I know this is DoDo related but I really feel like people need to look closer at it. The DoDo comes from Mauritius and this is fact in RL as well about the now rare or extinct bird. But moving to why I put up a topic on this. Look what I found out about Mauritius. Some very interesting things which I put in CAPs. Makes me wonder if Michael could be here or perhaps has someone he knows here, has been here maybe.
It is an island nation off the southeast coast of the African continent in the southwest Indian Ocean, about 900 kilometres (560 mi) east of Madagascar. In addition to the island of Mauritius, the Republic includes the islands of Cargados Carajos, Rodrigues and the Agalega Islands. Mauritius Island is part of the Mascarene Islands, with the French island of Réunion 200 km (120 mi) to the southwest and the island of Rodrigues 570 km (350 mi) to the northeast.
In order to provide locals with access to imports at lower prices and attract more tourists going to Singapore and DUBAI, Mauritius is gearing towards becoming a duty-free island within the next four years. Duty has been eliminated for several products and decreased for more than 1850 products including clothing, food, jewelry, PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT, AUDIO VISUAL EQUIPMENT and LIGHTING EQUIPMENT. In addition, reforms aimed at attracting new business opportunities have also been implemented.
Mauritius ranks first among all countries in FDI inflows to India, with cumulative inflows amounting to US$10.98 billion. The top sectors attracting FDI inflows from Mauritius between January 2000 and December 2005 were electrical equipment, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, fuels, CEMENT and gypsum products and services sector (financial and non-financial).
"PHOENIX" is one of the main towns of the country. (And we know about Murray's hop to it plane flight to Phoenix and Michael's love of the Phoenix)
The only available means of inland public transport on Mauritius, so far, are via "TAXI CABS" and buses.
