If you want an excuse to procrastinate (slash if you want to know anything about the place where I'll be living for a couple years--besides the fact that there are lemurs, for the Duke students among you), feel free to check out these websites. The Peace Corps says, "Below are a few links to get you started in your discovery." Doesn't that sound exciting? Settle down.
The World Factbook--Madagascar: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ma.html
Embassy of Madagascar: http://www.embassy.org/madagascar/
The Lonely Planet: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/africa/madagascar/
Cortez Travel and Expeditions: http://www.air-mad.com/
The Living Edens--Madagascar: http://www.pbs.org/edens/madagascar/
I haven't really looked at any of these sites yet, but the Living Edens one sounds either awful (if it refers to the quad I lived in for two different years) or amazing (if it, you know, refers to paradise). If you are too lazy to read (more than this entry, in any case), feel free to watch the movie. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it's VERY accurate and will describe my future life in every possible way. Or just close your eyes and imagine me playing with animals. That will be very helpful as well. Or if you want, you could just wear the same clothes every day and eat lots of rice, and I'm pretty sure that might help you understand what my life will be like. And bucket showers. Take lots of bucket showers. With cold water. Awesome.
