[遊記] 071226 Siti Fatma Waterfalls Moroccan's home in Medina

Adventure in Morocco with three ladies


Honestly, travelling with three girls is really a different experience for me. Usually Taiwanese friends will definitely ask me if I have some affairs with any one of them while foreign friends will ask me how come I could stand for so many nights before saying "shame on me!" I am neither a gay nor a malfunction man, I just wanna see what's happening in Morocco with my female travel experts, that is all.




Hiking and being guests in Moroccan's home


In Marrakesh we went hiking among red rocks and mountains with snow on top. Firstly we ate traditional Moroccan food "Tajine" (The bose took amazingly one hour to finish I guess) as our lunch. On the way to the waterfall we enjoyed the spetacular views while taking funny pictures. Most funny of all is that we asked our Moroccan guide, who volunteered to be before asking for a tip for sure, to have Martial Art style post with us. He seemed to enjoy it. Yvonne always has the charming power to be invited as guests in Moroccan's home. So later in the evening we luckily had the chance to a house deep inside Medina (Old city center usually with markets and Mosques) in Marrakesh. I bet very few foreigners have the chance to see what's going on there. We took chances to ask these Moroccans where to buy some souvenirs and how they put on scarfs, ladies like this. However, I am interested in the communication situation because we talk with each other via a translation loop like "Chinese-English-French-Arabic". So sometimes two people actually need the other two translators to talk to each other. They also shared with us their Moroccan style snacks and mint tea. Dancing with them is also very interesting. I wrote a postcard with Chinese signature to Hamza after I learned that he has a cousin studying for Doctor degree of Chinese in Beijing. His cousin also works as an agent for their family firm, which is a window maker importing Aluminum from China, just three km away from the Spanish territory Ceuta in very north Morocco.
