I was taking a walk along the shores of the beach right next to the villas at Silhouette and I noticed that they had such wonderful shells so I decided to pick up a few. There were a lot of coned-shaped shells so my objective was to pick up one that was large and almost-perfect [...]
My memory card isn’t compatible with this laptop’s slot so I have no choice but to upload the better-resolution images when I return to Mahe. But here are some images taken from my phone’s image gallery:
Somehow, I ended up at Carana beach this afternoon. I think it’s my first time on that beach because I don’t remember ever going there before today. It is a beautiful small beach, quite secluded. As we walked down the lane that led up to the beach, Italian tourists were having a hard time driving [...]
All my efforts of losing weight has gone straight to hell this week. Yesterday, I gobbled up 5 big-a$$ chilli cakes “gato piman”. The Indian shop close to where I live here at La Louise sells the best I’ve ever tasted. Price: SCR3. I think they even include lentils in their ingredients. These are just [...]
The following images are press released images of the ceremony that was held yesterday to welcome the arrival of the fiber optic cable into the country. Press:
I expect this might possibly be a turning point in internet technology here in Seychelles. I don’t know how long it will take for me to actually get my hands on the speedy service, from the comfort of my own home. But hopefully that happens sometime this year. For quite a while now we’ve been [...]
I was going through a friend’s hard drive yesterday when I spotted these amazing pictures of the beautiful Dutchman’s Pipe cactus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) or is it the Brahma Kamal (Saussurea obvallata)? He told me I could have them for my blog, so here they are! To add on to its beauty, it is a flower [...]
A few pictures taken at the Bel Air Cemetery this month:

One of the most interesting things about living here in Seychelles is meeting expatriates from all over the world and understanding other views of this country from their perspective. It really is an amazing experience, especially if you’ve been to their countries and have experienced life as an expatriate yourself. All of a sudden you [...]
Approximately 30 minutes to midnight and my work day has just begun. But before that, I thought I’d just write a blog entry while I sip up a glass of Bicardi’s Pina Colada and keep refilling the glass until all the ice in my glass has melted. Darn this is good. I didn’t work as [...]
5:33PM: Tsunami Watch Cancelled. I was about to exit the house earlier and head to town when I received a text message from my younger brother telling me that he’s on his way home because of the Tsunami alert. A Tsunami warning has been sent out almost immediately after the 8.9 (some sources state 8.5) [...]
Nineteen ninety nine seems like a long time ago in terms of the internet and web development in Seychelles. Back then people were asking questions like “What’s a website” and “How does it work” rather than “How can my website attract more visitors”. I learned the basis in London then came to Seychelles for a [...]
Last month I promised to visit the playground here in Seychelles so I could show you some pictures. Earlier today I had to go to town and I had a few minutes to spare so I decided to take pictures of the playground as promised. The playground is situated right next to the National Library. [...]
Today there was a bit of rain and a bit of sun so you can guess what happened as a result: a rainbow! I just had to take a picture. I was at the Bel Air-Bel Eau road heading towards Mt. Fleuri when I saw it. I just had to take a picture for my [...]
