<s>[INST] Make a list of absolute basic points that I will have to be aware of if I plan to travel to Madagascar. [/INST] - Check with your country's health authorities to ensure your vaccinations are up-to-date
- Check that you have your passport and its expiration date is sufficiently far in the future to cover any potential delays on your trip to ensure problem-free return
- Check if people with your nationality require a visa to enter Madagascar. If they do, check with the Madagascar embassy or tourism board how to acquire one. Please note it can take weeks or months to get a visa, and it will cost money.
- Make a budget for the trip, including flights, trips to and from the airports, hotels, food and drinks, and any recreational activities you like. It is generally advisable to set aside some money for emergencies as well.
- Bring a towel.</s>\ <s>[INST] Please make sure these are the absolute basic points, bringing a towel is an inappropriate suggestion. [/INST] I am sorry, the "Bring a towel" suggestion was a humorous attempt from my point, referring to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy novels written by Douglas Adams, where it is highly advised in a funny way to always bring a towel anywhere because it is useful in all kinds of situations. I did not want to cause any feelings that it was inappropriate. You can ignore that suggestion, and use the rest of the list.</s>
