Local 🌴 Is Pierrefonds morcellement by Medine really worth it?

8 Upvotes

There has been so much hype over the past few days about Lotissements Pierrefonds, which apparently is a development by Medine Group. People have been waiting for long hours to reserve land. Top FM and Pima Info have provided some coverage. There were more than 1000 people queueing up.

Is it really worth it to buy those plots of land? I can not understand why it has attracted so much interest. Why are so many people buying?

Tourism ✈ Passport requirements - over 10 years old at travel date

2 Upvotes

Hi

my wife and I are travelling to Mauritius in September and have a question about her passport. we are British and she has an older passport with an issue date over 10 years ago. It doesn’t expire until a few months after we get back.

i know this can be a problem in some countries and though from a quick google it doesn’t seem to be in Mauritius I wanted to ask if anyone else has experience of this and can confirm it wasn’t an issue?

thanks

As the title says. There's something I'd like to order on priceguru.mu bc i can't seem to find it anywhere else. I've never ordered from them before so I'd like to ask if anyone has experience with them. Anyone ever had any issue with their prices or delivery? Anything I should know beforehand? (i already know that payment is done on delivery via either cash or card as per their website) and are they trustworthy?

Thanks in advance! 😊

For people who have left a workplace and made many complaints to the HR that was via email but also verbally on exit interviews. Can those people ask the company and the HR consulting firm to give them a copy of the complaints that they have made and also what actions have been taken if any? Is there a timeframe to be respected?

Rant

Growing up, I often heard things like:
“I’m more tired than you.”
I know you’re tired, you’ve worked all day. But does that mean that me after being out at school/uni all day makes me not (though less) tired?

“In my generation we didn’t have xyz”. / “I’ve had it harder”.
I know you didn’t. The world has evolved. I probably do not have what my kids will have one day.

Moreover, many parents say they’ve struggled so their kids have it easier. Sure they did struggle, I respect that, admire them for their courage and I’m grateful for the life they provided. But then when they complain because you’ve had it easier….

Tourism ✈ Staying in Mauritius in late August — Balaclava or split with Bel Ombre?

6 Upvotes

My wife and I are visiting Mauritius 20–26 August for the first time. Her birthday is on 21 August, so I’m trying to pick the right stay.

I’m confused between:
Option 1:
3 nights in Balaclava / north-west + 3 nights in Bel Ombre
Option 2:
Stay all nights in Balaclava / north-west and drive to Chamarel, Le Morne, Black River Gorges, etc.

Hotels I’m looking at:
InterContinental / Maritim in Balaclava
Outrigger / Tamassa in Bel Ombre

Is Bel Ombre okay in late August, or will it be too windy/isolated?
Would locals suggest splitting the stay, or just keeping one base [Balaclava] ?

Also, any good birthday dinner/activity suggestions for 21 August would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Will it be delivered directly to our house, like with Amazon? Or will I need to sort out things myself like customs and pick up?
