The competition which was organised by Joseph Sinon and his group 'Tanmi', brought together many young Seychellois girls and boys starting from ages 6 onwards to above 18, where they demonstrated their ability to dance the Sega in front of an audience.

There was also dance performances from the group 'Tanmi' and local singers Mervin Camille, Jean-Marc Volcy, Andre Sinon, John Wirtz.

A Radio Made Of Bamboo!

Well OK it is not exactly a radio made of bamboo but the concept to disseminate information is still there, at least in the Seychelles it is!

A view of the beach - Grande Anse on the island of La Digue, Seychelles!

A little bit about 'radyo bamboo' or 'bamboo radio'. In the Seychelles when someone hears news or information about someone or something, gossip for the most part, we say that the 'info' was heard on radyo bamboo! Of course we do not 'gossip' here but do list premier products and services from the Seychelles & the Creole World! For more information on how to list your product or services with us do contact us by email : uniqueoffers@uniqueoffersseychelles.com

Oui Je T'Aime

Something comes to mind and heart whenever I hear this song that I have just linked to! It is forever a song of love between two souls and for me always inspirational. From the first time that I heard this number to now it always, always touches me.

I can close my eyes and for a moment I am back on the island under the tropik night sky. Warm breeze against my face, staring up to the twinkling stars. The rustling of the coconut trees, and the warmth of a touch. Hand in hand as we stroll on this deserted beach. The water calm. The waves gently lapping on the shore.

Oui je t'aime. Now listen and enjoy the song. Close your eyes for just a moment and feel again.

When Opportunity Knocks Open The Door


Today was just another day like any other. The DOW hit 10,000 for the first time in many months then slumped back down to just below that mark. I do not pretend to be one that 'buys' into the market. I merely mention this here because of the obvious impact that the 'market' has on the world.

I can recall not that long ago as I was walking along the beach of Beau Vallon one afternoon and as I did picking up on the interesting bits of conversation here and there. Yes even in this beautiful setting one could here visitors to the shores of the Seychelles talking about the 'market' and the volatility of Wall Street.

For me when one gets away one should 'get away'! Don't you think? I do. After all here we are on one of the most outstanding beaches in the world - seashells, coco-nut trees, the mighty Takamaka tree, beautiful scenery all around. Get Away Time Indeed!

Its going on 9pm in the evening or about 5 am in the Seychelles. Right now as I look out the window there is a slight chill in the air - ok not slight but definite chill and a cold rain which falls. If this continues the morning should be a fun affair indeed. How good it would be to feel the warmth of the tropic sun on my skin! Dream on!

The day will soon close for me and as I mentioned in the opening one day like any other. I was fortunate to meet a nice family from Canada,B.C, French speaking and we exchanged a few interesting words both in French and English. As well a couple from Italy on holidays in the US. As always I bring up the Seychelles and try to get them to visit.

Exchanging cards the Italian couple said that next summer they would give it a try. That was nice of them and I hope to hear from them to make their visit to the Seychelles a reality.

I will terminate for now and pick up again tomorrow. Before I do however I would ask a favour of a visit to one of our travel sites. If you do I would further ask that you price compare what we have on offer for Air Travel, Hotel Bookings against the other better known online sites. 68% of the time customers to our site found that we were in fact better priced! It does not hurt to give it a look - no?

Thank you in advance for your visit! More in a bit.
