Art supplies & professional printing services in Mauritius by Namarie
Hello to you all! As I am preparing to move to Mauritius I need to find out if there are Art supplies & professional printing services, also how fast and stable the internet is, for online teaching for example? Hope somebody knows and can ...

Hi Namarie - as far as art supplies go, I suggest bringing as much of it with you as you can, and being prepared to top up your stock whenever you go overseas as the product choices are very limited here. These are the two main art supply ... Read More



TV Repair by VeroniqueL
Does anyone know of a good TV repairer in the North - I didn't buy my TV here so can't go back to the shop. Thanks in advance.

Haha! Well Doctor, your patient is a bit big and cumbersome for me to bring to you - are you able to make a house-call, and open it up here for a look? If so, I'll send you my phone number and address by PM. I live in Trou aux Biches - I'm ... Read More

Hi Veekram Thanks for replying so quickly. Its a Panasonic plasma, model # TH-P42G10A, and is about 10 years old. It turned itself off after a few seconds and the red light flashed 11 times, then stopped. (I'm not weirdly observant - I ... Read More

Volunteering in Mauritius by Maximilien
Hi, While living abroad, some °µÍø½ûÇøs wish to get involved in the local community life. What organizations °µÍø½ûÇøs can turn to if they want to volunteer in Mauritius? How to join a charitable institution, what are the steps? Which causes ...

Hi Gabby I'm getting there - it's been a long road! I've recently come back from overseas, so am getting myself organised - so far, I'm busy on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and am planning to do an art course - no idea yet what day. I ... Read More

Hi Gabby The garden project sounds right up my alley! I assume that it's in Tamarin? I live in the North, so would only drive down once a week - what days do you all work? Please let me know the relevant details. Regards Veronique PS Are you the ... Read More

We live in The North - never used Green Cross (but might try them some time - though no-one we've asked has ever recommended them so far). We've tried two: Hans Biomedical Lab Ltd - don't bother - went for full blood tests, needed to go back two ... Read More


What to bring when moving to Mauritius? by jamboree
Hello, soon moving to Mauritius, settling for 4 years with family. I have been advised to bring small kitchen electrical appliances with me because they are apparently difficult to find and bad quality in Mauritius. Is this true? What about ...

I agree with everyone else - if you're in decent rental accomodation, everything will be provided. We moved here (permanently) and once we started looking around, realised we should have paid the freight to bring all of our stuff, instead of ... Read More


Concerning Creole by hemsat
Hello guys! I'm new to the forum so nice to meet you all :D I was wondering for any long term °µÍø½ûÇøs, if anyone had found an effective way of learning creole (short of learning once in the country)? My dad is Mauritian but I grew up in ...

Peaches, I have to agree with you on that one. My parents are Mauritian, but I was born and raised overseas, so can't speak Creole. The cheating Mauritians (fortunately they are not in the majority) can see me coming a mile off. Even if I were to ... Read More


Has anyone brought cats from the US? Help! by Mistyb
Hello, Has anyone brought cats from the US? How much time in total does it take for all paperwork? Most importantly, exactly what shots and tests are needed?

Hi again Misty Sorry for the delay - that paperwork was hard to track down. As I said, this was over 5 years ago, so things might have changed. We had to have our cat: - microchipped - vaccinated against feline enteritis, rhinotracheitis and ... Read More

Hi all, we have. Some friends coming to Mauritius in January to decide if they would like to live here. They want to look at different parts of the island and are available to house / animal sit for 1 week or up to 2 months. They are professional ...

That'd be great - I'll send my contact details to your inbox. Might have to be in a couple of weeks though, as I'm still recovering from what I think was a mild case of chikungunya, and so am lazing around the house a fair bit! Meanwhile, I've ... Read More
