Changes

The Betsileo culture is similar to their Merina neighbours. The Betsileo are reputedly the best farmers in Madagascar and therefore well known for their very good knowledge of rice cultivation. Irrigated, terraced rice paddies are characteristic scenery around Betsileo villages. Men are traditionally wrapped in colourful blankets, women have often shiny gold teeth and single . Single boys will put a comb and single girls many hair clips in their hair to inform that they are looking for a wifepartner.  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-right:10px;"><tr><td valign="top">[[Image:Betsileo_02.jpg|189px|none|thumb|Betsileo woman with shiny gold teeth (right)]]</td><td valign="top">[[Image:Betsileo_03.jpg|189px|none|thumb|Betsileo woman with colourful hair clips]]</td><td valign="top">[[Image:Betsileo_04. jpg|189px|none|thumb|Young farmers on the way to their field]]</td></tr></table>
