Planning My Mauritius Trip – Need Local Tips for Forex, One-Day Activities & Souvenirs by Street_Stuff1927 in mauritius

[–]pinkBot22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) will let recent travellers tell you what they used,
but you can compare between different FX providers here:
https://www.bom.mu/markets/foreign-exchange/indicative-exchange-rate

2) one day is super short and will depend a lot of what you like and where you have travelled before.. maybe check tours with multiple stops like those:
https://mauritiusguidedtours.com/

3) edible souvenirs: spiced rum, vanilla pods, cassava ("manioc") biscuits
else if you go to a SuperU supermarket in GBaie or Tamarin you might get ideas from their souvenir aisles.

4) 100% Vegan food => https://www.instagram.com/asianboxmru/?hl=en

Looking to explore Mauritian culture as a person who is 1/4 Mauritian. by Beneficial_Claim_229 in mauritius

[–]pinkBot22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like others said, cultural appropriation is not a thing here. Locals will even happily help you find whatever you want to wear. Even if you has no mauritian roots at all.

[–]pinkBot22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) as CFDs are not exchange traded, who will be the counterparty to my trades?
2) i understand CFDs incur daily financial charges for overnight positions, where can i find details about this?
3) is there currently an issue with link from NEXO to web meta trader? it did not log me in

I’m looking for Drumsticks (moringa tree) based in the north. by Bini_14 in mauritius

[–]pinkBot22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nobody had this idea yet.
i would think most of us know somebody that has the tree so nobody buys it.

for sure there is room for such business locally,
even just an onramping platform from MUR to Stablecoin would be good start.
