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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Am I blind ? Not even a short apology on Orange.mu as if it never happened? Will they give a 100rs discount to all the companies on the next bill in order to compensate the financial loss ... Read More

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

A troll, who should not be given any further entertainment. Read More

Evian, the rusty Kreole should be no problem at all, but be prepared for some jokes at your expense. A further word of advice, when Mauritians try teaching you new words, never blindly accept the definitions that they give ;) It really does help to ... Read More

For what it's worth, I'm not aware of many Objective-C developers here. That might be a good thing. The iPhone, while popular, is out of the reach of most, and given the technology development here in Mauritius, that probably means there's not ... Read More

If I understand well, that implies that if you married a Mauritian woman then your children will definitely have access to Mauritian Passport, and probably The husband will have access to Mauritian Citizenship...Right???Yes, however your ... Read More

I think others would be in a better position to answer this. I do know that there is a big push towards medical tourism, so there are probably opportunities in this domain. Might be best to create a new topic with a suitable subject to attract ... Read More

Claire, This is not a definitive answer, for that you should contact the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). As far as I am aware, the PMO is responsible for these matters. I acquired Mauritian nationality by descent (from my father, as at the time it ... Read More

For the most part, I agree with External and Burkoma. For those who attend elite state or private schools, there are few, if any, obstacles to a child realising his or her full potential. Those who opt out of the state system do so for a wide ... Read More

BTW: I am not a gaming expert but lottery PoS terminals are far from being just a a simple cash register which is hooked up with a telephone lineIndeed. The trouble is that you can't "see" and feel software. People don't realise how much effort ... Read More

No this island is very unstable. You cannot trust anyone, not even security guards. I have been witness of robberies where guards where involved. I have build a house there in view of spending my old days in this island. I have changed my mind ... Read More

I actually just made a 3-minute film connecting water issues and climate change in Mauritius... it also has to be managed correctly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQIi7HJdnU8Excellent video and interesting to hear the thoughts of the legendary, Sok ... Read More

http://lexpress.mu/story/18149-penurie-d-eau-aides-aux-familles-demunies-pour-l-achat-d-un-reservoir.html Some improvements seem to potentially be on the way sometime soon-ish. Hopefully in time for the Plaines Wilhems sewer system so that it has ... Read More

When will you people in Rose Hill learn how to vote! :P If it helps, there are problems in areas which returned three Alliance De L'Avenir candidates. I was chatting to a relative in the south only the day who was complaining about both the ... Read More

I've heard that it's very advanced from an IT standpoint - are all of you expats out there on super fast internet connections? :)No not super fast, but given the context (island nation, 1m population, etc), it could be worse. It will improve. It's ... Read More

I heard a while ago of a match between Indian and Australian expats, but other than that, I'm not aware of any cricket taking place on the island. Given the increase in South Africans and Indians living on the island, perhaps this will change soon. Read More

Kreole is not a difficult language to learn to speak, but it is difficult to write. Although there have been attempts to define a grammar, there is no agreed orthography and it is still a very ad-hoc language. Some write in Kreole with French ... Read More

Ah, expat-Mauritians, I'll need to modify my comments appropriately then. :) I'm certainly surprised that they found the experience acceptable, however I am also glad that my opinions are perhaps not representative of the situation as a whole. One ... Read More

I think everyone here is very healthy ;) My own experience in the context of visiting relatives in hospitals is that the private services are much better than those provided by the state. I think you almost entirely answered your question though, ... Read More

DodoDave, I've not tried the service so I can't vouch for it and DHL always seem to be a little late when I use them, but there is the DHL Easy Shop service: ... Read More

A government apologist, no definitely not, but I am fully aware of the wonderful legacy left by the British in 1968. Of course, as a Mauritian I am deeply proud of what has been achieved in such a short time from such a desperate position. Our ... Read More

Mauritius received a line of credit from the Indian government for the construction of the Cyber City at Ebene. The project was then implemented by Indians in the main to the best of my knowledge, so to say the government had significant sums of ... Read More

I buy SKC Surat when in Mauritius, but it still doesn't quite taste as good as the milk in the UK. I must try Orlait next time I am there. Read More

When I was taking taxis from the airport, I was paying Rs900 to Quatre Bornes, but a tourist should expect to pay double the local rate. If you end up paying around Rs1200-1500 you have done well. If staying at a hotel, ask for a transfer. Read More
