From Casablanca to Marrakesh

Traveling from Casablanca to Marrakesh, we choose to take the train.

On the way to the railway station, we met two young South Korean men who happen to notice our large luggage bags and ask us, “What has happened recently in China? We have encountered lots of Chinese people on the way to the railway station from Greece.”

“It was the birthday of our motherland a few days ago. Everyone was so happy, and we were provided with a few days off. If you have an opportunity to visit China, you will know that the number of Chinese people you have encountered is not big.”

We asked again, “Are you coming here for your holiday?”

“Nope, we have resigned from our jobs. After our resignation, we were planning to visit Europe first, and then the countries in Africa.”

Enjoy your travels.

After chugging through the red soil land and short undulating dunes, and past remote and poor hamlets and towns with mottled walls for three hours, the train finally arrived in Marrakesh, the “Land of God”.

It is said that you will see the largest outdoor square of Morocco in Marrakesh. Therefore, when hanging around in Casablanca, I lost my interest in the products of the city, because of my unlimited expectation of Marrakesh, hoping to see the illuminating square there.

The hotel we had reserved was just located in the vicinity of the square, and so we had already begun to talk about whether we should stay at the hotel to rest for a while or just leave our luggage bags at the hotel and directly go to the square. Then, the taxi stopped. We have arrived.

When I saw the long unexpected outdoor square with my luggage bag on the ground, it was indeed difficult to describe my initial feelings about it. When the host came to pick us up, I asked again, “Is this the largest square?”

He replied with hospitality, “Yes, yes.”

Ha ha...

It really was “Yes, yes...”
