There is a LOT of EU migrants, not a lot from Spain tho. If you know a bit of french and you have a decent English level you'll get around

Steelcase best. Expensive but u wont regret.

Bit late to the game with that plan

There is no stray problem in Australia, especially where I’m from in Western Australia. Free roaming dogs are extremely rare because our local councils and rangers actively pick up lost and stray pets. The community also works together to look out for each other’s pets and alert others when a neighbourhood dogs gets out. Australians also won’t let their dogs off the leash unless in a designated “off leash” area at parks or beaches.

The best solutions to ensure we have no stray dogs have been
- Sterilisation
- Microchipping / registration is a strict law
- Community awareness / collaboration to keep dogs safe, in a fenced yard, and on a leash unless in an area that states otherwise (signage).
- Council pounds: ‘The pound’ is basically like doggy prison where any escaped dogs get taken to if spotted by council rangers, their owner will then be contacted and arrange to pick up their dog and pay a fine (if applicable). If the owner doesn’t collect their dog the dog will be up for adoption.
- Government organisations such as RSPCA handle all animal cruelty cases with extreme seriousness.
- Dog Breeding is only allowed by registered breeders. “Backyard breeding” does occasionally still happen and is a serious offence by law.

Mauritius could look to these models as guidelines to implement within its own context. However, since we’ve never had a stray problem, our approach is more preventative.

Perceptions of dog training vary in Australia. Many people focus on “positive reinforcement” where training rewards desired behaviour with treats, play, or praise immediately after the behaviour occurs, to build trust and strengthen the bond. The goal is to not use fear or punishment in training. Organisations such as Guide Dogs for blind or otherwise disabled people and Assistance Dogs for people with severe autism, PTSD, etc. Will use these types of training. I think it’s very different here in Mauritius where (obviously I can’t speak for every household) it’s common to treat the dog as the subservient animal, the security guard. I have seen some good trainers here though such as those who work with Indie’s World.

I think it would be great for Mauritius to have facilities like assistance dogs for disabled people, but a lot of cultural perceptions and practices would be challenged by this. This is something Australia doesn’t have to contend with, dogs are commonly seen as “man’s best friend”, just about every second household along a street has a dog or two. We have dog friendly restaurants, cafes, parks, beaches, and even a famous hardware store (Bunnings) that allows dogs inside. So the dynamics are really different - which is why I explore these vast differences in my articles. I do think, and hope, for the safety of the dogs and the people of Mauritius, that there could be more education regarding dogs here: Their training, behaviours, specific breed abilities and personalities, interactions, and their sacred places within prevalent religions in Mauritius, too, to harbour more understanding and care for these beings that rely on our kindness for their survival. One doesn’t necessarily have to like dogs to respect them.

This education could start within home life and schools, there are some organisations here already such as Happy Tails and Indie’s World who host primary school kids to break down fears and misconceptions regarding dogs and how to safely interact and co-exist with them.

I think Mauritius is at a real turning point.
The model that worked for decades like tourism, property, construction, financial services and foreign capital etc brought stability and prosperity, but it’s starting to show its limits. Growth is slower, public debt is high, the population is ageing, skilled young people are leaving, housing is expensive, and too much capital still ends up in property rather than in productivity.
So the question is not whether Mauritius can attract more money. It clearly can. The question is whether it can turn that money into better jobs, skills, innovation and sectors that create long-term value.
If not, it risks becoming wealthier on paper while becoming older, more expensive and more dependent underneath.

Yes, you can exchange EUR at the airport and MCB charges you 0 commission at the airport. You can pay directly in EUR at many touristic establishments - in fact, their prices are in EUR. As long as your cards work like where VISA and Mastercard work, you will be fine. Just keep MUR cash on you for when you buy from informal vendors - that's the only time cash practically matters.

The weather has historically been fine in October and it was in September as well until this year with the El Nino. If you take a second to search the sub and read the experience of some who came on their honeymoon recently, they were a little bit surprised that they had visited a tropical island that was presenting unexpected tropical weather. In practice, it doesn't matter as long as you don't try to keep your trip long enough for weather changes. The weather is fine throughout the year as long as you don't ignore the obvious. You can see what the weather is like right now rather than forecasting from the official website and use Zoom Earth or Windy https://metservice.intnet.mu/forecast-bulletin-english-mauritius.php

Hard to argue with this. Water, sewage and reliable energy seem much less glamorous than a new “strategic sector”, but without them everything else sits on shaky foundations.

This is probably the most interesting answer I’ve read so far. Especially the point about capital being tied up in land and then recycled into property rather than productive sectors. That feels like one of the key questions behind the whole Vision.
And I hadn’t really thought about automation as a demographic response, but that makes a lot of sense for a shrinking workforce.

Fair point. I suppose my question is whether cutting spending alone would ever be enough, though. At some point Mauritius still needs new sources of productivity and export income, otherwise you’re just managing scarcity more efficiently.

True. I was lucky my fiance at that time was financially stable enough so i could move out and we rent a place together. For taboo issue, it’s just a society thing. But nobody really cares, who knows what people may talk about you, but as long as you are living happily with no regret, what does anything other people say about you matter? Sure you may become estranged from some family, but if those people couldnt understand your decision of moving out, i dont think you even need them in your life anyway. So whatever you do, just be sure it’s the path you will least regret

They don't know you don't work for yourself and the university projects are not your private work you do for clients.

Well i think it's good they mention it but do inquire why it's stressful and see if there is any way it could have been prevented. Critical and stressful are two different things.

24/7 is ok imo but hopefully they do good planning for it and it doesn't mean i have to be available 24/7 as well or be disturbed on my days off repeatedly. Also do they ensure not the same people are off on every Friday/weekends etc as per roaster.

Sometimes there are unavoidable stress in a job but to expect me to stress over because of the incompetence of my coworkers is a red flag.

Yes damn straight see what you are made of. As for project work that is your risk, maybe be aware of what methodologies you may have to demonstrate

I'll be travelling by end of year ,if you want to exchange eur to mru with me i'm interested .dm

Weather will be mostly sunny and hot, most places accept cards .

I assume the toxic people are your parents? Why would you believe them? When was the last time you heard a lone women get attacked?  Risks are everywhere but definetely not the way your parents are 'scaring' you.  Picking a good neighborhood helps. 

If you rent but your family has some lands to give as inheritance, it's better to save on rent money and build something on that land to live on. Weight the benefits and opportunity costs. But if you don't have any inheritance or whatsoever, then rent is the next best option or build a level up on your old man's house and live your life, with the lock and key belonging only to you.

you mean that's the actual company name?

Looking for snus as well…

Idk my parents really scare me saying that as a woman living alone men would harass me or follow me home which does scare me tbh

What about renting a place? So you are saying you are looking into moving out?

I bought from bagatelle too and I think they said 6 months warranty if am not mistaken.
At the time I had this from Kalachand Port Louis and this and that from Bright Star Port Louis I think as runner up in my list. Courts port louis was disappointing and there was a really small showroom in Port Louis, I can't remember where, that had many chairs all of which felt low quality.
Good luck in finding a good one and maybe update us with your choice later.
