So my French pronounciation is terrible. So even when i can conjugate my verbs I mis-speak and it all comes out like an infinitive and I don't really know which preposition is which so i pretty much had the following conversation tonight:
Guy in the Royal Air Maroc Office) Good evening.
Josh) Good evening. I to search at Mr Hamid.
G) He isn't here now. He will be in at 1am.
J) In one hour? Ok. I to return.
[one hour elapses]
J) Good evening
G) Good evening.
J) I to search for Mr Hamid
G) He still isn't here. He'll be in at one in the morning.
J) Hmm. I to lose the notebook at the plane here. [show ticket stub]
G) When is your flight?
J) Here on 15 April
G) No when is your next flight.
J) on 3 May.
G) Then where is the problem?
J) I to lose the notebook at the plane.
G) I see. [retrieves notebook]
I could've kissed him when i saw it. I am overjoyed. I have three months of scribblings and scrawlings and the email addresses of probaly 100 people I met on my travels. Phew!
Life is good. I also found a hotel for half the price of the other hotel. And with better internet. And closer to the beach. And with friendly staff that showed me how to take the bus as opposed to expensive taxis.
I intend to stay here until Julie arrives - which is in 70 hours!

Wow, talk about a bullet dodged. I'm sure they find foreigner's language difficulty as we find Engrish.
Anyways, I'm enjoying your blog. You'll have to draw up a google map of your travels' paths.
