The new terminal - Beware it's a bitching post by Sleeping Cookie
Beware - it's a bitching post. They build a new and luxurious terminal / airport. I must say I expected more. * I would have expected that for the arrivals, the people would be able to wait inside the building to welcome their relatives / loved ...

Wow, I did think you would be able to go inside and have a coffee while waiting for family / friends to arrive and then be there to greet them, I am amazed that has not happened. Sounds like the coffee is not worth having anyway :) Can you go ... Read More

They are ridiculous korn1 but you will have to meet certain criteria to be allowed to buy property. We are about to apply for our 10 yer permit and even if that is granted we will only be allowed to buy an apartment in certain types of complexes ... Read More

Thanks for your input External. Have you lived in Mauritius? I do believe that there will be a 'crash' in the Mauritian property market and a lot of people will be left with empty houses and no tenants to pay their mortgages. It may take this ... Read More
