Thanks for the input. Your explanation about the DNS I'm using and the
"server" that I reach with it clarifies the ping result. While using
Mauritius Telecom's DNS, my ping results are as follows:

ish_at_coffee-bar:~$ ping -c 10 google.mu

When using Google DNS (8.8.8.8) I get the following:

ish_at_coffee-bar:~$ ping -c 10 google.mu
PING google.mu (74.125.230.175) 56(84) bytes of data.

I realized the responding server's IP address only later when we talked
about the low latency.
