Messages have poured in from all over the world congratulating us for going on-line. Bravo. The Seychelles Review now has a global readership.  If you have friends anywhere in the world wishing to learn about what is going on in this corner of the Indian Ocean just ask them to click on one of our two websites – www.seychellesreview.com [1] or www.seychellesreview.sc [1]

In this issue our focus is on the People’s Republic of China which is regarded to all intents and purposes, as an important superpower. You will find pertinent articles dealing with several aspects concerning the awakening of this Asian giant. We would like to point out that these articles, like all other articles in the Seychelles Review are the views of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Seychelles Review.

The next subject which is well covered in this issue is Miss Intercontinental Beauty Pageant 2007 – see centre-spread of the 42 beautiful ladies who descended on our shores only recently.

We take this opportunity to remind our patrons and readers that the November/December issue will be a special double issue focused on the festive occasion of Christmas and the New Year.

We avail of this opportunity to thank our patrons for their advertising support as we say farewell to 2007 and prepare to embark on the exciting road of 2008.
