Which of the three towns of the central plateau is the ugliest? The rainiest? The most affected by traffic jams? The most interesting for shopping? It has become difficult to tell the three towns apart from one another as they have developed so much alike and nearly into one city. Every morning, 100,000 Mauritians commute to work here and then drive home in the evening to their bedroom suburbs. These towns' reputation rests on their markets and shops where low price clothing is sold.
