In Morocco

Bonjour.
Now I'm in Marrakech,Morocco.
I spend a week's holiday of my company in this country.
I haven't upgrade this blog for a long time,so I try it with free feeling here.
I want to write much by using Japanese lungage.
But I can't use it here,and in addition,it's hard for me to use keyboard of French spec.

Yesterday morning(6/24 AM 9 local time:time difference between Tokyo and Morocco is 9hours),I arrived at Casablanca in Morocco by air.
Total flight from Haneda to Casablanca is about 20hours via Kansai,Doha by using Qatar airline.
I use this airline for the first time,I think it's nice service.
Recently Qatar air make an alliance with ANA,so mileage traveled by using this airline are added frequent flyer program of ANA,and I did so this time.

And in Casablanca.
I directly came to Marrakech by train from airport of Casablanca(it takes 4hours),without staying in Casablanca.
Because I thought instinctively it's not interesting there.
Casablanca is famous for movie...

In Marrakech.
The old town(called "Medina" in Arabian country)of Marrakech is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Markets of Medina(called "Souk" in Arabian country)have an atomosphere of energize,exciting,crowded,historical,traditional,caos and so on.
All of people in here are many kinds of business.
For example,it's peformer of snake,entertainer,craftsman of traditional item(cattle and sheep leather,shoes),artisan of metallic item and so on.
Sorry,it's difficult for me(my poor English) to explain everything about medina and souk.
Anyway,it's nice.
But here,it's hot during the daytime,so I get tired easily when I walk outside.

Tomorrow,I will join a tour(3days-2night) of the Sahara Desert.
A little while ago,I entered this at the tourist office.
This plan is to go over Atlas mountain from Marrakech,to pitch a tent and spend night in the Sahara Desert and so on.
I'm very looking forward to this.
I will feel grand and free more and more.

and show the picture in this web after back to Japan.
maybe good pic...

enjoy the rest.
Bye.
