The Senses of Casablanca
Sights:
Check out the satelite dishes on the roofs...every house has them!
Some of the arabic that can be seen anywhere. This is a coke can
the head of a swordfish in the local food market
a clementine tree in the middle of the city
A donkey on one of the main streets.
Pizza Hut Delivery BIKES
"Mobilia" - an Ikea in Morocco!
Sounds
- BEEP, BEEP, BEEP (we had our first taxi ride experience today. Road lanes are suggestions and beeps are signal lights)
- "Hello my friend" - the only English phrase known by Morrocans used to get our attention
- prayer call from the mosques five times a day
- uhhhh.....petite (answer by us when we are asked if we speak French)
Taste
- cafe: very strong espresso
- cafe avec lait (very good cappucino!)
- mint tea
- rotisserie chicken with rice and all the trimmings for only $2 per person
- pastries that resemble croissants with raisins (quite good)
Smells:
-our money belts which touch our very smelly skin
-fish or seafood which can be smelled many places in the city
- our breath (the result of not having toothpaste or a toothbrush due to a lost bag..we have some now)
- a rank smell that is hard to describe coming from many different areas in the city
Touch
- 10 bank machines before we were able to withdraw money
- someone holding Brians arm to get his attention while jabbering on in French
- this keyboard because this is the second time I've typed this post (the first one disappeared somewhere!)
