March 29 is Memorial Day in Madagascar

Listen to the podcast!

Today we are exploring Madagascar, which is the fourth largest island in the world.

It's located in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Africa.

The capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo.

There are about eighteen million people in Madagascar.

In Madagascar, the languages Malagasy and French are spoken.

Many people in Madagascar eat rice for every single meal. I like rice, but imagine eating it for breakfast! That would be a little too much, I think!

Madagascar has a very warm, tropical climate. It would be a paradise to visit, although there are frequent storms; often no one can tell if a storm's coming or not.
