Hi everyone!

I'm currently in Fianarantsoa, south of Tana, on our Tech Trip. We're gone from the PC training center (PCTC) for a week, traveling around and learning the technical aspects of rice farming etc. The road we have been on is generally good (the national north-south highway), but there have been many a carsick traineee. This is due not exclusively to the curvy roads, but also due to the fact that the PC drivers are possibly the most aggressive in the country, and are also provided with some of the only cars that still operate on all cylinders and can have their brake pads replaced frequently.

Some of my favorites (so far)

Malagasy saying:

"Olombelo tsy akoho." Literally meaning "People are not chickens." It is used to stop a taxi-brousse when you have to go to the bathroom, the idea being that chickens a) do not pee, but people do, and b) unlike chickens, people don't do their business in the same place they sit.
