End of year holiday in Mauritius

Mauritius, a country consists of Mauritius Island and Rodrigues Island , a cosmopolitan country  where you find multi-culture. And you may hear several languages spoken, for instance English, French, Creole, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil and Bhojpuri. Strange as it seem but it is a beautiful country with soft, white sand. It is true, this island seems to be difficult to reach, especially by people from the continent of America and Australia, and yet so far, quite a number of people from those places did come to pay this island beneath the wind a visit and some even came back again and when going home promised to come back again. Now, the end of the year 2015 is nearly over, and people have started getting busy with the preparation for Christmas and New Year.

Christmas trees are erected in some public places like in the courtyard of the municipalities, gardens and parks. And there is a place where they used to have cultural show not far from the port, which is called Caudan Waterfront. The ambiance may start even a week before Christmas Day. And people are also given a seasonal bazaars that only exist during end of the year season on some of the streets in some regions of cities, like in Madad-ul-Islam street in Plaine Vert Region and by the Victoria Bus Terminal and other places in Rosehill, Quatre Bornes, Curepipe and Mahebourg.

Some companies are close for the season but some remain in operation and many of them even open part-time jobs because some of their employees who have families in the other island like a Mauritian has a family in Rodrigues Island decide to spend the holiday there and vice-versa. It can be fun if one can get a job in that sleepy island. Even foreign students are also given the opportunity to get a seasonal part-time jobs.
