Let's go karting!

Having taught History and Geography last year I could turn this blog post into a look at Malagasy society, and its struggles to move with the times and proactively bring about positive change. Or I could just let the pictures tell a story of a people enjoying their laid-back lifestyles; of a transport system that embraces the new wholeheartedly but is equally happy with patiently shrugging its collective shoulders and putting up with tortoise-like vehicles, relics of a bygone era, clogging its arteries.

My posts won't always be funny, but hopefully they will show what makes life over here just that touch more off-beat than many capital cities in the first world.

Easy does it ...

Slowly, slowly ...

Now we're really moving ...

P.S. And on a more serious note: my thoughts and prayers continue to go out, as they have all week, for a young lady who, in faith and at great risk to her own personal safety, decided to stand up for her convictions; decided to turn her back on an oppressive, wicked system and say, "I believe!"
