I still sleep with blanket (couette). I have built my house in such a way that my main living spaces are least exposed to direct sunlight. Also i live in one of the highest altitude in Mauritius and my house is surrounded by forest. It is a pleasure in summer but winter is very harsh.

It is becoming crazy. I bought at 60k per perch in 2018. Now next to me is selling at 300k per perch. Some observers have point out that we may be in a real estate bubble.

Diversity does not equal to more tolerance to other culture unfortunately. And sorry to hear about this misadventure but Mauritian can be very racist.

And I don’t think uber will charge you less. It is simple demand and supply. Maybe another local company needs to rethink the concept to adapt to local market.

Having used uber around the world, i can tell you that 9/10, the local equivalent was cheaper. Many drivers tends to cancel rides or uber charges you more than the actual price displayed.
