RTFF. Read the Fine Forums (polite form)
Prior to my visit on the Ile Rouge I read about the hole thread. So I would suggest to others as it is very entertaining too.
Meanwhile I was six times to Kenya and a few other places in Africa.
A well prepared " Legionnaire " I felt.
And yes, reactions to my " Fleure de Banane " got me speechless. Take it easy: mora mora!

Current issue of the "New Yorker"
This is not a report. I'm just recommending Andrea Lee's excellent short story "The Rivals" in the current New Yorker. It's about two aged Italian vazaha fighting for the affection of a duplicitous Malagasy woman on a fictionalized Nosy Be. An amusing mental escape in this plague year.
