I like it there. It can get a bit dull, especially on Sundays as everything is closed, would be a good idea to go to the Ramena beach most weekends.

Thanks for that. Yes, there are so few cars on the road, I did'nt realize there was a fuel shortage thought it was just not being able to afford gas mostly.

haha....J'ai dû supprimer quelques vidéos... cela arrive parfois sur RUclips.

@@pddembowski 😭

In Africa "sister" can mean friend. But these two have the same mother.

I should be there in September, not sure where. Maybe Tana, Tamatave or Tulear. Even Morondova or Diego is possible.

bajaj is another name for tuk-tuk. This was from March 31 2024. I'm heading to Austria next for a couple weeks.

@@pddembowski actually Bajaj is indian company producing this three wheeler but i was more joking on fact you were riding thrugh bush with those small wheels,of course you got stuck load your credit cards for Austria,they have disgustingly high prices comparing Madagascar at least by 5 but you must be accustomed by prices in your place already

@@danieleverywhere132 - Hopefully Austria is not much worse than Canada, the prices here are so high for groceries, etc..

@@pddembowski Groceries are not that expensive,particularly when you are shopping in stores like Lidl or Aldi but they will skin you with prices of hotels and restaurants basically every service is expensive because of high salaries and taxes,specially Wien is not for poor,caffe in Wien or lunch in Antananarivo is about same and warning if you plan to rent a car,austrian police has absolutely no pitty handing you fine for anything and speed cameras are everywhere

On these roads, the taxi-brousse would not have done better though. 😂

Indeed!

"We're in the center of all of these diversities" I like that phrase.

@@pddembowski Yeah! It sounds good! Thanks! And I hope/wish you'll discover more good things than bad during your visits!

I used a GoPro 10 in this video

@@pddembowski tkx

@@pddembowskiare there modern latrines throughout Madagascar for the tourists and the locals?

My Spanish is somewhere between B1-B2 intermediate. It's a bit isolating if you are travelling solo and don't speak Spanish, you will have more fun if you speak the Language as you can have conversations with locals. I think you are less likedly to get overcharged as well...But I think you can still have a good time with only English, I would recommend just staying in the Old Havana area if its your 1st visit. I met a UK guy who only spoke English who was having fun, hanging around bars and restaurants in the Old Havana area.

@@pddembowski Fair enough. Appreciate the answer and great videos as usual. Didn't realize you knew so many languages at a good level!

V & S Bar, I liked it there. I use a GoPro 10 for this video.

@@pddembowski Thanks for the answer. It would have to be very hot for the GoPro to overheat. I recently bought the 12, I hope they have minimized this problem. I'm thinking about going to Havana this year, and I really liked the way the Airbnb owner welcomed you. Could you please give me the name of the house? I would be very grateful.

In the Old Havana area there are many restaurants. Buying food from a supermarket to cook seems a problem. Fruit is very good there. Decent restaurants I went to include: El Mercedero, elegant dining room, professional waiters. Not so expensive Restaurante Sarrá - Loved the chicken tacos, cheap Restaurant Bulgaria - Not bad, entire fish was good. El Shamuskiao - Vegan restaurant but the Spaghetti Bolagnaise was great. Tasted better than the meat version.

Huh? From 6:15 to 6:30 you see many people on the narrow sidewalk, it was hard to pass. You may need to get your eyes checked. Have you ever walked around downtown Antananarivo during daytime? Of course not.. go there and report back.

@@pddembowski bowski, You seemingly haven't traveled much of the world. Go to Mumbai, Shanghai, Tokyo, Manila, Bangkok etc. to get a better feel for how the world is. . Oh, and you say it's too hot, but many of the people are wearing long-sleeve sweat shirts and light jackets. Also, the streets are quite clean comparitively. But you are correct on the need to be careful on the broken sidewalks!

I'm curious why they need to import chicken in Cuba. I've been to quite a few poor countries and their did'nt seem to be issues raising chickens.

@@pddembowski not sure. but i know i have no interest in ever returning to cuba as things are now. communism has not served them well overall. yes, lots of it has to do with economic sanctions. as a tourist i'm not interested in anything except the very best. i want good looking happy locals, beautiful buildings and scenery, and nice restaurants and shops. not interesting in what i experienced in cuba. i've been to many trash 3rd world nations and seen poor people enough for a lifetime. poor is common. i stay away from poor nations now. been there, don't that. i've been to over 50 countries and life is too short to waste time on poor and disorganized people, even if they're smiling.

why do most cars in North America have alarms if it's safe? Why do many homes in North America have expensive burglar alarms if it's' safe? Why does my local Walmart have quite a few security guards if its safe?

That's strange, Old Havana was not at all unsafe when I was there. Maybe other parts of Cuba are, I can't speak to that. Perhaps check out Copa Airlines, their hub is Panama City, Panama. If you can get to Panama there are quite a few flights to Havana.

NO SHIT! Sois The UK!

The UK is 100 times more dangerous than Cuba.
