Seychelles- pronounced as Sea-shells is a very small tropical country in Indian Ocean.. The populace is more or less 80,000 only.It is indeed a paradise like island... good people.. nice hotels (5 stars and 4 stars hotels and cottages), beautiful beaches...warm weather.... I've been there for a month and it was wonderful vacation! You cannot distinguish the people you see as to whether she/he is a tourist/foreigner because this country has a mixed race like black.. white and red race. The local folks are called Seychellois-- pronounced as Seashell-wah. This island is one of the fave places of London Prime Minister Toni Blair. If you plan to have a grand vacation, i recommend this island, im sure you wont regret it.

It's actually pronounced "say-shellz". It's an archipelago in the Indian Ocean consisting of about 115 islands. Actually, it takes a watchful eye to distinguish locals from foreigners... I can tell the difference almost all the time! There's a certain look Seychellois have, not necessarily a race thing, but a look in their faces... Seychellois are rarely in a rush! I can't explain it though... but even Seychellois themselves can tell the difference almost all the time! It's also obvious in the dress sense sometimes!
Tony Blair likes Praslin island I believe... I don't remember him spending much time on Mahe. Mahe is the main and largest island, Praslin is the second largest...
