Greetings,
Any NT or anyone from Mauritius? I'm planning to go for a trip, might possible to meetup designers, artist or graffiti artist. How's the design scene over there? Like the environment :)
Thanks guys. Really appreciate it.

Nope but I visited when I lived in Southern Africa. Just off the coast of Madagascar.
Port Louis is nice!!!

It's like being in the Carribean or Africa. French speaking/Creole style. Nice food, women, weather, etc. Strange place on the planet. Took a vacation and when to Mocambique, Madagascar and Mauritius. Back when US Dollar stretched, can't do it today that easily.
I wouldn't go there thinking about it being som artsy place though. You'll find the occasional street artist, but it's more or less a holiday destination, but they have a pretty good economy and are politically stable. The scuba and snorkeling is unbelievable. Fishing is awesome too and not many sharks. White sand beaches, warm crystal clear water and green, green trees. They've got great atheletes too.

Ehhhh... design scene? what type dude, it ain't that type of place man in comparison.
Although, it has been getting a lot of press as it stepped up it's technology initiatives. But I have a feeling that's for more back-end/server admin style work. I do remember students from mainland Africa going there to study and such on what they call bursaries (scholarships).

that's right jevad, you went there, yup, bad-ass. don't remember there being too much of a surf though.

Not when we were there - believe me I looked - but i got to talking to some local surfers and they said a swell was headed in our last day there and told us how to get to the point.
SHo nuff the morning before we left there was a fantastic left hander reef break firing at 6 - 8ft

Jevad,
i was looking for a photo gallery of one NT who been there, now i remember that Jevad was the one. I think it was like 2 years back right? Thanks for sharin' dude.JazX, the way you describe it it's like, I'm tempted to go there!

You'd fit in well, in my opinion. Many ethnicities are running around that place.

If i was young, free, and single again I would definately try and go work somewhere like mauritius, maldives, la reunion...somewhere tropical and fantastic like that....
- JazX0
Maldives, man that's small as h*ll, you'd go apesh*t from island fever. Reunion Island is quite nice from what I hear. Ehhhh.... you know what brothers, the grass is always greener on the other side.
You can always go to Hawaii or the US Virgin Islands if you're American. Nothing wrong with those places at all. Beauties!
