news directly from the Casa airport

Apparently, I succeeded in getting connected. The story is hilarious.

I was sitting on the floor near a plug and watching one of my favorite episodes of SATC when I was approached by a guard who started watching with me. Then his friends came and we were all watching for a while. Then he invited me to a cafeteria near where he bought me Internet access voucher. He didn’t let me pay of course (as usual Moroccan) but obviously wanted something in return. He and his friends wanted to see … some porn movies. Yes… I said I had no porn movies but the guy was smart and he suggested google. With no excitement I agreed for that. His smartness was not deep and he (actually they) didn’t manage to find what they were looking for. All the sites were either non-free or they had to give email to receive some passwords etc etc Their excitement cooled down and so did the battery in my laptop (I actually made the process of the battery dying a bit faster to finish this embarassing story:). Then others went to sleep and the first one invited me to his office to charge my laptop (I may seem stupid for letting be involved in such stories but it was at the airport and they worked here so all seemed fine – anyway, whoever comes here to Morocco, s/he always happens to meet some Moroccans who are usually very good at making new friendships and providing you with involvement in funny stories; one has to understand that they usually don’t want to hurt or cheat you in anyway but they’re just very open and friendly – ask anyone else who was here). In the office (where I’m now), my airport friend is eating his breakfast/dinner (whatever – it’s 2 AM) and drinking the yoghurt I gave him (in return for Internet access) and I’m writing this post :) My check in starts in 3 hours. I wonder what else can happen here.

I’ll keep you updated :)

PS I was (and I am) speaking French with them! I understand most of the things and I can express a lot too! That's so cool!
