Hey LondonRose =). Thanks for your nice answer, I confess I was pretty excited about reading that Isa and you have some roots from Mauritius Island ^^. A lot of people I meet don’t know what is Mauritius and where it is located on the world map ^^”. Do you understand the mauritian creole, or not at all? Do you speak it a little bit? =) I personly undertand perfectly both creole (from Reunion and Mauritius) because I am used to hear it in our family parties, but I don’t really speak it. I know I could, but I don’t see the interest of speaking it in France.
Where I am from? =)Let’s share the “short” version of my little story ;):
actually, I have one grand-grand parent who was french but except him, I almost have chinese origins with grand parents from China. But my father is born in Mauritius and my mother in Ile de la Réunion(it’s pretty close from Mauritius and Madagascar =)). Then, I am born in France but I lived in four different cities in France, so the longest time I stayed in one place was ten years (it’s not so bad actually =)). And now, I am studying in the USA =). In fact, I think I am part of these people we call “Third Generation”, in plus of being a CCK.

Nathy!!
I, too am happy to find other people who know Mauritius!! Priyanka does as well.
You know, knowing Mauritians, its highly likely that our families all know each other through the grapevine.Hahaha.
