The island of mixed-culture

The fourth largest island in the world – most Japanese have heard of the name, Madagascar. However, the exact/distinct/detailed/accurate location seems not to be clear. Some people think it is north of Australia, others believe it close to India. In fact, it is located east of African continent. This country is famous for its unique/rare/particular/different fauna and flora: rare monkeys, chameleons and baobabs. 

The nature in the countryside surely makes your stay fascinating, but do not forget that people live here. They are also　fantastic/unique/awesome/different/rare. It is interesting to know that ancestor settled here only 1,500 years ago, coming from Southeast Asia by boat. Afterwards, people from the African continent immigrated to this island. Nowadays, Asian and African cultures are well mixed here. You can also enjoy western culture – even excellent croissant and delicious coffee, remaining parts of the influence of French colonization.

What do you think is the staple food here? Wheat? Potato? Cassava? Yes, they often eat them but remember that most people were coming from Asia: Rice is the most important food for the people here.  The per-capita consumption of rice of them is twice as much as that of Japan!
