The current season in Mauritius is winter this time. This means a pleasant warm 28 degrees with bright sunshine. First impressions are always important and I am extremely curious. The breeze gently moves the sugar cane plantations along the roadside, the first thing that strikes me as a feature. You would think that this industry would dominate, but Mauritius’ economy is much more diversified than that, which I will come to later. The other thing that strikes you first is the high quality of the roads and the left-hand traffic. Few people know that Hungarian engineers and builders played a major role in the construction of roads, back in the 1980s and 1990s. But they did. I know about this from József Mészáros, Honorary Consul of Mauritius, whom I interviewed last year. Just as Hungarians were involved in the construction of the roads, many of the public sculptures are also made by Hungarians, and we will see them in the streets and squares.
