Well, In my almost last stop...Fez. Very interesting, modern, but with a traditional taste. The Medina is HUGE..... So I got off here yesterday. Took the train and it was very comfortable. 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!

So, last night did my laundry, then slacked off and eventually fell asleep. Woke up in the middle of the night, then slept again till 7! haaa 10 hours of sleep.... not bad except a mosquito was around... Had a nice basic breakfast at the hostel. Then a Spanish/Argentina man came talking to me...we ended up travelling to Rabat together for the daytrip! This guy...I get so jealous coz he only works for about 6 months, then he gets this money from the government and then he travels for the other 6!!!!!WTF! I want his job!!!!! So we took the train to Rabat. Wow....Morocco has nice trains!! Leather seats .. and the train system is very systemized as well. Very impressive ne! Anyways, it was an hour ride and the guy just kept showing off.....haaaa... ... read more

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 useless there..... So, Morrocan cities and countries are very diff ne. People in the mountains are a lot friendlier...haaaa! Not surprising. It isnt as poor as I thought and there were lots of schools. Morroco ... read more

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 really do much....why am I so sleepy already..... Tomorow is the dessert trip...hope that would be more exciting ne^^ ... read more

After looping around the Medina, finally arrived at my hotel. not bad ne. many tourist...haaa Still need to find my way around....this place is like old China, except with everything in Arabic and French. Signed up for the Sahara dessert trip...haaa...got a big group so can pay less. hohohoho.

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 too small!!!!! __" I want SLEEEEEEEP....-____-" Anyways, this will be my travel blog and in the coming 8 months, this place will see my exsistence. Leave me a message!! or can email me as well. ... read more
