Madagascar (March, 2010) – Having arrived in the middle of nowhere; the train halted, unable to traverse any further due to damage to the tracks ahead from the cyclone earlier in the month. My companions went in search of lodgings for the night; while I followed the boisterous cheering sounds, further up a little hillside. My little jaunt led me to a small group of boys playing foosball. Upon getting closer I noticed one of the boys holding a long thin stick with a small creature on it. To my surprise he had in his possession a golden mouse lemur. It was evident that his pet needed to be kept close, having use of one hand did not seem to deter him from playing in what appeared to be the season's championship match.
