I've had that problem in Macau, where the North Koreans used to launder money so the casinos (among other places) are concerned about anything fraudlent. Plus, I'm sure the banks there sell more Euros than dollars due to their relationship with France and Europe vs. America.

Either way.. Nice report. This may seem like a stupid question but I've heard the people of Madagascar look fairly different when compared to the mainland of Africa, is that true? I'm not trying to be stereotypical or racist but its something I find fascinating.
