En försiktighet man genast får släppa på Madagaskar är oviljan att ge sig ut och promenera på mörka gator eller stränder om kvällarna. När det är mörkt här blir det riktigt mörkt, och el är det lite sisådär med. Det sammantaget med sena middagsvanor betyder mörkerpromenad för den som vill få något i sig.
