It's time to dispel the myth about the Seychelles. When people think of Seychelles, even those who have been there, they conjure up images reminiscent of a Bounty commercial, all indulgent wealth and luxury. And this dream can be fulfilled by heading to one of the outer islands, where tourists can cocoon themselves in a resort just expending enough effort to adjust the straw in their alarmingly expensive cocktail and direct their masseuse to that aggravating knot of stress. These visitors will leave suntanned and happy, regaling tales from their superficial experience about perfect beaches and the helpful pool boy, but without the first idea of the real people, the politics and the culture.

I'm really only able to talk about the main island, Mahe, because that’s the only island I've been to. Mahe is the only Seychelles island with an airport but there are many boat rides available to get to the others such as Praslin and La Digue. The main town on Mahe is called Victoria. There are a variety of shops there including a supermarket, craft shops and food places. All the utility headquarters are here including embassies.
