[QUOTE=Tigedejade]However for girls the top are probably girls of TAMATAVE (ethny betsimisaraka).

Great place for dark-skinned coastal girls. Some Malagasy-Chinese "metisse" too. Decent beaches, wild bar/discos, good restaurants, OK internet services, plenty of hotels from inexpensive to moderate prices. The roads in Tamatave/Toamasina really suck, and the traffic can be surprisingly hectic in some parts of town. Ask any taxi driver for recommendations (but remember, he may be getting a kickback from a hotel or 2, so don't hesitate to ask to be taken somewhere else for a comparison). A great place to find a small boat up the Pangalanes (canal system) to more remote villages.
