Madagascar, my roots...
Once again with my mom, dad, and best friend but this time Madagascar. We spent about 3 weeks here and it was pretty fun except for me and my friend got sick. We visited the coast and that's pretty much ...

Quick finish, Hope you all got the email, time is running out and I am going to have pizza! A break from the rice diet will be so nice. We eat it 3 times aday. Ill have internet again at the end of July, I think. And then at my site, yea!!! ...
Planning, Planning and more Planning
... to be easy. Anything bad that I have said about the bus system on Reunion Island I now unreservedly repudiate. Madagascar is fantastic, blinding sunlight in the mornings and cooler, languid afternoons, all of which we viewed from the comforts ...
Travel
... that I spent most of the 10 hour flight with my head in a paper bag! After what seemed like an age, we arrived in Madagascar's capital city, Antananarivo or Tana for short. It was 5.00 in the morning and still dark as we arrived but as we queued for visas ...
Tana for the third time
Moderately early start from a very misty Vakona, which apparently is very common. And another lovely drive, retracing our route of yesterday back to Tana. Took us three hours this time withouth the holiday and diversions. Returned to ...
Around Tana
Another interesting day, and not too strenuous. Although I didn't sleep particularly well, partly stuffed up becuase I was allergic to something in the room and partly because I think I had been bitten and was itching, and the noise from the ...
Tana and home
Slept better in spite of quite a bit of noise from the corridor at times. Had a nice breakfast in the Garden Cafe, the main restaurant was closed as it was Sunday. I headed out for a last wander. I had totally that it was a week until ...

Moving on and moving in
It's been one month since the cyclone hit, almost one week since my dad visited, and about one hour since arriving back in my town, after traveling for training and vacation. I still don't feel completly settled. Lack of sleep and living out of ...
About to visit my 'hood
... 'll and the family a lot this week. Hopefully, cocktail hour was enjoyable and you tested out some new recipes. And about Madagascar. I got through practicuum and taught a couple classes of 9-10 year olds, there were about 50 of them. Which was good ...
White People at the Zoo & Canada Day
Finally, a day to travel and get involved in the culture. Luckily we found out from Ravaka that a taxi should cost around 5,000 ariary (so divide this by about 2000 and that's 1 Canadian dollar). We hailed down a cab and he said 10,000…nice try ...
Propaganda
I wondered what form of propaganda would be used for the upcoming presidential elections. It's a pick up truck, plastered with candidates posters and big, loud speakers, that blare music and messages about the candidate, and does about 45 mph on the ...

A Valentine's Day Dialogue
Happy Valentine's Day! We had a Valentine's Day themed English Club yesterday and one of the high school students wrote this dialogue. The students have been experimenting with slang and expressions, but don't always get it right... John and ...
wandering around hilly Tana
Friday found me waking at a very bracing 6am and i thought i would head out for a wander aroud the streets of the Haute-Ville where i am staying. Even at that time the streets were bustling and the temperature was up. I wandered aimlessly for an ...
Day 13 Antananarivo
... In Tulear, we were able to do a bit of shopping, and then went for a long lunch. After that we caught a flight back to Antananarivo which arrived just in time for us to go out for dinner. We went to Chez Marriette, described as a formidable chef, she has ...
Indalala
Last Tuesday my roommate and I received a call from Peace Corps that a hurricane (cyclone) was near. They said it was supposed to hit Wednesday but wouldn't be that strong. They wanted us to pack a bag and stay somewhere else ...
Night on the town in Tana
... so often as a stabbing pain, but I'm not bed ridden. Ravaka picked us up early around 8:30am and after having the last of my Madagascar peanut butter, I can’t wait to be back in SA for the PB and then back to Canada for some real and true KRAFT! Lol ...

Getting Settled
... think all the ingredients are available here, but I can't remember the measurements for the dressing... Oh yeah, I'm not at the Antananarivo address anymore. I don't have my address memorized yet and left the paper at home, of course. But I will send ...
Tsingy and back
... (Boeing). I decided to name my future cat after that ferry. Marta and I have started a BYO alphabet for Madagascar to capture the ridiculous array of things people bring as baggage on public transportation. Without a doubt, someone ...
