Well, I can honestly say that we will not get the answers with the clues given. I have gone through my atlas (not the windows time settings) and looked at all of the countries that are GMT +4, and none of them are official English. You can also check at greenwichmeantime.com to see that the countries I have listed are the only ones on the GMT +4 standard.

Hmmm... I trying to think of a good clue that will not give the answer away easily... especially by searching on google... ;)

Ok, my country's flag has 4 colours. Yellow, Red, Green, Blue.

My country was the 4th country with the U.S in the world to issue postage stamps. Plus my country's stamps are the only ones in the world with the inscription "Post Office"

<< haha... ok another hint. GMT is +4hrs >>

GMT is +4hrs? GMT <U>is</U> 4 hours <U>ahead?</U> of your country's time zone? If so that puts you in the Western Hemisphere. If some people have already guessed it, why didn't you already confirm this and congratulate them? Lame...like the Dodo, this thread should be extinct.

How'd you get to be from there? You look Chinese, Taiwanese, Singaporean or perhaps Chinese-Indonesian...

One can be born and grow up in a country where the natives aren't of your ancestry. Come to think of it, I have no idea what any Mauritians look like!
 

Oh my God! You are from Mauritius? That is so cool. So you're right next to Madagascar. I would suppose Mauritius has a similar history as Madagascar, especially with diversity; so that would explain your ethnic background present there.

I would never have guessed you were from there. :eek: All this while, I thought you resided at and were from the United States (of Asian descent). Hey now, maybe I won't have to worry about accommodation anymore since I "know" someone there. Hehehe! I'm messing with ya! ;)

Mauritius just became a republic in 1992? It must have been enjoying too much of the dominion title! ;)

Oops, I guess I missed their post :p

Congrats people... Yes, I am from Mauritius :) :)

I think Bluga was the first one to guess correctly. He even posted my country's profile :p
