Instead of going to Seychellez 4.5 hrs going and coming back as a regular turn around flight, I swapped it out for a never been destination...CASABLANCA, MORROCO!!! I have been told that Casablanca is a really bad flights, passengers are demaning etc...well but for me i found this flight sooo much easier than UK or other Indian flights...really, even they are demanding but still I managed to answer all the call bells and meet their requests...as a team in Y/C we worked so hard but we kept the work load equally fair!
Upon our arrival to the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Casablanca, was a nice hotel but small room...anyway, cost saving for the airlines! Three of us (one from brazil and one from UK) we went to have a typical morrocan bath which means they scrub your skin and remove all dead skins we got for yearrrrrs...was quite weird though...they asked us to remove all cloth except underwear and then send us to the steam room to open our poles for about 10 minutes then one guy for each one...(not sexual thing hey~man to man and woman to woman, we were in a male only area and the other girl she was sent to female area alone...poor her~) the morrocan asked me to lay down so he could start with his technique scrubbing my skin with some tough and raugh cloth...here and there...without touching my prohibited area! of course not!!! Sometimes i felt painful and but relaxing since someone is washing me away those dirts! hahahaha~the other brazilian crew he felt the same, but was his idea to come to do this exceptional bath, if something bad happened here, he would be in trouble with me! hahaha~thanks god we came out from Le Pacha Spa with a new skin and fresh touch...feeling like a baby hey~
At night we went to have a typical morrocan tea which is made of mint, taste sweet but refreshing at the same time~! Unfortunately people in morroco don't speak much english, only arabic and french...sometimes italian...anyway, none of us speak their language therefore body language was applied once again to get our meal choice! This is the funny thing travelling around the world meeting different culture and people. That's how I like being a steward!When you go to Casablanca, you can't skip without visiting the biggiest mosque in the world called "Hassan II". The Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca was completed in 1993 after great expense and artistic labor, and the result is one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world. Its gleaming newness and tremendous wealth is a stark contrast against the rest of Casablanca. Designed by French architect Michel Pinseau, construction of the Hassan II Mosque began in July 1986 on land reclaimed (without compensation to the former residents) from a run-down area near the sea. The goal for completion of the mosque was King Hassan II's 60th birthday in 1989, but it ended up not being finished until August 30, 1993.
It is really amazing also a big wide square where you have to aross to approach the mosque, marvellous construction along with the arabic and north african belief, come to a big picture in front of me, this is just a moment to feel their pride in Morroco!
