Life has become pretty difficult in Madagascar since the "coup" in 2009, but there's always time to stop off for a quick snack before school, washed down with some sickeningly sweet tea. Life is slow and communal - lived in each other's back pockets at a pace long-forgotten in the developed world. But despite the hardships, passers-by haven't forgotten how to smile, laugh and say a quick hello. The West could learn a thing or two from this downtrodden island in the Indian ocean.
