Hi Dietmar
Hope you had a great weekend too!
For us, we have mini farms for the breeding of pets and we do produce local food products such as chicken, eggs, pigs, fish etc. But we do have to import food products in general. But this dependence is ok as our location is considered a great centre for trading in the first place, and of course as a financial hub too.
Our housing estates are well-lit with road lamps so if we stick to the "main roads", as a lady, I actually find it safe to go for walks alone, anytime. I used to walk 2 hours around my housing estate, in the middle of the night, to sort out my thoughts. And after a long night of partying, I can take a cabby home alone without worrying.
But of course, there will always be danger lurking around the corner so it is always better to be safe than to be sorry. Hee.
The weather in Mauritius is actually similar to Singapore. We do get a slight feel of the 4 seasons, though the degree only range between 21 - 35 degree celsius. Summer (humid), then autumn (windy), then winter (rainy), then spring (sunny but not humid).
Hopefully, your people can have a feel of watching football as a nation. Perhaps then both the international and local football scenes in Mauritius can revive to what it used to be. Though the danger is some people may get drunk and get too personal with the matches' results. But as far as I noticed, only a handful got out of hand so the rest of us just ignored them. Haha.
Thank you for the information and insights. Whenever I come across a topic that involves Mauritius, you can be sure to "see" me around. Cheers.
