Madagascar

[QUOTE=RangeLove;2215349]On Saturdays there is a flight MJN-NOS, but you have to book it in the Air Mad office in Majunga.

That's already closer to Diego.

Strangely this flight can't be found on the website of Air Mad.[/QUOTE]Not strangely at all. That flight was cancelled. I was in there office in Majunga a few days ago buying Diego Sambava Tana for 340 USD. So I asked about flight to Nosybe and Diego. Cancelled.

[QUOTE=Elmerfud;2215650]Planning to be back in Mada after 10 years RTFF for new info, except for criminality on the rise it seem that Mada has not much changed. My question is just wondering how bad or how safe....... [/QUOTE]I am in morondava right now and will go to tulear next week. I plan to take cotisse from tana to fiana and then, after one night in fiana, I will have another transport advised by a good local contact to tulear, but with stops in isalo area for some tourism. I plan to use a private car and will ask how it could cost for a direct transport from fiana to tulear.

May be I could have some advices.

A few years ago I took a TB from Fiana to Tulear. Left early morning, arrived just after dark. It was boring but completely safe. The road is good.

[QUOTE=Elmerfud;2215650]Planning to be back in Mada after 10 years RTFF for new info, except for criminality on the rise it seem that Mada has not much changed. My question is just wondering how bad or how safe it would be going to Tulear by taxi brousse I am thinking of taking the cotise bus to Antsirabe was there once just love the Merina would spend a night or two then a taxi brousse or cotisse if available to Fianarantsoa then not more than a night in that boring city and take a taxi brousse early in morning to be there before darkness in Tulear.

Anybody can give me a advice on this, thanks (drink will be on me in Tulear for any good advice) plan to be there in November.

No air mad for me, 600 $ for a return flight it is a rip off.[/QUOTE]Take Sonatra good used Sprinter Busses. 1st day Tana- Fiana. Stay overnight at Dragon the Or. Buy Ticket on arrival for next day Fiana-Tulear. Good road except a bad stretch now and then.

Cheers.

I stumbled upon the Madagascar section on this Forum and read reports going back up to an year. From what I could make out, one could basically smile / wave to a girl one sees on the street, and more likely than not within a few minutes get her number. With no more game than "You look pretty" kind of words. Then this girl, who may not speak English, will be at your room pretty soon for about $10/ night. Some questions:

1) Is my understanding of the situation correct?

2) If so, is it because mada girls want to be with white men? Or will this work with Black / Asian / any foreigner?

3) Will this modus operandi work with an older guy? I'm talking late 60's.

4) Can I survive in mada without any French at all?

Is there anything obvious that I'm missing here?

Thanks.

[QUOTE=SonicBoom1;2216108]Some questions: Is my understanding of the situation correct. If so, is it because mada girls want to be with... Will this modus operandi work[/QUOTE]Some answers: the situation is there is desperate poverty in this country. People must do what they can to survive is the reason they would want to be with you.

The equation is: They are poor; You have money.

Don't overthink it.

[QUOTE=Neddy69;2216266]discovered paradise for the elderly.[/QUOTE]Some scenes where not so paradise for the elderly: buy two seats and don't sit in front.

So I am in morondava, hôtel morondava Beach, 80 m after chez Maggie. Was the choice of my travel agency, cheap, 70000 AR night, bungalows with fan, air cond for 20000 AR more. I checked chez Maggie but cost is from 120000 up to 188000 and lot of people there. So I stay here not so bad, hot water not easy to get but it's OK. Nice terrasse, paillote, close to the beach, with restaurant.

Where things are more difficult is to find girls. I am not experienced as many of you.

I tried a salon de massage close to hôtel, only one there, nice massage girl 23 yo, 1 HR for 25000, surely tourist price, but she agree to come to hotel tonight for 40000. Seams overpriced based on all rtff I did here.

I would like to meet chick's on the beach, massage girls may be, or anywhere else but really unclear where to go and when.

I saw Jimmy the rasta location, may be to be tested tonight?

I have also a nice contact on badoo, she want to come to hotel too.

Any advices will be appreciated.

Other info for transport, as cotisse doesn't have good places left I booked on Trans tsy Tara, 40000, the leave early, 3 h40 am but arrive at 6 pm in tana. That's an advice of hotel owner, he travel with them anytime.

So things have improved.

By the end of afternoon, I tried to check the beach for massage girls or even girls walking there, but there was definitely nothing except people saying Hello, or salama in Malagasy, all very nice.

But, by walking on the street between baobab cafe and bougainvillier I saw several girls, some just sitting and calling for massage, they have a room behind or you can take their phone and call them from hotel, I took one number there.

Then I saw two cuties walking toward me, they stopped when I just watch them. One gave her number, I check ID's, 20 and 21.

I paid some beers and food in a bar on the street and came back alone to hotel, it was about 7 pm.

Around 9 pm after a power cut from 6 pm I called them, they came to hotel, security man bring them to my room and we had good time, shower altogether, action in bed but I didn't succeed in making any of them cum. May be its me, not experienced with young cuties like this.

Everything was open with both, I shagged them alternatively, several position, and had one pop.

Then they dress, they took some perfume from my bottle, very happy both of them, I gave some small chocolates which make them like kids, and gave 20 k AR each, after about 20 k for beers and food before.

Next time I will play with only one. May be it will be slightly better, but I wanted to try.

So, yes mada is mada. May I paid a bit too much. One of them was not happy of the 20 k but she left without any problem.

No photo as they didn't want.

[QUOTE=Golfinho;2216272]The equation is: They are poor; You have money.

Don't overthink it.[/QUOTE]The reports appeared to be too good to be true, but maybe that's how it is. Looks like a great place for mongering, but also a unfortunate place to be born in. I wonder if I can survive without any French there.

Mongered 70+ countries but never been to Mad. Excited!

Sadly, only have 5 days to get a taste. Will be hopping around Ethiopia, Kenya, Comoros, Reunion, Mauritius, and Seychelles the rest of the trip.

Not too lazy to read this whole Mad thread. Made it back 15 pages in last two days, but have a neuro issue that causes eye strain and shitty migraines when I read too much.

So many names and nicknames for places:

Nose Be, Tana = Antananarivo, Sambava, Antalaha, Toliara, Andoany, Toamasina, Morondava, Taolagnaro, Antsirabe, Ambositra, Vatomandry, Tulear, Mangily etc.

Love the beach, but only have the 5 nights.

1. Where would you go for such a short trip? Prefer lower end brothels, meeting girls on the street, but can do clubs.

2. Are their issues bringing back to hotel? Don't really like ID checks etc (but don't like blackouts and no WiFi either).

Thinking about staying in Tana, but there are some flights directly to some of the smaller towns via Comoros etc.

Any suggestions? (feel free to beat me up).

Now it's difficult to go out without crossing some nice chick's.

This morning I went out at 10 am, after breakfast and shower, and on the street, in front hotel, a cute petite girl was walking.

She said Hello, you want massage? In the room? Yes in the room. How much? 30 k,hum no, 20 k? No 15 k, ok she said.

And then she came back with some cream, we took shower together, need to be clean for massage. I washed her. Then massage for 30 mins and then things came, everything open, nice moment spent with her, smiling girl, not much French but enough to understand each other.

I gave 20 and rest after that.

I try to put her Pic here, petite but nice body.

My experience last night. I arrived on Air Mauritius (3 hours late, assholes) at midnight. The only good thing was I was near the front and no other flights at the same time. I got through health and to the visa counter in 2 minutes. I asked for a 90 day visa (50 Euro) and she didn't blink. In another 3 minutes I had my receipt (slight change from before) and was in the immigration line behind one other couple. Being Mada they take their time but I got the visa and cleared in another 10 minutes. No bags to collect so out the door in 15 minutes! Must be some sort of record! No fixers, no attempts at bribes so I don't know what happened to NME.

Only drawback was my hotel didn't have my driver wait so I took a cab at 12:30 AM for 50000 (I know, too much but I was bagged and couldn't be arsed to haggle). And was at my hotel at 12:50. I am staying at New Select on a tip from Amadeuss (I think). Rooms are fine, king size bed, hot water, shit cable TV (the norm for Mada) and surprisingly good WIFI. If you are arriving daytime just show up and ask for the normal rate, 72000. I booked online my first night and it is a ripoff, almost 50% more. And Glacier is even closer than 100 metres with Pizza Gastronomie almost across the street. I don't know if that is the "big" one or the "small" one.

Premiere Class Transport cancelled my booking for Ambanja tomorrow so of course I go to the office and surprise, they are closed on Sunday, along with almost everything else. Will go early tomorrow morning and see what happens. If I have to wait more than 2 days I will say to hell with it and fly to Diego.

Sonic Boom: as to your question can I survive with no French at all? The answer is yes. You will have a much easier time the more French you know. I have some basic French and learn a little more each time I visit. Sure makes things easier. With no French at all it will be a struggle at times and often frustrating. If you are willing to take that on by all means give it a go.

SE.
