Sitting on the BJ212, Xiao Peng has already determined that this car must be older than his own age!

This 212 doesn't even have a synchronizer! Watching Rafa drive is called uncomfortable, and he has to strictly abide by the two-foot clutch mantra of 'stepping on and plucking, stepping on and hanging', and every time he changes gears, he has to go around in neutral gear, which is called a tired! What kind of electronic assistance and the like don't even think about it------ Xiao Peng didn't see a good one on the dashboard of the whole car。。。。。。

The classic two large round lights on the car, the old-style three-horizontal grille, and the original triangular door made Xiao Peng instantly return to decades ago.

But this car is really not for people to sit in! The rough assembly, the exposed wires, and the rust everywhere! The car has never considered comfort! There is no point in any space comfort. Xiao Peng sat in the back row, the two dogs leaned on him, and he was about to pee!

This also has to do with the traffic in Madarascar.

The difference in road conditions here is amazing!

Here, the roads of the whole country are dirt roads, and even the main roads of their national highways are in various disrepairs。。。。。。

So in this country, there are basically no buses, all the means of transportation are small cars!

This also gave rise to a new industry: pavers, which is actually a strange way of begging.

After all, Madagascar is really poor, and the title of 'one of the least developed countries in the world' is not justified! There are a lot of children on the side of the road, staring barefoot at passing cars. Anyway, they didn't have anything to learn or do, so they stood on the side of the road, and when they saw a car coming, they ran to the dirt pit on the side of the road to fill in a few dirt pits and pretended to be pretended, and when the car arrived, they ran all the way, patting the window and asking for money.

In such a situation, it is generally enough to give a hundred 'ariaries'.

If you want to experience the treatment of the rich, it's really right to go to Madagascar, the price here is really low!

Their currency is called 'ariary', the highest face value is 10,000 ariary, don't be frightened by this number, subtract three zeros from 10,000 and multiply it by 2.2 is the money in yuan, that is to say, 10,000 ariary, which is equivalent to 22 yuan in yuan. The per capita income here is $400 a year. In other words, the monthly income is 210 yuan! The so-called high-income people here are probably 500 yuan.

One hundred ariary is equivalent to two cents and two cents, but this money is enough for the children to thank you from the bottom of their hearts.

But don't be stupid to come here to play with the yuan, the exchange rate of the yuan here is very poor, and people here recognize it as the dollar or the euro.

It is not difficult to exchange money, and the BFV-SG banks in their country are fee-free, but the daily cash withdrawal cannot exceed four hundred thousand ariary, so it is beneficial to bring a few more cards. Of course, you can also find foreign exchange dealers------ poor countries have this profession, and China used to have it, and in that era, many people relied on reselling foreign exchange to call themselves rich.

Xiao Peng doesn't have to look around for foreign exchange dealers, just look for Rafa. He took out two thousand five hundred dollars and exchanged nearly eight million ariaries, even if the highest face value of ariary was ten thousand, he also exchanged a thick stack!

This is Yang Meng's idea, saying that it is more refreshing to spend cash. Xiao Peng scolded Yang Meng for being a turtle, but deeply agreed with Yang Meng's opinion. Does a local tyrant have to have a local tyrant's way of consumption? No matter how worthless this money is, it's amazing enough to take out such a stack, right?

And the prices here are very low, so the money is still very spending! And there are basically no credit cards here, relying on cash. The national situation is like this, and no one can do anything about it. Wasn't it the same in China forty years ago?

As for why there are two thousand five hundred dollars? That is what Xiao Peng left in the Stars and Stripes, and although the maximum denomination of the Stars and Stripes is one hundred dollars, the maximum denominations used there are ten dollars and twenty-five dollars. Those who spend 100 yuan bills in the Stars and Stripes are generally Chinese。。。。。。

Xiao Peng and his family drove away from Antananarivo, and as a result, the dilapidated Gallic houses were nowhere to be seen, and most of the houses lived here were made of leaves and thatch.

Because it is poor here, it depends on tourism, so all kinds of fancy begging can be seen everywhere.

Just like when she was at the airport, Xiao Peng was holding a single-lens reflex camera to take pictures there, and a woman holding a child came over and took the initiative to ask Xiao Peng to take pictures of her and the child. After the shooting, I asked Xiao Peng directly: Did you bring any money and give her some model fees.

Xiao Peng is stupid, what the hell is this Nima? Yang Meng casually gave her ten yuan, but it seemed that she was still not satisfied? Yang Meng, who was angry, almost took back the money!

And here, almost anything can be bargained, whether you're buying fruits, vegetables, food, gifts, long-distance fares, taxi fares, that's all negotiable. Buy a banana? a hundred ariary. Buy a kilogram of Sakya fruit?1,000 ariarias, and eat a meal of Madagascar rice (similar to a donburi)2,000 ariaries, less than 5 yuan!

The zebu cow, which is regarded as the 'sacred cow' by the people of India, is a delicacy that can be seen everywhere here, relying on a string of 100 ariarias of beef. And what fried dough, fried bananas, fried vegetable cakes, fried cassava, etc., generally cost two hundred ariary. That's less than five cents。。。。。。

Xiao Peng tasted all these snacks in the spirit of experiencing life, but he really said that he could only taste them.

The infrastructure in Madagascar is really poor, and the source of drinking water is a big problem. There are usually small water stations on the outskirts of the city, and merchants bring clean water here to sell to the common people, but what about the more remote places? The common people can only fetch water from the yellow river water. So there will be little sand and gravel in the food, and it will feel like the slums of Insan.

Therefore, tourists who come here will generally buy mineral water to drink every day, and they will also go to good hotels to eat, and the price is actually not expensive, and they can eat and drink enough for less than 50 yuan.

It's also good to be cheaper。。。。。。

It is actually not far from Antananarivo to Murondava, but Xiao Peng and they drove for more than ten hours, after all, the road on this road is too bad!

Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, is located in the west-central part of Madagascar, which has a standard savannah climate and is somewhat semi-desertified. And Murondawa is in the easternmost part, which is a standard tropical rainforest climate, the air is humid, to put it bluntly, it is yellow in the east and green in the west. This is also the reason why Xiao Peng chose to go to Murondawa.

However, along the way, Xiao Peng has completely opened his eyes, and this Madagascar is definitely a country where 'money can make ghosts grind'. Who have you seen the most along the way?

The police!

In Madagascar, police can be found everywhere, and there are police checkpoints on the side of the road at any intersection.

Xiao Peng didn't know why at first, but he was still sighing to Rafa, 'You Madagascar are really good, you know the poor law and order, and you know the truth of making up for the dead!

This is a problem in Madagascar, which is so poor that it is understandably high in crime.

There are generally two types of crime here: robbery and theft, both of which are concentrated in large cities or tourist towns. It's almost impossible to see in the middle of nowhere. Robbers usually commit crimes at night, so similar to the Stars and Stripes here, there are no people on the streets at night. And theft is the most annoying thing. When you arrive in Madagascar, you must keep an eye on your mobile phone and bank cards, which are the favorite of thieves.

And without these two things, it would be absolutely difficult to move an inch in Madagascar!(Tips, the first thing you do when you get off the plane in Madagascar is to apply for a visa, and the second thing is to apply for a mobile phone card.) Domestic mobile phones are directly available, and you need a passport to buy a card, five yuan a piece. You need to buy a recharge card to charge the phone bill. ）

But after several contacts with the Malagasy police, Xiao Peng directly retracted this sentence.

These police officers have set up so many checkpoints and checked? That's non-existent! Asking for tips and fines is their real purpose!

There is no long-distance bus in Madagascar that is not overcrowded, and a small van the size of an 'Iveco' can carry more than 30 people! When such an overloaded car passes by this checkpoint, the driver directly stretches out the tip that has been prepared long ago, and the police accept the money and wave their hands, and the long-distance bus can leave.

And the main target of their censorship is foreign tourists! As long as you come across everything from your carry-on luggage to your passport documents, you must carefully check them, and if you forget to bring your passport and are found, you have to wait for the fine!

Of course, there is also a way to tip them without a fine, and to fine them 100,000 ariary? If you give me 50,000 yuan, I won't give you a fine! Is this a secret here? Everyone did this, and Xiao Peng had witnessed at least four or five such things along the way. Xiao Peng simply asked Yang Meng to put the passports of the two in front of the windshield, do you want to see it?

That's not all. The most interesting thing is that the police here are really justifiably soliciting bribes, and the reasons are also varied, such as 'how comfortable you are driving, look at us and bask in the sun for your safety。。。。。。 ''Alas, you see we are on the side of the road, and our clothes are all gray, and no one washes them, and we have no money to change them. Hey, you have a good dress, can you give me a cigarette?'' 'Is this your Chinese cigarette?' It smells good to smoke, can you smoke one for me?'

Don't expect to get it back when you put it on, you are definitely not picky about asking for bribes here, and you won't let go of a cigarette!

The most ridiculous thing is that Xiao Peng gave a cigarette to a policeman, he said that he had no fire, Xiao Peng lit his own cigarette with a lighter, but this girl turned around with the lighter and ran away! Xiao Peng laughed happily.

That's his ZIPPO lighter------ although there are at least one hundred and eighty different ones in his ring, but you're robbing it!

Hey, are you still a cop?
