Maybe it’s being in Madagascar where the postal service is anything but reliable. Where you have to pay the post office in order to pick up packages, where there isn’t a neighborhood mailman, where things take a month to get across the ocean, where mail often gets lost…
but I think that Amazon shipping is amazing. I ordered a few Christmas gifts yesterday, and they will be arriving on Patrick’s doorstep today. And that was the free Super Saver shipping (which it says takes 5-9 days). As much as I think work and rules are extremely over emphasized in American culture… this is an example of American efficiency at it’s best. Wow.

oh mon dieu… merci bcp d’avoir me passé cet article. c’est choquant (orthographe?), et c’est sur que je vais le ‘blogger’ pour diffuser l’information. c’est étonnant qu’une nation peuvent exploité presque la plus pauvre nation du monde, qui a un niveau de sécurité alimentaire très bas pour sa propre sécurité alimentaire…et que l’état malgache est d’accord. merci encore pour l’information….
au niveau de mon vol de retour, malheuresement je vais passer par l’afrique du sud, avec une correspondance en allemange. mais, la prochaine fois que je vais à Paris, je vais te prevenir!
