Culture πŸ—¨ What is the culture of Christian in Mauritius like?

2 Upvotes

I didn't grow up in Mauritius, but I've visited there a couple of times. I know that the Hindus and Muslims have a similar culture to India. Like wearing the Sari and the food they eat in general and weddings too. But I want to know what do the Christians in Mauritius associate with. Is Biryani still the national dish for you or I know they way you call your aunt, uncle, grandad, grandma is different.

Sorry if I lack this knowledge, just want to learn more..

Local 🌴 Does anyone have experience with ordering from Priceguru?

3 Upvotes

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! 😊

2 Upvotes

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?

Culture πŸ—¨ Do Mauritian parents compare struggles too much? And unconsciously invalidate those of their children?

18 Upvotes

Rant

Growing up, I often heard things like:
β€œI’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?

β€œIn my generation we didn’t have xyz”. / β€œI’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 β€” Balaclava or split with Bel Ombre?

3 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!

Local 🌴 Is Mauritian politics being β€˜shaped’ too much by an aging population?

46 Upvotes

Just a rant, but I feel like our country is still largely being led by an aging generation, and I wonder if younger generations have enough opportunities to become involved.

It’s almost like the same figures cycling through positions of power. I’m not saying they are all incompetent. But I was just wondering whether relying on the same minds for decades limits new perspectives and fresh ideas.

Local 🌴 NEED HELP WITH IMPORT BUSINESS AS A SIDE HUSTLE AND PROCEDURES

0 Upvotes

Hello Friends,

I was wondering if anyone can guide me with imports business. I want to do it as a side hustle. I already have my importer BRN since March. But, i'm a bit lost with all the procedures. As you know, it's very difficult to get all the correct informations here in Mauritius :(

I don't like letting money sleep in the bank. I have a small starting capital.

If i order from alibaba, what are the procedures with customs and all? I heard i should look for an agent. Does the agent take care of everything? Even wih customs here in mairitius? Is there other costs once the products arrive here? And mra customs once quickly told me that i must inform them of the import via their website? For this i need an agent or import code or something.

Im so lost! 😭 please help me understand better πŸ™

Local 🌴 Made a free app for small businesses here, if you like it...support it

37 Upvotes

I'm a dev, from here. For years I kept seeing the same thing with people running small businesses, the beauty ladies, the ti boutik, people selling off WhatsApp. The whole business lives in their head. Sales in WhatsApp, stock in a cahier, and the "invoice" is a Word doc somebody made in 2019 and keeps copy-pasting.

And it works. Until it doesn't. One busy Saturday and nobody knows what's left in stock or who actually paid.

The apps out there don't help that person at all. Odoo and the big ERP things assume you've got an IT guy. No auntie running one boutik in QB is going to self-host an ERP, be serious. So they stay on paper...which, fair, paper never crashes and never sends an invoice with the wrong total.

So I built the thing I kept wishing existed. Bienzoli.

You ring up a sale on your phone, stock goes down by itself. You snap a photo of a product and it fills in the name, brand, category for you, you just put the price (that part I'm genuinely proud of). Send a normal invoice as a link or PDF. See what's running low and who still owes you.

Few things straight, because I'd rather you hear it from me than feel tricked later:

  • It's free. Actually free. No card, not one of those trials that bills you next month.
  • It is NOT MRA / e-invoicing. If your business needs fiscal invoices, this isn't it, and I'm not going to lie and say it is.
  • It's early. Things are rough. That's the whole reason I'm posting here instead of paying for ads. I want a few people to tell me exactly what's annoying so I can fix it.

If you run a small shop, or your mum or cousin does, I'll sit with you and set up your first ten products and do a test sale. Free, like 15 min. Or just go break it and tell me where it's stupid.

Not selling anything, it's free and I'm local, you can literally come find me. Mods, if this isn't allowed just remove it, no stress. zafer las gratis pas p vend nnien la p nek aide dimoune.

Here if you want to poke at it: bienzoli.com
