasy but had downloaded translate app.
Travelled on KQ DXB / NBO / TNR. By the time I checked in at Anjary I was awake for more than 36 hours (did a 12 HR shift before my flight). Decent hotel and bed. No complaints. Thought I will take a short nap and wake up around 9 pm to start my hunt. Unfortunately woke up after midnight and thought that is the end of the night. Went down to the lobby and met with the hotel bellboy / front desk guy and asked if he can arrange to get some beer up to my room. When he came with the beer I asked him if he can arrange someone for a massage and he said yes (based on forum facts that I can get a girl anywhere in Tana). 15 minutes later she was outside the door. Spent 30 minutes chatting through the app and it was very cumbersome but she knew what I wanted. It was a very pleasurable experience and I can say the BBBJ I got was far far better than any of the girls I had in Pattaya. I had to stop her so I didn't finish off early. I paid her 80 k which was for the entire night but sent her away after because I really needed to sleep. She gave her number but wasn't interested as I wanted different women next night.
So next day went walking around town and found the location of Glacier, had some beers and thought of coming back at night. Well they charge you 3000 entrance and inside the girls were OK. OK. The band was OK at first but got better later at night. Finally saw a pretty one, danced with her and then she started showing pictures of her kid. I didn't fancy her that much so left alone.
Next day off to Morondav and the tour guy took 560 euro for the trip to and return. It was the most expensive car ride I had taken in my life. Since he was from Antisrabe, we stopped there for the night. Saw a girl in the lobby but when I came back after sometime, couldn't find her. Well, it was another dry night. Next day reached Morondav, was staying at the Bougainvillers. Went to a Bob Marley themed bar right behind the hotel but I was quite early. The bar guy asked me to try the local rum and after a day of beers, I guess it was too much for me. 5-6 drinks down, few girls started coming in but I was in no condition to even walk. Forget fuck. Another dry night.
Next night was sober and spent some time at the same bar and the brother of the owner introduced a girl to me. Very very good, slim and tall. I asked for her ID (again based on forum facts).
It turns out to be simple laminated paper putting her age at 19. I can bet she wasn't even 17 so didn't do anything. Later picked a 24 yr old for 20 k short time. It was good but not as good as the one in Tana. Tipped her 5 k. End of Morondav.
Next day started at 4 in the morning and reached Tana by 9 pm and since it was my last night I had to get some. The hotel my tour guy had arranged was near the airport and by the time I checked in it was desolate. Again I asked the hotel waiter / cleaner to arrange. When I saw her I just refused. Ugly, no tits. I was drinking beer in the room and realised that it was a mistake and I should have called her instead of spending the time alone. Went out and found her sitting near the lobby. Asked her in. Again 30 minutes of google translate and fixed a price of 60 k for the night. Then she asked if she can bring a friend along and I was surprised and said I don't have any more money. After some persuasion on her part we decided on 80 k for both. Well it was not that good but not bad also. But I guess worth the money as I was thinking of a threesome during the trip. Didn't tip them and asked them to leave after 2 hours.
That's my first report. Attached pics for your pleasure. No nudes of the threesome. What I gathered from Mada is if it was as easy to reach as Pattaya, I would never even go to Pattaya. OK maybe once a year but rest of the time. Tana.
Addicted to black now. Next trip Tanzania in Apr. Will report.
Still a non paying member but will change that soon.
D.
P.S- can't upload any pics. Something wrong wz ISG server.
[QUOTE=JstWanagetLaid;2010115] 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?[/QUOTE]Yeah I have thought about this quite a bit, and I think it is a combination. In the 14 years I have been mongering in Mada, I have gotten that much older, grayer and heavier. In early 2000's I walked into ZaZa Club in Toliara, and I was about the best available vazaha in the disco, looking good in my early 40's, and I litterally had my pick of the best girls. No competition. They competed for me. 10-15 years later, that is no longer the case, plus there is more competition, and in Toliara last few trips, younger Chinese guys, who treat the girls very poorly, but monoploize the finest girls, probably with very high cadeaus. So there you go, the combination. Once recently in Tana, I had a girl I knew on my arm all night (an hour or two at least), rocking hot and young, one of the finest there that night, I had met and scored her on a previous visit when she was new to the disco scene. So my plans for the night were set, so I thought. In walks a Chinois, whispers in her ear and she is gone like the wind, runs to get her bag at the check-in and walks out with this guy. My guess is he readily gives AR 100,000 or more, which I am not willing to do, and I suspect that is what he whispered in her ear. Hard to compete with that. And after the fact, I recognized that she was stalling leaving hoping that something better would come along.

You travelled all the way to this place, and lost a night of your life that you'll never get back. And, you're in your mid-50's. What are you thinking? Don't be short-sighted.

In Tulear you were the best opportunity for the girls as they had no other option. Even if you been gray haired 60 then, they would grope you (I know it. LOL).
Conclusion: avoid the places where the Asians go (Chinese and Koreans) They go in hordes, they don't care about GF feelings. Just a quick fuck and then kick the girl out. The real pros can do 2 or 3 a night. Those places are getting more and more. Not only in Mada but take Angeles or Pattaya as well. They are also bringing the rip-off massage parlors to town. 10 years ago was none.
Go to more remote villages and widen your view: the nice ones are not only in the bars!
And I also would not support the 100 K girls.
