La Buse.

Ornilox, two packages. A then day cure.

Acquirable at " Pharmacie de Tana" next to Restaurant Sakamanga.

And yes, the girl spoke English. Some believe in MMS but not so did the druggist by solide science, do not belief in Malagasy gris gris she said.

A lucky trip is not asking for it al all.

Are they legit, as there are dozens of different websites proclaming they are only the real one!. I can't call the embassy today, as it is a holiday for Mada people. Can you please enlight this? Thanks in advance.

On the other hand You made it save and clean to there and moste likely you had a great time in Madagaskar. Full of fond memories, get your self three week back to "normal" and checke your health status as it has been reportet by one wretch ho picked up the tripper unprotected on Prep.

New airport looks nice but duty free and others parts are a comedy! Duty free does not even sell any foreign alcohol brands or cigars and prices for local things are double or triple price! Though they sell local Thb beer which is for triple price and it is not cold! Not in a fridge! Haha And finally they don't even accept ariary for payments, even the very small grocery store which sells some soft drinks and sandwiches does not accept ariary! The restaurant is not operating yet. Information from yesterday 26 March.

One thing is how you get the best deal at the ATM by using witch carte. Mine is the maestro debit.

Second is the question were you use the carte. I did pay allays cash, as they asked for it. Some places asked for a Tax carte de credit.

And yes in the brousse that asked for a pile of cash.

Moste hotel rooms are not safe at all.

**Kako123** · 03-14-23 10:42

If you stay in a brousse then will you be able to hide all the cash you have? It is a bit risky to carry too much I think but anyway everyone is free to do whatever he prefers! This topic is getting a bit boring ha.

No one knows how much cash you have on you when you're running around unless you're an idiot advertizing it.

But they will know you have a credit card the moment you use it -- at ATM or anywhere.

Keep the credit card locked in the safe until you need it for online reservations and flights. Or memorize the number and leave it at home.

Cash is King. Enjoy it while we can before it's virtual currency and goodbye to life as we know it.
