7 weeks have passed

I can’t believe how fast the time goes by. I’ve been here for almost two months and it even seems more to me. Last week was quite hectic. Everyday an MC meeting (to finish planning process), everyday French lessons and everyday a lot of new things to do. There were a few parties in different places but I even didn’t feel like going. I’m still fighting with accounting of Morocco and luckily I’m more and more successful. Next week, I’ll probably have a meeting with Moroccan accountant who will give me feedbacks to my solutions. On Saturday, to summarize planning process in the country, we had an MC-LCs meeting to present each others our plans and give feedbacks. Part of the meeting was in French. Although it was hard for me to understand at least I treated this as chance to improve my French. From time to time I managed to get the point and besides I also understood some words.

In the evening, we went for a party. It was hosted by friend of my friend in his fabulous villa. To get there we paid 70 dh (around 7 euro) for taxi which is extremely a lot here. First of all it was really far from my flat and secondly we were not sure how to get there and we were wandering a bit (which costed us a lot!). But my God – what a party it was! A lot of interesting people, variety of drinks to choose, good music and… a swimming pool. Actually, it was forbidden to swim there because of too much chlorine but… just imagine such a pool with this shining blue water. It was just asking people to swim in it. Of course me and a few other people just couldn’r resist :) It was fabulous.

Today (Sunday) was a really lazy day as we woke up really late (1 PM :). Nothing special happened besides the fact that I went to Medina (the oldest part of city where you can buy literally everything) to buy power cord for my laptop. In the evening, we went to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate Catarina’s (my Portuguese flat mate) birthday.

And that’s how my 7th week in Morocco finished. Next one starts tomorrow. Can’t wait too see it :)
