A 24th of December, what does it look like in Port Louis, the capital city of Mauritius ? Well knowing that Many of you didn't have time to come around and some of you probably had better stuffs to do than shopping I thought you still want to know how it was in Port Louis, My town.

The Caudan Waterfront was not very crowded and the shops were very quiet, looks like most persons preferred to do shopping in the shops around the Port Louis center, "La foire Plaine-Verte" and the streets of Port Louis rather than the Expensive shops of the Caudan.

The new Caudan Shopping mall was also very lonely, people here and there sitting and resting a bit, probably tired with loads of shopping around the streets of Port Louis.

Plaine Verte was without any doubts the most busy place in whole Mauritius last night. Thousands of persons converged to the "foire" of Plaine-Verte for last minutes shopping or simply for a walk around to look for the nice deals. Things are known to be sold very cheap during the last days of the year. So everyone came to check out and benefit from the crazy sales.

The Kadhafi Square Food court was really transformed with the tons of persons inside, at around 10pm the place was still packed with persons waiting for food.

Main Foods served at the Kadhafi Square Food Court at Night are:

Friend Noodles
Fried Rice
Haalim
Meatballs, Sao Mai, Nuk Yen, FishBalls, etc..

The street market is in 3 parts, Namely:

the first part starting from Royal / Nicolay road (Renaissance / Locality) to end on Desforges Street.
the second part starting from Kadhafi Square / Route des pamplemousses to near Happy Eater Fast food
the third part starts just after happy eater to end near Paul et Virginie Street.

The picture above shows the Start of the 2nd part of the Street Market place. The street is blocked and converted into a market with sellers building tents on both sides of the road. The street market is along the "Jardin de la Plaine Verte" -PlaineVerte garden, on the street called Magon Street.

A lot of stuffs have been happening since sometimes and very few time to write on any of them. Maybe too many things happening too quickly. But anyway, the blog is back on air with a tons of posts waiting to be digested

We are in Holidays in Mauritius. The months of November and December are the summer holidays for the Mauritians and most persons are wondering what they could do to change from the past summers. Where haven't they been to in Mauritius? Have you been to the nearby islands?

Hint: Ile aux aigrettes, Ile aux benitiers, Ilot gabriel, Ile aux cerfs

Not many Mauritians have indeed had the chance to visit the nearby islands, some because it is too expensive and the others because they don't know how to or Maybe because it's too much a trouble that they don't feel like bothering themselves for during the holidays (Mauritians are quite lazy in general! lol!)
