It is weird that the two parcels’ notices were sent to [...]

Need to win over the in-laws
Yesterday, I was chatting online with a Chinese friend of mine. She mentioned along the way that her husband proposed after only 10 days since their first meeting!! I was really surprised.

Arena
Just went to Arena last night (Saturday night). Arena is a nightclub that I have enjoyed going to over the last few years. Although at times not many people go there, I have always enjoyed the atmosphere and the guys in charge there.
In Mauritius, there are not many nightclubs that do well. Arena is the [...]

Porn MMS
MMS stands for MultiMedia Services, and it’s just text messages (SMS) that you send via mobile phones with pictures or movie clips attached.
Anyway, these last couple of days, there is one specific clip that has been on everyone’s lips here. A young school girl, who was not yet 16 at the time, and considered to [...]

Zee awards
Mauritius hosted the Zee awards yesterday. That’s the equivalent of Bollywood’s Oscars, Bollywood being the Indian name of its movie industry. I think it comes from shortening Bombay’s Hollywood, but I may be wrong. It was the usual posse of stars and their admirers coming to the island, and doing their best to be happy [...]
