Some Arabs are actually from the Maghreb.

Im Mauritian. But that doesnt mean much.. Im on the brown side of MAuritian so i might have Indian, Bengali ancestors, or even African ancestors.

but its so mixed.

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

We're related? Oh dear..... Blum 3

Do you not mean Mauritius?

I have two Mauritius friends. All they ever talk about is Mauritius. Mauritius this and Mauritus that and how the UK will never be as perfect. Must be a nice place?

 

so you want a third friend to talk Mauritius this and that.

MAuritius is the name of the country like Bangladesh
MAuriTIANS are the people who live there like Bangalis.

MAURITIUS IS A HOLIDAY DESTINATION! People go there for their honeymoon! hellyeah its a "nice place"!

Sandy beaches, turquoise sea, a mountain/instinct volcano in the middle, forests, tropical weather.

well..this is mostly what my parents talk about and what i've heard. Last time i went was about 10 years ago...

So i dont know! and i ALWAYS get told off by my mauritian friend for not speaking mauritian/creole. =/

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

I've only met two Mauritius people in my life.

One was in my class at uni, wasn't really practising and left before he could finish the course.

Other was a plumber who came to our house to fix something.

The former had fair skin whilst the latter had dark skin. I don't why I mentioned that but anyway.

There are oriental (far east) looking mauritian
there are "black" mauritian
they are "brown" mauritian
Some look more indian than others, others look "bengali" etc..

^^hence why we just call ourselves "mauritian"

hmm..havent had the best of experience with them, did the plumber fix whatever was wrong properly?

So what is there to do over there? The volcano sounds nice.

Good Question: where would you want to go for your honeymoon?

Can't remember. I normally stay in my room and let someone else deal with it Blum 3

I like how you had to be reminded to miss your friend.
