Pick of the Commonwealth - May 2008 Pt.1

This month: presenter Robin White visits the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius.

This island nation has no natural resources, and is home to a wide variety of ethnic groups. Its British and French colonial history is still visible.

It's now a tourist destination known to many as the former home of the long extinct dodo.

Robin's guide is Rishi Gopaul, television news editor at the Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation.

Amongst other things they visit a very expensive tourist site, an international call centre, and a huge knitting factory. They also ponder what it means to be Mauritian.
