One of Madagascar's reputation along being the last Eden on earth (trying very hard to not be cynical) is our sense of hospitality. Of course they'll share the roof and food with you if you happen to get lost the rainforest or the desert. It's normal to show you the way  on the next morning after a very tiring night of Kabary and little stories telling on life (thoughness) and Razana's miracles. But don't stay too long…

Antananarivo. Capitale of thousands. In 2008, thousands became million. Poverty, Pollution, People… many don't mind (but them). But you can't miss the obvious : Antananarivo is the capitale of millions  ethnicities. If you were simplist (like me) you'll think about an evolution of our traditionnal sectarian system. When Andriana use Hova to employ Andevo. You know, the usual stuff people bring out when they want to revive … what exactly do they want to revive? I'll give to others the opportunity to answer this nihilist questioning. What you is obvious under the hills is a mozaïc of races, cultures, languages, trends and normalities.

Why work? Foreign companies, neo-colonialist entrepreneurs are already in the place to make you work. Karana community are making so much profits in our place. Of course nobody complains , the governement last, about exploitation and inegalities. As long as they don't do it Gallieni's way and there are no Red Book. man, mining companies are doing their job, means destroying the environment, exploiting local resources and exporting everything out of the country. Let's say we didn't know about their activities…Let's just beat the more vulnerable ones and fake our disgust and hatred. 

Why help ? There are gazillions of them all over the country. For them, we do everything to make our life look beautifully poor and needy on TV5 and CNN. Personnally I think if we boot all the NGO out of Madagascar, we won't look this exotic anymore … And there you have those little frustrated people complaining about the lack of aids for Malagasy non-profit and never trying to check if they took professionalism and ethical classes.

Why love ? Here we are at a Fisehona (by the way these ceremonies are becoming more and more luxurious these days…), the elders are not very happy with their groom's choice : the girl is from this village in the middle of somewhere region when Dadabe use to sell omby and they bury their deads at this place where… blblablabalbaabla.. "yes but they have 4×4 and villas" points this thoughtful aunt.

Why tout court? Mpiavy are so useful when they don't stay too long…
