Madagascar diary

My Diary

Madagascar

Today is my first day in Madagascar and I am very excited to be here.
My work vacation lasts only two weeks, so I need to find as many places as I can.
The main reason why I came was that I'm working in Estonia where I have to landscape one of the most amazing projects that have ever made in Estonia.
The owner of the area has insisted that the new landscape must be similar to the real Madagascar. The only way to do this work was by asking him to arrange my trip to Madagascar and he made it! 
So let's begin with my first day.  I'm kind of tired because the fight was very long and I arrived 01.00PM to my host but at the same time I'm happy to be here and can not wait to discover new places.
Today I'm not going for a very long trip because I would love to find what the cities have to offer for me. I'm staying in the main town Antananarivo and I'm already in love with this city. 

Antananarivo, also known by its colonial shorthand form Tana, is the capital and largest city of Madagascar. Antananarivo was originally the site of a town called Analamanga, meaning "Blue Forest". The population of Antananarivo is about 1,6 million people.
It's a very historical city, so I'm Going to get to know the architectural side of Madagascar.
I'm staying here for 3 days and I'm not going to write much about this theme.


On my 4th day, I was going to stay at Anakao for also 3 days. It's a very beautiful place if You like to take a vacation in Madagascar. Anakao is divided into two parts. One has tourist accommodation, restaurants, and bars that give straight on to the beach, whilst the other part is a residential area, where houses creep inland close to the fields. A large number of canoes lined the beach, waiting to be taken out to sea, each one was as colorful as the next; a real picture postcard moment. The white sand and crystal clear sea created a myriad of glittering colors.

I'm staying here because one of my jobs was to discover breathtaking beaches and find good details to landscape one of the objects.
I found amazing things about that beach, so I think this is going to work very well in Estonia. I don't know where I can find so gorgeous and shining sand in Estonia.

My next trip was to find as many wonderful plants and trees as I can but they must be quite similar to Estonian ones because it is banned to transport anything out from Madagascar. It's illegal to take some plants with you from Madagascar. That is why my job is more difficult now. If I find something good, maybe we have some plants in Estonia that are possible to design or modify as close as local plants.

After seeing many wonderful plants i have decided what I can use in Estonia. I will just but some pictures to show what found.

 

They are so beautiful and I think we already have quite similar plants.
The trees are so stunning here and I'm a little bit sad because in Estonia we have alike trees but really small compared to local ones.

                 

 

                    

 


Now it is my7th day at Madagascar, that means I have only one more week to go.
I thought I should take one day off and tell some facts about Madagascar.
So let's begin. First things first.
Area of Madagascar is 587,040 km² and the capital city is Antananarivo where I was at the beginning of my journey. A country population is 22,000,000 and languages are
French & Malagasy. The primary language spoken in Madagascar is Malagasy followed by French. English is not spoken outside of major hotels and tourist attractions.



Popular foods and drinks :

Foza sy hena-kisoa: this dish consists of stir-fried pork and crab served with rice.
Ramazava: this dish is made up of leaves, herbs, and pieces of beef and pork cooked in oil until browned.
Vary amid’anana: this dish includes rice, leaves or herbs, meat and sometimes shrimp.
 

Most roadside stalls and stores will sell bottled water and Coca Cola. A popular local drink is ranonapango which is burned rice water.
 

Madagascar offers a tropical/subtropical climate with two seasons, summer from November to April and winter from May to October.  Summer is extremely hot and rainy in Madagascar with January to March experiencing particularly heavy rainfall and there is a risk of storms and cyclones to the east and north.  The winter months are very pleasant and offer cooler temperatures and much less rain. The best months to travel to Madagascar are April, October, and November.
 

So that was a few facts about Madagascar and now its time to do some work again.
On my 8th day in here, I thought I have to find some architectural places to collect inspiration.
 

I was driving around and I questioned the local people. The most popular place they suggested to go was Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park and it was awesome.

 

I'm sure I can use this kind of theme in my work and already imagine how great it would look like.
 

 My mind is blown away how wonderful everything looks in here. I hope I can use all of my ideas to combine and make something unique. 

To find all those amazing places took me almost 5 days and I think I have seen enough to go home a few days earlier. I called my boss and he agreed with me after seeing all my plans what I have already.
I very pleased to have this kind of opportunity and I met so many beautiful people.
Now it's time to go home and start to work on my goals. 

Tammsaare.

Anton was born on the island of Hansen Dam 18 (30 new calendar) day of January in 1878. in North Oak cottage on the island of Peter and Ann Hansen's fourth child.

They had 12 children, 10 of them grew up.

Oak Island was not just tolerate very wealthy, but they lived there said.Sellepärst they had to do a lot of work, and  this is why Anton Hansen got his love of nature and the will to work.

Anton Hansen education began at the age of eight Sääsküla parish school. After Sääsküla Prümli township schools and the completion of Anton Hansen continued his education at the parish school of Little Mary. There's one teacher was a well-known poet Jakob Tamm, who apparently suggested a future writer in writing to carry on. After attending the parish school of Hansen did not open, but not immediately on learning opportunity, and he had to go back to 1894 isatallu. It was only in 1896. he continued his studies first at the parish school, but after a couple of years already, Hugo Treffner Gymnasium in Tartu.
In 1907. Anton Hansen, was located in the UT law school. At the same time, he began activities as writers, taking home farm by a writer named Oak Saar, he became täispseudonüümiks AHTammsaare the island. In the University, however, he wrote a few, mainly grouping "Young Ireland" editions. The writer worked in addition to learning more in attendance at the left side of Estonian Student Society, Community, and also engaged in self-development in the world of literature, languages ​​and philosophy. The intense activity left its mark, however: in 1911. The island was discovered at Oak tuberculosis, the treatment of which he traveled to improving the health of the Black Sea. Studies at the University, however, were never completed.

1 September 1919 is located in Oak gaiter Weitmani to live on the street in Tallinn Apple. The marriage was officially registered until half a year later. Riitta Daughter was born in 1921.
Tallinn koliminie was an important turning point in the island AHTammsaare life: he married Käthe Weitmaniga in 1920 after a half-year partnership, which was the son Eric and daughter Riitta, and devoted himself entirely the writer's work.

Already one year later appeared in the play "Judith", which is a very good reception elbow. A year later, however, saw the light of the writer's first novel, "Farmkeeper". In this, he was examined by a pessimistic POV work and love of the Estonian village of society. These topics, he turned back several more times.

In in 1935. Appeared in the novel: "I loved the Germans' is The Island of Oak Estonian and Baltic German student girl love story. The novel highly deviated from the Prevailing Conditions at the time the Silent Era of social norms, Attracting a lively response in terms of topic selection: a Baltic-German characters, Especially in a positive way, do not come across very often in the then English Novels. Oak Island was typically Carried Out in society at the time the allegations Became critical and the appearance of Estonians in worse and more pessimistic than They really are. However, I, No One Could Deny The value of a work of art.

Since in 1939. Since the island was Oak health deteriorated significantly, he lived over maoataki. However, he continued to work, and the writer watched the sorrowing of the Estonian national destiny, as established in the Soviet bases and other maaimasõda amount of momentum.
TAMMSAARE expressed the opinion that the present situation can not be saved by none other than Estonia, Estonians themselves only to retain their language, culture and ethnicity, because otherwise they are released into the scattered grains of sand.

In 1940. 1 year The island had died at home on March oak desk behind the attack. The modest man, he was seen for the quiet funeral Forest cemetery, where the Education Minister Paul Kogermann considered only the obituary and the government placed a wreath at the sole. People from around the grief in my heart.

Toomas Nipernaadi raamatu ja filmi kokkuvõte...

Toomas Nipernaadi raamatut ma ei ole lugenud, kuigi ma sain Kadri käest raamatu siis ei suuda ma oma nina raamatusse pista ja siis seda pingsalt lugeda.
Ma küll lugesin paar lehte aga 5 minuti pärast oli see kõik meelest läinud. ( andsin alla )

Niisiis, ma lugesin klassikaaslaste kokkuvõtteid raamatus olevatest novellidest ja filmist mida vaatasime.
Tekkis väga palju arusaamatusi. Kirjeldus Nipernaadi välimusest oli päris sarnane, raamatus olevat ta jubedam välja näinud. Filmis ei olnud tal minuarust väga kõver nina ega ka armiline vms.
Mulle meeldivad filmid väga, eriti eesti filmid! Nipernaadi film meeldis mulle ka.
Raamatustest õritan võimalikult palju eemale hoida :D
Mitmes kokkuvõttes oli räägitud ahv Milo'st kes nende juurest kuskile põllule ära kadus ja kogu rahvas teda otsime läks. Filmis aga Milo oli küll kadunud nende silme alt aga muidu oli ikka nende juures (vaatas neid maja nurgast!?). Oli ka muid imelikke asju.
Filmis oli näha üksikuid loogika vigu aga kui neist mööda vaadata oli film supper.
Alles filmi lõpus sain ma Nipernaadi tegutsemisele pihta.

(on alles naistemees :D)

Endal lausa rikas naine olemas aga kui lund maas ei ole, käib tema teisi tüdrukud moosimas ja neile kärbseid pähe ajamas!

Kui me vaatasime seda filmi siis vahepeal teised kommenteerisid seda ja nagu mina aru sain, siis nad vahepeal ei saanud arugi mis novellist see koht on. Kõik jäi segaseks.
Raamatud on alati detailsemad ja rohkem läbi mõeldud, filmid tehakse rohkem kokkuvõttlikumalt ja lühemalt.
Olen eelistanud ja jään ilmselgelt ka edasi eelistama filmi raamatule!

Kokkuvõte tundide andmisest.

Lahe vaheldus :)
Esimesena andsid meile tundi Raul ja Ülo, nemad tegid Gustav Suitsust.
Nende tund oli natuke ''laiali''. Kuidagi raske on meelde jätta kui tekst ja teema kippusid arusaamatuks jääma. Nad närveerisid natuke liiga palju ja slp ma ka enam ei mäleta midagi Suitsust.
Mis ma mäletan on, et nad tegid kõigepealt esitluse ja siis lasid meil netist otsida Gustav Suitsu luuletusest ''kerkokell'' erinevaid asju. NT : mida miski tähendab ja leida sõnu mis tänapäeval enam ei kasutata. 

Järgmisena andsid tundi Henri ja Ardo, nad tegid Marie Underist.
Nende esitlus ja kogu tud üldse jäi väga kesiseks ja sellest ma vist ei mäleta üldse midagi. Tean et oli kõigepealt esitlus, ristsõna ja siis küsimused.
Ristsõna küsimusi ma ei mäleta aga teistest küsimustest oli seal nt, et MArie lapsepõlve nimi, palju oli ta emal ja tal endlal lapsi.
Underi emal oli 6 last ja tal endal 2 last.

Siis andsid tundi Hardi .H ja Alari, nende tegelaseks oli Henrik Visnapuu.
Ka nemad ei olnud just kõige meelde jäävamad. Nende esitluses oli palju juttu tema eluloo koht.
Ka neil oli ristsõna ja mitmeid küsimusi.
MA ei tea kas asi on minus aga mulle ei meenud kellegi kohta mitte midagi .

Kadri tegi Beti Alverist ja temast ma tean et ta abiellus Heiti Talvikuga ja kui Heiti Siberisse saadeti siis abiellus ta kellegi teisega.

Kadri pani kõik ilusti luuletusi lugema ja tööd tegema.

Minu ja Igemari tunnis oleks võinud asjade paigutamine teine olla. See mis tegelikult tahtsin teha, jäi pm tegematta. aga muidu oli okei.
