What is the Capital of Madagascar?
And the more important question is - how the bloody hell do you pronounce it?
A rather intrepid traveller came in to see me yesterday with either Madagascar or Morocco in mind. Part of my job is to get as much information about the client as possible, such as why they want to go to said destination. This guy, who has obviously thought about it for a long time, replied:
'Because they have lemurs! I really want to see the lemurs!'
Don't we all, eh? That said, he stumped me with the capital city question. The answer is 'Antananariva' which looks like the end product if the person who invented the word 'banana' was given a little more creative leeway.
My all expenses paid weekend at Seaworld was fantastic fun, and although I ended up not getting dressed up (boo me!) there were enough Vicky Pollards and Anns to make up for it. Little Britain as a theme doesn't really suit a woman, though. Let's face it - it's hilarious to see a bloke in a dress, especially if he's wearing a cardigan that he has bought especially for the occasion. A woman dressing up as a woman is slightly less effective, although some enterprising ladies had some pretty convincing monobrows.
End result of week - no one has died because of my shockingly bad skills as a travel consultant. I am eyeing all people with iPods with a certain degree of suspicion, though.
