Morocco - First Days

Whose silly idea was it to go to Morocco I wonder ?!

After arrival, we took a taxi from the airport and it took 20min ride,
in a taxi which had no front lights and the speedimeter did not work,
to arrive to Agadir. Agadir is a modern type city on a coast, as it
wad almost fully rebuilt after 1960 earthquake. The driver dropped us
in a wrong place and we tried to find our destination but the maps
were somehow misleading, therefore we ended up a number of times in a
completely wrong places. Interestingly, though the time was well after
midnnight, many stopped on the street to check if we are not lost and
if we need some help. For me, being precausious, seeing two guys on a
half broken bike asking if we need help was a bit strange, and I
kindly declined the help. The following day I realised that being nice
and friendly is part of their culture, and when we did ask for help;
all of them helped.
Agadir is a gods-forgotten-place with almost nothing to do and many
taxi drivers trying to wrip off fresh tourists. Funny enough, it is
something like 20dirhams to travel from one side of the city to the
opposite.
Finally, we tried the Tajin - local food prepared in a ceramic dishes,
cooked on fire. We had one with fish, reminded a carp, for branch and
a chicken version for dinner. A place we can very recommend is close
to the hotel Sinibad, on the same side, down the street, just after a
juice shop.
We also tried entering a Mosque but women at the entrance stopped us,
the locals later explained us that mosques are off limit for tourists;
I wonder if it is true everywhere.
Now we are in a very stinky bus, heading to Easoueera for 50dirhams
per person, and drimming of a mint tea with exsessive sugar (at least
I do!) :)

Morocco is also a beautiful place to go. Life is full of joys. But there are some health problems as Bleeding Hemorrhoids witch needs hemorrhoids treatment to cure it.
