Right now, I live in the oldest part of the city called Casbah des Oudayas (casbah means castle in Arabic). It’s actually a small city inside a fortress / castle on a hill by the ocean (it sounds so romantic, doesn’t it?). I have a very small room in a very huge house. The size of the room doesn’t matter that much though. I am rewarded with a gorgeous and picturesque view from the terrace on the roof of our house. You can see the whole down town of Rabat, my old district Hassan (with the famous brown Hassan Tower next to which I used to live), Sale (the neighboring city just across the river), the roofs of casbah and… the ocean! It’s so breathe-taking! Just imagine a party on the roof at night – some drinks, shisha and the deep conversations with the right people… what else do you need?? Right now, I live with 5 other people (3 Americans, the Swiss and the Turkish) so I feel pretty much as if it was summer 2007 in the AIESEC apartment in Hassan. Even right now, I’m sitting in the living room and hearing my flat mates speaking to their families or friends. Turkish coming from the left and the Swiss-German coming from the right. Life in an international house again (as my mum called it – the Babel Tower) – exciting!
J’adore le Maroc!
