Madagascar (March, 2010) – The train stopped numerous times while aboard the "jungle express" chuga-chuga choo-chooing through several small enclaves, some barely large enough to be called villages. Each time the train halted, merchants would approach with local fare: mysterious fruits, mystery meat jerky, sugary fried beignets, steamed taro cakes in banana leaves and of course bananas of all shapes, sizes and colours.
