Any third world country is a shock when a first worlder arrives. Antananarivo supplied exactly what you would expect. An airport built in the dawn of aviation with computers for check in but no security screening. It was nice to tell the throng of taxi drivers I don’t need a taxi – one more plane ( with propellers ) and I’ll be in Mahajunga.
