The other day (12th October) after the big zit on my face disappeared I decided to head down to the SLA to process my driving license. That’s when I realized that I have been spelling ‘license’ the American way. Apparently, the “correct” (British way and therefore Seychelles way) spelling of the word is ‘licence’. How odd-looking.
Anyway, the lady there took my picture, and then right before printing she asked me if “Sabrina Sabino” was my real name. The nerve. I think she was just joking though. Although some joke, huh? I replied, “yup that’s my real name believe it or not. Don’t worry I get it a lot…some people don’t believe that’s my real name”.
This is why I’m hesitant when it comes to dealing with offices here in Seychelles. I can always expect something weird to happen. Nothing beats my first visit to Nouvobanq though. I will write about that actually. 2 years of driving experience and I’ll be able to rent a car. Yay.
Oh yeah, and they got my address wrong (the block number). I will still try my best to squeeze in some time for driving practice with my instructor though.
