  1. I saw this on the ground. My first thought was, "It's a trap! A money tract. There's a Malagasy Gospel message on the inside."

    Nope. It's a real 200 Ariary bill. Worth about 4½¢ US, and that's not nothing.

    I wasn't trying to impress anyone with one small bucket strapped to my bike. But some guy just had to one-up me carrying 4 55-gallon drums.

  3. Virginia jalapeño peppers, with labeling in English, French, and Arabic, found by an American at an Indian grocery store, in Madagascar.

    This is big deal for a kid from Arizona: A reliable source of jalapeños.

  4. "Madagascar’s awakening today, after sixteen years of oppression and media suppression, is proof that we must now build the foundations for a journalistic sector that ensures free information."

  5. In a previous life I was a bike light specialist. And then I couldn't find any good lights in Madagascar. Suddenly this supermarket (Super U) has a great selection.

    Reminiscent of Planet Bike products.

  7. A Snickers knock-off in Madagascar.

    What do you think of when you think of chocolate, peanuts, caramel, and nougat? Hunting of course!

  8. Fotsy finds herself in the vicinity of Utah without ever leaving Madagascar.

    (We've been cutting sod from our yard to transplant to another yard.)

  13. "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank, translated to Malagasy. Found at a local supermarket (Carrefour).

    I'm finally going to read it (the English version).

  15. Reconstructing the history of Madagascar. An interview with novelist Michèle Rakotoson (in French)

    In my queue...

    French conquest (1894), quelling a popular uprising with massacres (1947), student revolt (1972), GenZ revolution (2025).

  16. A "Believable Easter" sale at a local supermarket. Doubting Thomas demands to see the holes in those prices.

    At Carrefour, Akorondrano

  17. Shredding on my daughter's ukulele. Would you believe I found a Harley Benton uke in a Madagascan supermarket?

    One of my kabosys looks on jealously.

  18. I finally saw a mole cricket — rather than just hearing them chirping loudly and invisibly below my lawn.

    This one was lost; on a 4th story windowsill.

  19. I finally went to Extrême Buritos in Antananarivo. I tried the "chicken cheese." It had a hotdog running down the middle of it. Other than that it was ... burrito-esque.

  20. A Malagasy "taco" vendor. I couldn't finish mine. Our dogs did not complain.

    They are based on the gastronomic abomination that the French dare to call "tacos" — mystery meat and soggy fries wrapped square in a tortilla.
