Hi, After exploring the positive aspects of living in Mauritius last week, we invite you in Weekly Magazine to discover the 5 good reasons for not choosing to live here ;). What about you: what would be your good reason for not choosing to live ...
Candycandy you are right. Mauritius is a small paradise compared to some places! Stop the concrete jungle, raise salaries and look after animals!Sorry, I'm a little confused, how do we create jobs without construction? Here's the thing that ... Read More
IT Industry In Mauritius by mtianInOz
Howdy I'm a Mauritian Citizen now living in Melbourne (now Australian Citizen). I have worked for a number of IT companies in Australia such as InfoSys, Capgemini, The Big four banks (ANZ, Westpac, CBA, NAB) and other smaller/private companies. I ...
Software development positions tend to be either .Net or Java based. You'll also find plenty of Project Manager positions around too. As for the state of the industry, there is a skills shortage, but there are caveats: you really can be ... 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 暗网禁区s, 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 ...
Why do you need to learn it? I am a British Mauritian living in Mauritius and no-one speaks creole here anymore, just Fench.No-one? So you believe that not one individual on the island speaks creole? I agree it's not necessary to learn, but ... Read More
Mauritius and Reunion Travel Safety for Women by dsmith3108
Greetings, My (white, American) 14 year old daughter is traveling to Mauritius and Reunion this summer with her only her mother (also white American). They are fairly cautious and experienced travelers, but I am concerned about assault and would ...
As a (brown, Mauritian) male of 31 years of age, I can honestly say that Mauritian men prefer to murder, rape, and steal from women who are Mauritian and usually related or acquaintances. They tend not to go for women (white) as they tend to be ... Read More
Re: Nervous about move to Mauritius by lne1
Hi, I am British/Mauritian and my husband Mauritian. We are considering moving to to Mauritius and trying it again (tried a few years ago and ran after 10 months !!!) but we kinda regret that now. Any advice on how to make it work. Heard the first ...
Tried and hated it. Like many other British Mauritians, I'll try again and fail again. As a friend told me, Mauritians are always in a state of returning back. I don't think you need my advice on what the pitfalls are, as you've been there ... Read More
Break-Ins by CourtinUSVI
Hello! We will be moving to Mauritius in August. Recently, I ran across a very frank conversation on the forum regarding safety on the island. I was under the impression that Mauritius was a much safer island than the one where we currently live. ...
Crime is very much a Mauritian problem, by that I mean it rarely affects foreigners. Typically, the victim knows the attacker and is more often than not related. Mauritius isn't one of those places where it is common for someone to ... Read More

Hi there... I'm planning on moving to Mauritius in the near future. I'd like to know some general information about internet access. 1. Is WiFi Internet connections widely available at cafe's, hotels, restaurants, etc? 2. What is the general ...
Cool, excellent post by a mauritian native i suppose !! Didn't know that there was HSDPA in Mauritius but the 384 kbps speed is still low for someone who has been surfing at 10 Mbps in Europe. Lowest was 2 mbps in a french village. I would rather ... Read More

1. Is WiFi Internet connections widely available at cafe's, hotels, restaurants, etc?Not particularly. Cities are very sparely populated with open-access WiFi. You would be better off ensuring you have HSDPA service package. 2. What is the ... Read More
Beach boys! by linapascal
Good afternoon! I would like to know if anyone have had any experience of interacting with beach boys in Mauritius. Have a young man ever approached you on the beach and started to flirt with you and give you compliments, and later on suggested ...
External +1 just to let you know, every 3 months we've got someone with an Australian IP "trolling" on many threads, until we detect him and block the account. I wonder why that person is doing this again and again ...His/her posts were only in ... Read More
Over usage of Round-Up herbicide = Surge of cancer rate in Mauritius? by Aldeb@ran
I am sure most Mauritians have heard of Round-Up. For those who haven't, Round-Up is a very well known herbicide which is widely used in the Sugar plantations. It is a very powerful weed killer but its lethal side effects are little known among ...
Will our government do something about it?No, of course not. However, you would need more than government statistics to prove a link. I don't know of an independent body that collects such data in Mauritius. In fact we are far behind the rest of ... Read More
Taxis in Mauritius by IrishWildGeese
Hi All, I was just wondering if it is generally easy to get taxis late at night in Mauritius. More specifically after a night out in Flic en Flac would it be relatively easy to get a taxi to Tamarin? If anyone has a rough estimated cost for such a ...
Expensive. For what it's worth, I pay Rs 1000 from the Airport to Quatre Bornes. Read More

Conface, the crime has dropped a little since the police installed a Bat-Signal. It's not quite Gotham City in Mauritius yet. Read More

BBC-Iview , UK or US TV in mauritius by nantube
Hi, I've been trying to get live TV streams from US/UK without the poor and ridiculously expensive satellite providers in Mauritius. I was just wondering, has anyone tried any IPTV Setup Boxes or the SlingBox in Mauritius. It seems you can get ...
One possibility is to access to a unix shell with SSH running located in the UK. SSH to the server and configure port forwarding in the options. I've had no issues using Witopia VPN, but there's no guarantee that the service will always work, and I ... Read More
