Back at Seychelles after 9 years. Almost all still equally amazing - the beach (soft sand), the sea (turquoise and warm), ocean waves (loud but calming), mountains (all shades of green), weather (30°C, partially cloudy with occassional showers), food (especially oranges and pineapples).

101 for identifying fake emails and text messages (How to avoid online scams)
In today's world of artificial intelligence and direct translators, it might not be easy to distinguish whether a phone call is a fraud or real, so I recommend being careful of other phone calls that try to extract orders, addresses, or even your credit card number, or the access code for two-factor authentication that came to your phone.

White Christmas – A Vianoce boli biele
This year, surprisingly, Christmas was white. 😊 My grandma was telling that already weeks in advance and I did not believe her. I don’t even remeber that much snowfall during the holiday season. In the past, even if it fell overnight, it melted quickly in the morning. This year it was different thanks to freezing temperatures. Tento rok boli Vianoce biele. Moja stara mama to predpovedala s tyzdnovym predstihom, no neverila som jej. Teraz sa jej ospravedlnujem. 😊 Ani si nepamatam, kedy boli naposledky sviatky biele.

For work I researched the country's energy sector and learnt more about the country, the culture, history and the people in general. And was even more curious. So I visited the country in summer 2016.
