Falling in Love in Casablanca
Drinking champagne and eating caviar
Watching the world goes by

There are so many broken hearts in Casablanca
Throwing away champagne and unfinished caviar
The world still goes by

A kiss is not a kiss in Casablanca
A kiss is not a kiss if I am alone in Casablanca
Please come with me to Casablanca
I will love you more as time goes by

Arrived in the romantic city of Casablanca on a sunny Saturday afternoon. From the airport, I took the train to the Gare de Casa Voyageurs station and changed to the impressive metro to get into the city.

I only stayed 3 days and 2 nights in Casablanca but I managed to visit some interesting places.

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

The second 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 took more pictures.

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

I passed by the beaches and hotels.

I met up with my contact Mahdi at 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 secured seat and a more comfortable ride.
