Mauritius is too small, esp the sino-Mauritian community. Everyone knows each other. @ waz, yeah . one thing I like about being overseas is that I ‘can blend in the crowd’.

But then again, there's this old lady living across the street and she knows everything about everyone. Veille zafer dimoune ek faire palabs! :laughing: Sometimes I would see her sitting on her balcony and watching everyone as if waiting for something to happen. I remember she used to scare me when I was a kid. My friend said she was crazy. Lol I know most of my neighbors and I would smile at them and say hello when I meet them on the street.

You rarely see your neighbours and don't want you or them to mess into their/your affairs. Oh dear! here in Mauritius probably your neighbours know more about you than you know about them :D
