Hello

Anyone who has an AMEX from MCB has an idea what's the requirement to get one? Their eligibility criteria on the site seems pretty vague and I'm sure there's more to that.

Thanks

Hello everybody,

I have an Nissan March 2011 that is a little bit dated. I'm looking to add a satnav and upgrade the existing reverse camera. Maybe add some sensors to make noise too.

Any suggestions on where to go and what price to expect???? I know very little about cars.

I was told that Autostar in Beau-bassin is a good place to do this.

Hello :)

I’ve been interested in learning German for a while and recently came across a course which Polytechnics Mauritius offers. They have a part time option which would be really suitable for me and as per the course content it goes until C1 level.

Has anyone ever taken any language courses there and care to share their experience? Is it worth it?

If you have any other places to recommend for learning German, i’m open to that too.

Merci <3

I’m planning a 5-night trip to Mauritius toward the end of June and would love some resort recommendations. I’m looking for a good beachfront resort with a budget of around $500–600 per night. I had lux le morne and royal palm in mind, which is better between these two?

I’m a bit concerned about the weather at that time of year especially rain, wind, and whether the sea will be calm enough for swimming. I’m also unsure which part of Mauritius is best to stay in during late June. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I also really enjoy visiting casinos, so I’d love to know what the casino scene is like in Mauritius, do they have any table games apart from blackjack and baccarat?

Today an expat parked his car across two disabled bays as he went to Sofap in Mon Choisy mall. I alerted the guard and they spoke to
him and he made a bullshit excuse about his daughter being ill. I told the man off and swore at him as he gave me this sorry excuse, he told me not to swear and I asked him that is what someone deserves for parking across two disabled bays.

Im look to rent a car either automatic or manual for a few days i live near bel air so if there are places to rent car near let me know

Does someone need to present an original driver’s licence? If the original got lost, can we bring a copy or only the ticket to the counter and pay?

Hi everyone, I hope I can get some recommendations for a furniture removal company from the uk to Maurtius? I am busy getting quotes but could use some recommendations please? I have used 7 seas in the past but they only deliver to the the port and then we must get a truck to move the goods to our house. Thanks so much

I know mauritius is slow in taking certain actions. I think it's high time to change this system. No one should wait this long for cdu to intervene, all complaints should be done at the police station. A 6 year old child should not endure assault and bullying for months. So far her school has let her down and everyone else.

My extended family drove me to the airport and were told they are not allowed to enter because "there are a lot of people going to Saudi Arabia to pray so only passengers with tickets can enter." This is a direct quote from the police officer when I asked what was going on.

Can someone explain this to me? I'm inside the airport and it's nearly completely empty. Is this a normal thing? I hope it's not offensive to ask this question. I'm just trying to understand.

I ordered some products over aliexpress valued at $20 incl shipping( so under Rs1000)
I get 2 separate invoices from Celero asking for a clearly flat rate of Rs300 brokerage fee AND on invoice #1 VAT for Rs170 (which implies value > Rs 1,100)
The second invoice has the same brokerage fee but for some reason VAT Rs325 (implying value > Rs2100)

So product ~ Rs950
#1 invoice asking Rs 572.50
#2 invoice asking Rs 727.50

Not to mention it seems they're completely ignoring the Rs1000 amount that has to be deducted before calculation of any VAT/Duty for personal imports (which this is)

Anyone got some way to make sense of this ??

Hiya, sweet ones!

My family lives in Mauritius and this time I am visiting with my partner. It is his first time in Mauritius and he is a professional magician/mentalist and he loves connecting to others whenever he visits different countries.

So I was wondering if there are any magicians or mentalists in Mauritius? Anywhere else I can ask besides Reddit? Thoughts?

Thanks so much for the help, excited to see my Mauri fam soon, hope you all are doing well💕

Hey I run a small art outsourcing studio for games, films, architecture etc and have worked on a few popular indie games in the past. I'm currently working on a very ambitious horror title rn and relocating to mauritius as a digital nomad for a bit of peace and tranquility while I work.

I'm gonna be pretty heads down finishing up this project but I want to make sure I actually leave my apartment and meet some people.

Would love to connect with other digital nomads, devs, or anyone on the island who likes horror games or art.

If anyone wants to link up shoot me a dm and we'll connect over discord.

We have a solar heater and hot water tank on the roof without a backup tank heater.

I want to install something in my apartment that takes the hot water from the tank but if the water flowing isn't hot enough it would heat it up. Does that exist?

Id rather not have an electric shower sitting beside the normal shower.

Hii everyone!

My husband and I are heading to Mauritius next week and we are big foodies!! We love exploring local food. We are looking for the best places to eat at!

We are looking for street food, shack style places and not apposed to something fancy if it’s good. We wanna just explore the food scene heavily but want to stay away from the tourist traps. We will staying east but we will be renting a car so we are happy to drive to fill our bellies 🙂

Thank you in advance for your recommendations

My brother was born with cataracts. He's now 18. The reason why we didn't do the surgery here is because doctors for theses cases, do no operate kids having born with cataracts.

I would like to bring him to Chennai for a medical diagnosis and would like him to get the surgery done over there itself.

Hello so i got 4 missed calls from the local police station on my old number which is on a phone i no longer use. it was spaced from 06 16- 06 38. it was yesterday, i checked my old phone today at 3pm and called back and was picked up by a rude mf who basically responded “IDK” to every question(regarding what matter, which officer called, should i come to the station to inquire) nothing at all. just told me “bonne journée, merci” and hung right away. Do you peeps have any guess or have received such calls? or have any recommendations?

People in Mauritius seriously need to learn the difference between criticism and cyberbullying.

An influencer made a harmless video sharing her opinion, and suddenly people started making entire videos dedicated to mocking, insulting, humiliating, and abusing her publicly.

You can criticize someone’s points without degrading them as a human being.

People are acting like she’s some kind of public punching bag instead of an actual human being with emotions.

And honestly, this situation reflects a much deeper problem with Mauritian online culture.

We may have gone to school, gotten certificates, degrees, and jobs, but mentality-wise, a lot of people are still backwards and illiterate.

I’m seeing videos dedicated entirely to insulting and humiliating her, and the comments under those videos are even worse.

Some people are literally saying things like “bizin kass so liki”(she should be beaten)

For what exactly?

For posting an opinion online?

That’s the part that frustrates me the most. Mauritians feel like barbarians, for every minor inconvenience or disagreement, beating someone, breaking something, abuse and violence is all that comes to our minds

Sorry for the harsh words, but sometimes Mauritian social media genuinely feels barbaric. People behave like monkeys throwing shit at each other.

And before people twist this post: no, this is not about worshipping influencers or saying they can never be criticized.

Criticize them all you want.

But there’s a huge difference between:

“I disagree with what she said”

and

“Let’s collectively bully and dehumanize this person.”

In many other countries, people would either:

ignore the video,

laugh and move on,

or respond with counterarguments.

Here, people turn everything into public humiliation and mob harassment.

Paradise Island? My foot, that's only for the tourists.

Those who stay here know what type of mob-mentality we have to deal with

What’s even more disturbing is the hypocrisy.

If cyberbullying ever pushes someone to a breaking point, the same people participating in the harassment will suddenly start posting:

“Raise awareness for mental health”

“We should be kinder”

“We didn’t realize the consequences”

But where is that awareness while the bullying is actively happening?

Mauritians constantly preach respect and morality, yet the moment someone lives differently, expresses themselves differently, or simply exists publicly online, people act like that person no longer deserves basic human decency or even the right to live their life their own way.
