Hi there,
I've just coming back from Mauritius after 2 weeks of holidays.
I just wanted to leave some comments to advice/help who is looking for informations.
I've found the island beautiful, the people (most the creole population) very helpful, smiling and friendly.
The traffic is really dangerous, as teh most of african countries there is no control on circulation , we've rent a car for some days and is very anxiogen to drive in the small towns and Port Louis of course!!!
The cost of living is higer than what we thought, but what makes the difference is often the fact that you are an euoropean, if you pay 100 a mauritian will pay 30! To save money you need to go around and find accomodation, car to rent, food and everything with a mauritian.
We've have had some bad news regarding our plan for moving there, both the internet cafè project and the self employed idea of my partner are too low budget and won't reach the turnover requested from the government.
We'll wait for october, when the 3 years of the recent law will be finished and let's see how they'll act with whom don't reach the turnover.
What else saying...I'm not capable to live yet in italy, as I've come back I'm missing so much Mauritian lifestyle...I really hope to be able to moving there...but we need a new succesfull idea.
Love,
Rain
