Tyler Swain Madagascar Day 19

Madagascar Day 19


Life here continues. Today was my host sister's birthday. The party was downstairs, and fihavanana kicked in again when I met even more family members who came to celebrate. I love how family-centered life is here. But I don't like how mosquitos seem to dismiss the perils of DEET in favor of my blood.


Oh, and I learned more about the political crisis today and how it came about. Although current (not recognized by the US, though) president Andry Rajoelina may have encouraged a coup d'état of sorts, it seems as though my once beloved Marc Ravalomanana was no saint. Silly media bias, you won't work when one sees things for oneself!
