OCI in reality..... by DRMT

Hi I am a UK National with no Indian heritage (although I work there a fair bit) and my wife is eligible for an OCI card. Once she has obtained this, I intend to do the same based upon our 20 years of marriage. I am well aware of the generic ...

@RaniR Hey Rani, I'm in pretty much the exact same situation like you, nomad living in India with an OCI and trying to get an Aadhar card. Would love to know how it went for you. Read More

Tech support on the island by tashwilmot

Hi Odd question, I have to purchase a new lap top before I relocate to the island. Before I do I would like to find out what tech are supported / repaired / spares on the island. For PC not Apple. Dell or Acer or HP or ? Thank you Natasha

Ashtangi

Hi Natasha, I can definitely recommend Fjariltech (https://www.fjariltech.com). They are the distributor of many brands on the island. Their prices are the most competitive I have found so far and their after sale service top notch. I've ... Read More

VPN in Mauritius by Qb2015

Does anybody use a VPN in Mauritius to connect to BBc Iplayer & ITV Player? If so,which one do you have? I have Mauritius Telecoms 20 Mbps service but recently am only getting 2Mbps when using my current VPN.

Ashtangi

Hi there, If you are looking for a VPN just to watch movies and not necessarily for full cyber security, I would recommend using Opera browser instead of Chrome or any other browser. Opera has a free integrated VPN in it and so far has worked ... Read More

Can only confirm what Taps wrote. We haven't had a shark attack for decades here in Mauritius but true that the situation in Reunion is slightly different. Reef sharks are more common here but unlike their cousin the bull shark, they are not ... Read More

Khmer women and beards/mustaches by madmax888

Khmer women out there - how do you feel about kissing a man with a beard or mustache? My wife doesn't like it, she says it tickles her neck. She asked me to shave it off. I have had a beard for 40+ years, only shaved it off once, and my kids ( ...

Ashtangi

You seem like a man who really loves his wife. I think it is very nice from your part to consider shaving your beard. My personal advice ( coming from a guy with a manly full beard I have been sporting for years ), DO NOT SHAVE, unless it is your ... Read More
