Our hotel had a casino but an attempt to gamble at 7.30pm was met with shouts of ‘We closed! We closed!”.

#Sims 3 worlds shanhai series

A place where the local language is supposed to be Creole but turns out to be a series of sighs. A place where cocktails with missing ingredients are served without apology (“You want me to go all the way to the kitchen to find chocolate syrup for your chocolate cocktail”), and where requests for additional contents are met with “You want this? You want this? YOU WANT SOME OF THIS” (I’ve never before been so threatened by a bottle of Angostura Bitters). A place where asking for a menu is met with silence and a 180 degree turn away from the customer. Mahe is like paradise, if paradise were run by the most grumpy staff on the planet. We spent our 8 nights in the Seychelles on three different islands Mahe, La Digue and Praslin. I say sneak Rachel’s ploy of giving us the wrong room number didn’t work as we had the foresight to check.Īpparently one of the most photographed beaches in the world (La Digue) Very fortunate for us as for the first time in 2 days we had a bed to sleep on, sneaking into Rachel’s hotel room before checkout. Waiting for us in the Seychelles was Rachel, having arrived a day earlier. We met up with one of Bronwen’s old university friends in the evening, as you do whilst in Dubai, and explored one of Dubai’s few but densely populated drinking districts. Otherwise the multitude of simultaneous calls to prayer from the minarets’ loudspeakers would cause a degree of cognitive (religious?) dissonance given the sheer number of mosques to choose from. I assume the locals choose their mosque early in life, as a churchgoer in the UK does likewise. We landed on a Friday, the Islamic day of prayer. A curious mix of cultures and styles, where the world’s tallest man-made structure allows visitors to clearly observe the Sim City approach to building all that lies beneath it. Dubai is as I think we expected sandy yet curiously clean hot outdoors but freezing indoors ostentatious yet reserved. A bright idea until the 8am arrival time (6 hour flight from the UK = no real sleep) and the 2am next day departure started to take its toll. View from Burj Khalifa – it’s real, honest.īefore reaching the Seychelles, Bron and I had the bright idea of spending a day in Dubai, since that’s where our connecting flight originated. White bottoms reflecting the sun beautifully. A picturesque scene entirely for us until the old couple turned up and proceeded to get changed out on the beach. In one location, we had a local takeaway meal on the beach before once more deploying the starfish.

I doubt there are many places in the world where you can rent a car, go for a random drive and find so many completely deserted beaches. Probably the closest I’ve ever come to a ‘beach holiday’ we spent most of our time in the water. Three grownĪdults, floating in the sea anchored to an inflatable starfish, drinking flavoured rum purchased from the nearby Regatta festival. Our perfect beach was just outside our hotel in Mahe. ‘Best’, is of course subjective, with some visitors preferring near-shore coral, some seeking white sands to reflect the sun’s glare for that complete tan, or some demanding beautiful scenery for the perfect photography backdrop. The guidebooks (well, ) refer to the Seychelles as perfect for those seeking the best beaches in the world.

Not halfway, but an equal pain in the arse for all of us to reach. If it gets corrupted when Launcher or the game crashed, then the next time you try to start Launcher or load the game, they would either stall and never completely loads, or crash again.Kazakhstan, geographically and politically positioned halfway between China and the UK, seemed an unlikely location to meet up with Rachel, our friend from Shanghai with whom we’d experienced many a Chinese adventure. These files appear to be some sort of index or cache repository for the Launcher. Simport-related (maybe?) and other social data, if you use the wall to integrate with your MyPage on site New objects that would appear in Buy/Build mode If you have installed or do activities related to Yes, they would be re-generated when you next start Launcher or the game, that is by design. Delete any or all of these files you have. Inside, will be a number of cache files.To delete your cache files, navigate to The Sims 3 in DOCUMENTS folder.
