Around the world blog: My Second location visit!

Hello! I am going to tell you about my second location visit. I am visiting Seychelles, Africa! The capital of Seychelles Africa is Victoria. Seychelles has no neighboring countries, which is pretty cool! The Indian Ocean is the only body of water that surrounds Seychelles. The GPS coordinates for Seychelles, Africa are: Latitude: 4.583333, Longitude: 55.66667 lots of numbers right? The climate in Seychelles is VERY hot, the republic of Seychelles consists of 115 islands of the east coast of Africa. The total population is about 84,000. AMAZING! The history of Africa is very fascinating! They traded across a series of coastal trading towns, the key one being Kilwa. One region that saw considerable state formation due to its high population and agricultural surplus was the Great Lakes region where states such as Rwanda, Burundi, and Buganda became strongly centralized. Did you know that from Africa, my first location visit, to hear it is 6849 miles! That is a LONG way ! I took a plane to here from Australia, I was really nervous at first but then I realized it was REALLY fun! I am very excited! Good bye now!
