New friends in Antsirabe

The pousse-pousse man




I asked the pousse-pousse driver if I could drag him this time - and surprisingly enough, he said yes! :) Every person on the street turned and stared, laughed and pointed at the white GIRL who dragged the black man in what had to be his pousse-pousse! Great fun and good exercise!:)



The sunset

Every evening Marita says: "Wow, look at the beautiful sky!" And every evening we enjoy a new, beautiful piece of art there in the horizon.

Our housekeeper Tinn



The maker of delicious Malagasy food who even washes and irons our clothes, sweeps the floor and helps us with our Malagasy homework. Today was the last day we could enjoy her presence though, sadly enough...

Mr. Tortoise



This creature walks around in his little compound all day long. If he's not walking or sleeping he's spending time with his wife, making sure the family name will be passed on...

The couple enjoying themselves on the bench

Mr. Tortoise isn't the only one. Black beetles caught in the act.


Spiderman

As you can see, I encounter new creatures everyday. Some more interesting than others, but all of them making the hot days exciting and different, giving breath-taking moments to a young vazaha-girl from Europe...

Umm ... spiders are like that down there, or are you just fooling me again? If they are, it might be just as well I am here in Norway :) are some of them dangerous though?

Anyway, I'll get you a pousse-pousse here, so you'll have the means to make a living once you get back :)

Talk later, enjoy the week end. Hugs!
