What do you like best about your country?

I live on an island and we have such sandy beaches around the island. Do come over here and i will show you around :p

@Nawsheen I wish I could. That would be wonderful.

Thank you

@HAPPSINGH Why?

@Nawsheen I hope so. I would love to meet a fellow mylotter in real too.

Yes all this seems to be nice. I hope that I get to visit your country one day

Thanks for sharing. What are some of the local delicacies (the food) from your country?

We never used to get flooding over here. Climatic change and increase in construction has led to frequent flooding. Some have even lost their lives. We have a dormant volcano over there. The day it becomes angry it will be disastrous

@sprite1950 It has been dormant for many years now but it can erupt at any time

@Nawsheen That sounds frightening. Has it ever erupted?

Yes and ever since I joined mylot I learnt so much on different countries/cultures

@JimBo452020

@Nawsheen Yes I think that we all do that

And I would love to visit India one day. There is so much to learn over there. From the history to the cultures and traditions. India is a very rich country

Yeah i just love to be at the beach. Anyway where are you from?

@averygirl72 ah nice.

@Nawsheen Philippines

Mauritius is an island located in indian ocean and it is a bit near South Africa. My country is recognised in many places of the world for its great sandy beaches, hotels and the local foods too. It is a multi racial and democratic country.

@IreneVincent the national language is English but our mother tongue is the mauritian creole. Basically the composition of the population is : 1. We have the europeans and their ancestors are from france and the UK 2. We have the chinese and their ancestors from china 3. And we have the general population and most of their ancestors are from africa 4. we have hindus and muslims whose ancestors mostly came from different parts of india So we speak other languages too like french, hindi and some of chinese they speak their chinese. Due the growing number of tourists over here and the expansion of the tourism industry many people are learning other languages like spanish, german and itaian. I would love to have you around. Would have enjoyed to act like a guide.

@Nawsheen Thank you for that information. I did locate Mauritius on the map. I have done a lot of traveling but not in your direction. Mostly to Europe and the Far East and in 45 of the U.S. states, including Alaska and Hawaii. I enjoy learning about other countries and would love to be able to visit your island, but I doubt if I ever will. I'm older now and have a few health issues. So, I have to be an "armchair" traveler now. What is the National language spoken in Mauritius?

Yeah India is definitely a rich country in terms of its cultures and traditions. I will definitely visit your country one day. Thanks for sharing

@ichchhe_mrityu sure. Will keep u informed

@Nawsheen You are always welcome.. let me know if you have any plan in near future.

Thanks. Oh yes history is definitely important.

@Nawsheen yeah :)

Thank you

One of the best beaches in my country

You will love it

I would love to visit the united states one day. To learn about the culture and its people

Yes freedom is very important. Even my country is a democratic one. I think democracy is good for each and everyone

Great. I love the beaches in my country too.

Thats nice. Thanks for sharing

I am from Mauritius. It is an island in the Indian Ocean and it is a bit close to South Africa. Spending time on the beach is so relaxing.

I love beaches too...
