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
@@marysue1146 Je prefere revenir parce que c'est comme ça qu'on apporte le savoir et les connaissances à notre pays.

Tana hasn't changed much as I've visited it back in 2007, 2013, and 2017 other than many shiny new cars. Plan to come back again someday to visit the southeastern region of Madagascar. Thanks for the update of Tana's sidewalks/streets!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 am the manager of Sole hôtel, thank you for including my hotel in your video.
Any vaccent here
Very nice hotel

you just did, I never even knew about that... SMH where are smart folks these days
Hi dear Volatiana, I am from Istanbul Turkey.
Can we write to you about madagascar?
Look better than Haiti but I don't see a single street light or stop sign in the city at all.
@@charleshoang566 Because there's almost no street light and no stop sign at all

Always interested how Madagascar city look like, thanks
You filmed the part of Tanà that I love the most. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have since I first visited it in 1997. From Italy
Beautiful video! My first here on this UA-cam video.
Hello is there an Universirty in Madagascar which its medium of teaching is English?

Looks better than I expected
Watching from Jakarta hoping to see Indonesian/malay looks walking by on the streets of antananarivo

Not bad at all, no dust...... Hallo from Nairobi, Kenya
Good video roed street view good mudghascure city views IAM from karachi Pakistan good luck
Looks like an interesting place. Your video quality is great. Thanks.
Very interesting place I like it even their valleys mountains etc
Very beautiful tour
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
Love Madagascar ❤from INDIA 👍
A lot of French cars, loving the cobblestone roads too
Yes, the road I stayed on there was nice, just so much traffic.
My country 🇲🇬 🇲🇬 ❤
so beautiful 😍
👌
Thanks.. heading there May .. 🙏
Wow.. this city looks so beautiful. I would love to visit one day. The people seem really nice too.
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.
manao ahoana ianao. I am from Ethiopia used to live in Madagascar since 1994 - March 2000 the country still the same No change at all.
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?

Nice to see a city without dark shadows from huge towers and large crowds jostling on pavements.
It's simple and beautiful city
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
Dude.. at 6:28.. the green shirt.. as a Canadian you never said a word... That shirt in Madagascar.. cool.
Très intéressant.

Would be better if you show some prices, like cost for your breakfast.
Such a nice big village 😍

Hi nice video please make more videos thanks excellent 👍
Wow i kinda wana visit there it's like the Philippines!
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.

@@musashi4856it's not all madagascar. Antananarivo is the most dangerous one the rest is ok mostly in the coast is safe
I can't belive l saw a lots of Renault 4 all French car .
What camera are you using, If you dont mind me asking ?
Hi I used a GoPro 10
@@pddembowski thanks for responding back , appreciate your videos 👍
Wow how clean it is. Maybe poor but spotless with pride.i live in South Africa and it's a dustbin compared to this

Surprised to see that you only have 8.3k subscribers. Thought you had a lot more than that. Stay safe!!
