Driving in Mauritius by Maximilien

Hi, What do you think of the way people drive in Mauritius? How different is it from your home country? Respecting the road safety rules, driving etiquette such as general courtesy, speed excessÂ… what are the characteristics of the driving ...

Courtney

Meant to add...in order to drive safely in Mauritius my tips would be: 1. Take your time. 2. If (WHEN!) someone wants to overtake, just slow down and let them do it. It's not worth putting yourself and others in harms way when someone chooses ... Read More

I've travelled all over this planet and never experienced anything like the driving in Mauritius. It is so sad and terribly scary. Until the police actually enforce the rules of the road (and hand out fines that really hit the pocketbook) and ... Read More

Courtney

Hi Justin, I think it can be a little tricky finding a teaching job as an °µÍø½ûÇø here in Mauritius. I believe the school must first prove that the position is one that has been offered to Mauritians first. If the position is very specific and it ... Read More

conversion of work permit to permanent residence after three years by tomarm

Hi, has anyone successfully done the below ? and managed to buy NON IRS / RES house after three years ? lifted the below from the BOI - assume you need tax return data to prove earnings but it could work for me and I was curious to know if anyone ...

Courtney

Hi there! This is exactly the information I was looking for! I was wondering about the possibility of purchasing a non-RES/IRS as I don't think those will fit our budgetÂ…unless we win the lottery! Haaa!!! However, we don't want to live in an ... Read More

Hi any Clavis parents by lne1

Hi guys, My kids have just started at Clavis. They seem to be enjoying it so far. Would like to know any other new or old parents who have children at Clavis and hopefully organise a gathering. What are your views as well about the school? Thanks

Courtney

Hi Ivan, It sounds like your eldest daughter could do one year at Clavis (Primary Years--PYP--IB program) and then head to Le Bocage for the Middle Years Program--MYP and Diploma--DP IB program (down the road from Clavis). This would be one ... Read More

Hi Tom, I agree with your opinion of the website! Hoping they will address that soon. ;) Yes, there is a school bus from Tamarin to Moka and back. My husband works just down the street from Clavis, so he takes our son in the mornings. It takes ... Read More

Hi Gidion, I think IPS is also a very good school. It is my understanding their head is PYP trained and implements a lot of the IB philosophy in their school/curriculum. IPS is very close to Northfields, so would probably make sense if you are ... Read More

Hi Gidion, We have attended a couple of functions at Alexandra House (school plays, etc) and really, really enjoyed them! I can't say much more than that as I honestly do not know. I do think Alexandra House has a good reputation here. :) As ... Read More

Roti, Dholl Puri, or Farata?! by CourtinUSVI

Okay, we've been here an entire year now and I'm a bit ashamed to admit I continue to be 100% confused by the difference between these three! I LOVE to eat them, but never sure which one I am ordering. I think one might have a more "floury" kind ...

Thanks so much to everyone for the replies and PM's!! What fun to read them all! :) And to add to my list, I was in PL today and tried a TI PURI!! (Spelling?!) It was amazing as well! Yummmmmy! ;) Read More
