I'm from Reunion and have been to Mauritius quite a lot. An interesting fact is that the flight between the two "sisters" islands is proportionally to its length (merely 200km), the highest priced flight in the world (costs several hundred euros). My sister is married to a Mauritian. It's just a friendly rivalry between Reunion and Mauritius, nothing hostile btw.

The rivalry is more from the Reunion side... Because somehow there's a bit of jalousy towards Mauritius

Im half turkish half mauritian and ive always been closer to my turkish side, however i have always wanted to find out more about my mauritian heritage and the culture. Ive only been there twice when i was young but i loved it so much and created so many memories (my favourite being riding tortoises) i wish to return one day and see my family again in their own houses. Thanks for the video i learnt alot 😁

Mauritian Kreol: Mo fier de mo pays ek mo kontan noun gagne noun lindepandans English: I am proud of my country and I am happy that we got our independence.

Ah that's really cool! French is my second language and i could understand that after reading it twice. I'll bet i wouldnt understand speech so well though. Does spoken mauritian have strongly french pronunciation?

I would get Mauritius & Maldives mixed up so much. They both start with letter m. & Both are small island nations in Indian Ocean. Not any more though because I had taken to learn the difference between them 😅

Hey GN, why don't you release the Mexico episode, in Mexico's independence? Mexico's independence is on the 16th of September. (or on the 15th, whichever you prefer)

Do you live in Monaco ?

In friendzone you forgot South Africa which is its first economic partner in africa and there's a lot of (white) south africans living in mauritius You also forgot to say that le morne is a unesco world heritage and apravasee ghaat as well (which is where the engaged workers were transiting to come to mauritius)... Too bad you didn't talk about the endemic fauna as well (and the sucessfull program to save them) And i khow the name if the waterfall is victoria falls... But you have seven waterfalls (7 cascades) which are beautiful as well and you can do canyoning and there's rochester falls as well And the picture you showed for grand baie was actually the caudan waterfront in Port Louis It would have been interesting to elaborate on the chagosian people who were deported in terrible conditions by the british in order for the US to build an army base on Diego Garcia the main Island

[@sreeiop3020]

True despite being a Mauritian South Africa has help us in many ways to develop our country like antrepreneurs. Also it ia Apravasi Ghat.

And the fact that Mauritian Creole is the mother tongue and the other languages that he listed are considered fourth languages

Yea .. that original Mauritians bit was nonsense. The guy literally said he was British ... he has no say on that.

[@thisisitchief3596]

Lol it said ‘pouche’ Btw they forgot me aswell 🙃

[@9grand]

in a way , he is right , that is why they are called 'population générale ' the indians and Chinese were in fact foreigners in the 19th century. most people do not even know the origin and the real meaning of this Word.

[@adityeah3802]

a niu In a way he is wrong cause, humans settled in Mauritius only about 400 years ago. So the general population is either only twice as much 'real mauritian' as the others who came 200 years ago or nobody is a real mauritian. As for me, being someone who was born and grew up in that beautiful island, it does hurt when someone infers I am not a real mauritian because my ancestors came to this place later.

[@beautifullyhuman9707]

Namaste I'm Mauritian born in liverpool,uk. Moved to Mauritius spent my childhood there then moved to Manchester,Uk. my friends are always asking me about Mauritius. Grew up in a Hindu family. grandparents spoke bhojipuri and family spoke creole. I watched French cartoons, movies and went to a french speaking school. Watched kung fu movies with english subtitles. Already knew how to speak English. Learnt Hindi from Bollywood movies and learnt some sanskrit from Hindu prayers and family time. Well its really tricky to explain that to people and of all the different cultures and backgrounds in Mauritius and how it got discovered. pretty much everything you've covered in this video. and now I can send them this video! Merci!

@Why So Serious!!!! I understand a little but can not speak it.. sorry 😅
