In Madagascar ,travelling in “taxi-brousse” is really wonderful.Let’s take an example the “taxi-brousse” to Toamasina.Toamasina is the one of the six provinces in Madagascar which is located in the east cost.You could find many “taxi-brousse “stations but you can find with which one you will want to have a ride. if you really want to take a picture for our wonderful sceneries ,you can travel in daylight or leave the station the afternoon around 4pm.The driver will satisfy the passengers with “salegy music or kilalaky music”…or the last new top of international songs.Otherwise ,on the way ,if someone wants to pee,you have to say the driver “olombelo tsy akoho sofera” that means you need a break.Then after that ,on the half way ,there are many places to have lunch,then you can order malagasy meals like TONGO KISOA RITRA ,RAVITOTO SY HENA KISOA.By the way ,if you don’t like that you could do shopping with the differences of handicrafts or the local fruits it depends on the season like oranges,litchis….then after the break ,all passengers gather to continue the trip.I am really happy if one day ,you could join us and try this experience.Enjoy!
