Hi everyone, I've been back to Mauritius for almost six years and I'm just wondering what do the expats in Mauritius do for nightlife. I know the usual nightclubs, bars & pubs, but I don't think it's for everyone and I'm thinking some variety ...

richdaddy

Wishful thinking... it works in China or the US but not here. One of my friends opened Chiken Licken couple of years ago, closed down because of staff abuse on the inventory. Look at MDFP, that's the classic perfect exmaple of what many other abuses ... Read More
