a friend from the journey. definitely held him for a while.

traveling by road in madagascar means le taxi brousse - where 25 people fit into a bus meant for 12. each ride is special in its own way, and almost all are horrifying. vomiting amongst passengers is not infrequent. there is usually a rooster calling from the trunk. it takes 5 hours to travel 100 kms. you get the idea.

sunset view from a park in isoraka, tana.

the big staircase; or where you can buy just about anything imaginable. annika warned me not to go here at night. the vendors go home and the prostitutes come out.

tana is surprisingly european.
