One of the things that really surprised me about Madagascar are what the poverty everywhere. You have no idea what poverty is until you really see the primitive lifestyle that everyone lives in encircling Madagascar. The pousse pousse drivers, which can be equated to rickshaws, run with bare feet. There are some who actually have […]
