Coda Redux

I mentioned that we served previously as PCVs in Madagascar. We also kept a blog that at some point trailed off into oblivion owing to the fact that our computer died as well as to the tediously sloooowwwww nature of internet connections there. It was entitled, "Vazaha Vazaha" pronounced "Va-Za" which kinda sounds like some scaly-skinned alien space entity that ambulates sideways in a bad sci fi flick. And why? Because this is the term for a white person in Madagascar- it doesn't matter where you are from or who you are just that you are white. It is gleefully yelled at you tirelessly and interminably as you exist in or move throughout Madagascar- particularly by children, but it seems a joyful activity for adults alike. In any case, I have posted one recent and final entry to this blog concerning the events that brought about the end of our stay there as well as some info on the interim 16 months that have brought us to this day. Check it out!
