Back in September 2012, I wrote an article to share my knowledge about important information related to getting married in Mauritius, in an aim of helping other Mauritians to find answers to their questions. Earlier this morning, I had the thought of extending this idea into a series of "Parenthood" blog posts. So, let's see how it goes... Continue Reading →
I survived the post-rainfalls traffic jam, again.
After the flash flood of March 2013 and the terrific torrential rainfalls during the past couple of months, it's a hell every time it rains heavily in Mauritius.

The first socio-cultural group ( or whatever they call themselves ) has finally held their press-conference to congratulate the new government while strongly criticising the previous government which they used to venerate.

A 5 digits postal code for every Mauritian
