Tourist Guide

Sunrise over the Indian Ocean from Jupiter Hill (so called, because one of the other volunteers thought the red light on top of the telephone mast was Jupiter on one of the first nights)

The bustling market is just too busy for some. Once a week a large market would be held in Mahatalaky, drawing in buyers and sellers from the smaller surrounding villages.

In the building pictured, it was mainly cassava that was sold (you can see it on the right hand side, towards the back).

#market
Madagascar, a country in which people eat more rice per capita than any other country. I can confirm this from watching the team of Malagasy builders I was working with at the time make mini Everest's of rice at every meal
Roulette on market day, a more basic version than the gamblers in Vegas play.
