I got off from the Gare de Casa Voyageurs station and took the metro to meet my contact.

I only stayed 2 nights in Casablanca but I managed to visit some interesting places.

This market place is full with people. It sells almost any things from fruits, clothes and others. With my limited French, I managed to get myself a pair of slipper after some bargaining.

The next day, I walked around taking pictures and I reached the Grand Casablanca. I did not manage to get it as it was closed.

I walked further and take more pictures.

I found a restaurant called Chinatown. There are also McDonald’s and Burger King.

I passed by the beaches and hotels.

I met up with Mahdi in the cafe. I stayed in his apartment for 2 nights.

I took the unpleasant train ride to Marrakesh. I think they might have over sold the second class train tickets as many people couldn’t even get into the train when it reached the Casa-Oasis railway station. I had to wait for 2 hours for the next train. Moreover, the train was delayed for 30 minutes. I had a tough fight with the other passengers to get myself, my 28 inches luggage and haversack up into the train. The cabins were just physically full and many of us had to stand along the narrow pathway for 3 long hours. Next time I must get first class ticket so that I could have a more comfortable ride.
