Some Friends of mine's Home Page

BIG CHANGE !!! Due to the growing list of people who have built pages related to Madagascar (either from Madagascar or have some interest on the island), I have made a separate page for this. I strongly advise you to visit each member of the list if you want to really learn about Madagascar. As far as I can, the language in which the page is written will be specified in brackets.
([MAL] for Malagasy, [ENG] for English, [FR] for French, [JP] for Japaneese, [ESP] for Spanish).

History, Language, Culture, Music, ...you name it, find it from the listed pages.
