Madagascar is really, really big. Also the infrastructure is bad, like really really bad. I have seen some bad infrastructure and Madagascar said "No, No, my friend, you've seen nothing yet." One thing both Eva and I found unique about the Malagasy is how much more vibrant life on the big island is than the neighboring continent. It may not be easy to get places in Madagascar, but where ever you go, people are going somewhere. Business is more active, people are more creative, and you see more of both gender walking down the road. In fact, it seems that business is always a family affair. Here is a touch of Malagasy work life.
