Young and Malagasy

Posted by: faratiana on: September 21, 2008

If you are interested in what a girl in her 20’s has to say about life in Madagascar then you ought to stay tuned to this blog. Just to give you a bit of background about me, I used to live in the USA for 16 years and I moved to Madagascar 8 years ago.  These last eight years in Madagascar have been the craziest years of my life – though not in a bad way.  Life is very different from what I was accustomed to in the USA – duh. For starters, I’m not allowed to move out of my parents’ house because of cultural reasons. I know that a lot of people deal with these kind of issues all the time, but I assure you, my case is different because I’m a very different person. Also to give you a sneak peak about what’s coming up in one month: I’ll be working in Iraq for one year. So…stay stuned!

wow faratiana, I want to know more, will definitely stay tuned.

mmm, a bit extreme that you are not allowed to move out of your parents’ house, and yet you are about to move to Iraq for a year…

So what do 20-somethings do for fun in Tana? And how are you going to be spending your month before leaving for Iraq?

Hey there :)

I look forward to reading more. Your move must have been a crazy culture shock experience.

What will you be doing in Iraq?

Who’s talking about Irak ? Huh … already eager to read from you Faratiana ;)

Hi, I’m a man about 32, single, I’ve used to analyse people behaviour, so I’m interested in exchange points of view about “young and malagasy” in order to take part of our self-development.

Life in US and im Mada are completely different. But why do you claim that your case is so special?

hey Faratiana,

i wish all the luck for your stay in Irak and hope you will stay safe while blogging ;)
