Ever since I started working, I have been greatly in love with Port Louis. For one minute, just forget the busy traffic and think about the number of shops, restaurants, hawkers playing hide and seek with authorities, great atmosphere (especially during the end of year festive period), the central market, China Town, the large variety...

[Port Louis] Reserving public parking slots as your private property…
Several months back, I posted a picture of a vehicle which was very badly parked. On top of being parked on the pavement itself, the driver parked that 4x4 in such a way that it becomes very inconvenient for pedestrians to walk there.

Since their installation a couple of months back, these new billboards have raised a number of concerns on road safety due to the distraction caused and sometimes, alarming brightness...

Talk of the town : Terre Rouge – Verdun Link Road
Officially accessible to the public since a few days, the Terre Rouge Verdun Link Road is probably the talk of the town right now. This 24Km long road will definitely be beneficial to those who unnecessarily needed to go through the capital daily.
Great job!
Did you eat a naan recently?
Today, the topic is not about the "farata" and "roti" which are very common in Indian cuisine but instead, I will be briefly talking about the one which is widely available during the muslims' fast in the occasion of the eid celebrations.
When hawkers try to impose their own rules…
I found it a bit unfair that authorities have literally thrown hawkers out of the 500 meters radius of the Port Louis Central Market and even more than that.
But now, I feel differently.
Free VIP Parking in Port Louis. Hurry!
Since the last tarring of this part of the road, the authorities have not painted the double-yellow lines back, as it used to be.
Grab a parking slot while it is still possible! Plis bon ki sa gaté!
