As I was gonna get off the train. Thsi moroccan guy speaking really good English started talking, confirming the stop to me and all that. Then I found out he is actually from Canada!

Amazing tho, he brought me to local pool/game centre! haaaa......played a game of bad pool...had some water pipe [View Full Entry]

Just back from my trekking trip!! Morocco has amazing landscapes.. in one day, went from warm lowlands to high mountains to snowcapped views. Then the next day on a camel in the Sahara!!!!!! Most of the trip spent on the 4x4, so it was a little boring. It was a nice group though, met many people and learned many things! They gave me lots of advice on my ongoing trip as well! all those people have already travelled though Europe!! and they are all AT LEAST trilingual! English, French + one more language of their own!!! ahhhh, I felt so [View Full Entry]

Well, Marrakech is less exciting then I thought. I get lots of weird stares...doesnt feel too good. Now I understand how foreigners felt in Japan. Tourist Info Office was not helpful AT ALL....so instead of getting on and off taxis, I decided to go the expensive way and took th city sightseeing tourbus. Its very convinient actually. The audio guide gave me lots of info as well. and it took me to all the sights. Saw the city in a day literally. The palace and ruins were pretty cool; very dessert feel....haaa My hotel is such a ripoff.....argh... I didnt [View Full Entry]

Well well, after many years of talking, I am finally making it come true!!! Seems like I really lost my mind. Will I regret?..humm. Won't know till I come back. I already feel I am losing a lot from taking this trip. I didnt' think I gain much from my trips in Japan.. I wonder what this trip will bring me?? The closer it comes, the scarier it feels. Just hope I won't be robbed or killed. haaaa! Well, packing is no fun. I leave in less than 24 hours and I still need to get a backpack. This 45L is [View Full Entry]
