So strange. <BR/><BR/>If I'm ever back I hope it's for the beaches and the surf!I Dive At Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726422679358658819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029763.post-92118958132342963852008-01-22T14:46:00.000+01:002008-01-22T14:46:00.000+01:00Casablanca is one of the biggest cities in Morocco...Casablanca is one of the biggest cities in Morocco. It is to be quite frank, a city, nothing special about it. As all cities it offers its western comforts, McDonalds and other fast food chains can be found.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.moroccoproperty.org.uk/" REL="nofollow">Morocco property</A> is famous thanks to this city.<BR/>It is a business centre, and reflects appropriately the living standards of Moroccans, the out skirts of the city is lined with make shift shacks, plastic bags and other rubbish surrounds the squats, as does the scent of death.<BR/>All in all Casablanca was an experience, I don't think I will return. It's a shame because the surrounding areas are quite special, beaches that line the coast are very clean, warm water and great surf, up to 5m in winter.<BR/>Keep your wits when traveling in Casablanca, I would not recommend single girls traveling alone, or in groups of girls, it is also advised to dress appropriately and wear a wedding band.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191707954426154320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029763.post-81546602838496045392007-06-15T19:20:00.000+02:002007-06-15T19:20:00.000+02:00Shocked!

Why? Because they wanted an additional $10.00 per day. He thought it seemed a bit greedy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34029763.post-19468803048782012342007-06-15T13:06:00.000+02:002007-06-15T13:06:00.000+02:00I was at your mother's blog and saw she's giving u...I was at your mother's blog and saw she's giving up blogging; please tell her I'll miss her, I had a lot of fun with her blog, even though it was only for a short time. <BR/><BR/>I've been wanting to visit Morocco, but it scares me a little, especially hearing about crimes against tourists.
