I'm directing my questions to Americans who have relocated to Mauritius, since that is my current frame of reference. My husband is negotiating an employment package right now, and I have many questions.
Having lived on Saipan and in Shanghai, I know food was one of the biggest factors for my son (who was 12-13 then, 14 now). What is the availability of foods for his simple American kid's diet?
Like ground beef (hamburger), breakfast cereals, breads/hamburger buns, pasta, chicken breasts, etc.?
Are locally grown vegetables available or only imported ones?
Is there any point in shipping things like tv, playstation 3, small kitchen appliances like blender, toaster oven, foreman grill, ice tea maker, etc? In Shanghai my curling iron, etc. worked ok, but I believe the current and plugs are different in Mauritius. Will adapters allow them to work or must I buy these things locally?
Is high-speed internet REALLY high speed internet, fast enough for gaming, youtube, etc? Do any of you use Netflix?
Ok, I guess that's enough questions for now, I'd REALLY appreciate some responses from those in the know. Thanks so much!
