beaucoup de choses ont changé ces dernières années et le pays est littéralement en train de sombrer. je pense que tu auras quelques surprises quand tu reviendras. évidemment, je ne te déconseille pas de venir, je dis juste que c'est aussi une chance de pouvoir vivre ailleurs parce que la large majorité de la population de Madagascar vit dans des conditions inhumaines

I am French but live in New Hampshire. My mother's uncle was Postmaster General of French West Africa in Dakar, Senegal. I often heard of Madagascar in my youth. This video is precious to me, as it shows the modern version of this French -speaking island. I am 79 and still have the African letters and stamps depicting African culture back then. Thank you so much for producing this awesome ducumentary. I will see the others after this one. Good luck. Michel
Merci d'avoir partagé votre histoire familiale. J'aimerais bien voir ça, j'ai un grand uncle belge qui connaissait le Rwanda de l'époque, c'était fascinant d'écoute ces histoires.
Thanks for this latest, and maybe the first video in English. I really enjoy learning about this country, but all the others seems to be in French, I really hope you will more and possible longer ones Thanks again.
Like 29 👍 Hello from Naples, Florida An awesome walk around a very beautiful city. We enjoyed. Thank you so much for sharing this part of the world with us.
Such a to itself country, a lot of the world forget that it's there and exists with real people but videos like this bring people back to reality and show them the many different parts of this large and beautiful world we live in.
Amazing that an island only 400 miles off the coast of Africa was not colonised by Africans. But colonised by people from Indonesia some 3000 miles away. The whole place looks very European.
To be precisely inhabitated by Indonesians during Srivijaya Empire and then mixed with Afro-Bantu tribes. As an Indonesian, observing everything about it like seeing long-lost relatives. Thanks.
ohhhh so thats what it is, i always felt something was weird about how they looked, they looked asian, my grandmother lived in mozambique and the africans there looked different.
@@K1ngq4t yes primarily the merina people who live on the central highland around which the city of antananarive is situated. I wish i could come there for a visit
The Merinas alias majority are the most Austronesian-looking ones in Madagascar. The rest is reminding me of eastern part of Indonesia especially the Timors and Moluccans...
We were there in April! Tana! Those streets. Hard to capture with a video all the markets, packed roads, cars driving with no stop lights and stop signs etc. It such a high visiting there. I’m from US.
I typed your question into Bing Copilot and it gave me: www.visionvalleyschool.com in Tana. But if your going to be in Madagascar for awhile you have to go all in on French or Malagasy unless of course you already speak those languages and want to learn English.
You can have best exchange rate at Socimad, it's not far from where you started your video. They have a box at the airport as well, as far as I remember. It's much better than the bank rate.
That's just the downtown of Antananarivo, the Capital, but it will turn into a bad nightmare just 2-3 km away, especially when it comes to pollution, quality of roads and cleanliness.
Most tourists come to Madagascar for the coastal cities, Morondova, Tulear, Nose Be, Majunga, etc... I think the main attractions would be: exotic wildlife, plants and beaches. The hotels I stayed in were around $35 per night. They have AirBnb but not a great selection there. Taxi require bargaining, normally in French. I suppose you could use Google translate for limited conversations. The restaurants here are better than any other developing country I've been to. Not expensive either.
It’s interesting but ancestors of the majority of the Madagascarian population came here not from Africa which is close, but from a far away Indonesia.
I think the consensus is don't walk around at night time in Antananarivo. I saw a comment from someone who recently got robbed at knifepoint here at night. I believe he has lived in Madagascar 10 years, so not a newbie tourist.
I do like that you're visiting the place but haven't yet made a study of how it's pronounced! I assume most of the city isn't that nice, but considering how poor the country is by most indicators, it's amazing that so much of the capital is pretty nice.
when I was growing up in Germany, there was this song "we were anchoring before Madagascar and we had the plague aboard..." All the kids sang it and since then I have always dreamed of Madagascar. I could bite my butt that I did not travel there all the years that I could. Nowadays with the plandemic tyranny and a coming world war where Blessed Mother Mary has told us to not travel far away anymore, all that is left now is the films on youtube. But I am so grateful ! Thank you

you just did, I never even knew about that... SMH where are smart folks these days

Look better than Haiti but I don't see a single street light or stop sign in the city at all.

Essa região central de Antananarivo lembra algumas grandes cidades brasileiras na década de 80. Aspecto muito semelhante.
pior que é verdade. me lembra e muito minha cidade Campinas - SP.
Pior , até hoje em dia lembra bastante o interior de SP , principalmente aqui no Vale do paraiba
Zona Norte do Rio
Not bad at all, no dust...... Hallo from Nairobi, Kenya

this seems like a cleaner city than most african capitals. the history of this world is amazing
That's just the downtown of Antananarivo, the Capital, but it will turn into a bad nightmare just 2-3 km away, especially when it comes to pollution, quality of roads and cleanliness.
My country Guinea-Bissau 🇬🇼 is pretty clean and is in Africa
Very interesting place I like it even their valleys mountains etc
Nice to see a city without dark shadows from huge towers and large crowds jostling on pavements.
Thank you 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️ we now try to learn english France has hurt us so much
It's simple and beautiful city
On my last trip I've stayed for months! Tana is lovely. I took tons of videos there!
Thanks.. heading there May .. 🙏
I plan to save money to visit Madagascar I’m of Malagasy decent and I’m learning the language. So excited to visit my people.
Sounds great. Check out iTalki online if you want to chat with people in another language. I'm sure they have some Malgache speakers.
Paul, how expensive is it there? Such as a 3-star hotel, restaurant fast food and sit-down -dining, What is there to see? Taxi? Criminal activity?

Love the old renault 4s

Exploring Africa from Nigeria
I am from libya .
I was born there in Madagascar in the capital antananarivo 1985.
I like to travel there to the second country .
gives off a vibe similar to Guyana but I absolutely have no idea why
Yeah after your comment i check your country and it's true kinda little bit similar as you said funny.
I know a girl on aruba that had livrd on madagascar.
C est notre ville. Merci pour ce vidéo
Legend says she's still standing there makin dudes trip.
Great content👌👌, I'm glad you didn't get robbed holding your phone/camera up high like that 🤔
Because the area he took a picture is much more safe than in downtown area
