saturday night , u can go and give some charity to needy people
"Hé ! bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau.
Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau !
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois."
Arno, do you live there now ? or are you just visiting ? I assume Islamic Countries have different customs, especially since friday is a Holy Day..Didn't anyone explain to you ?.Maybe you better forget about fridays, and go out Saturday and Sunday..There must be something to do overe there, but I think " when you go to Morocco , do as the moroccans do " ..Good luck...
Thanks Gabri, I know the customs of islamic Countries and I respect. It s just that i m working during the week in Casablanca and it seems to me that there is nothing to do if you are alone. Nothing is made to meet people. As a consultant i'm pretty alone the whole day and at night if I go in a bar, its difficult to talk with people. Morocco is a country where the family is very important. If you don't have family or friends who can introduce you, it's very difficult. So for my week-ends i will continue tu return in Europe. Maybe in summer time it will be easier to find some friends.
Arno, I would feel uncomfortable in a Mosque also, but then again, I have never visited one..Perhaps they might be very friendly and approach you if you tell them you are a foreigner, who knows..
Well I see that everybody think that the key for finding people in Casablanca is to go in a Mosque. Or, even better, helping neady people (I allready pay my maid too much and she never come...). I really apreciate those solutions but i want to assure y'all that i will never go in a holly place just to find friends. If somebody go to a Mosque it's because he wants to PRAY (touristic visits not include)... Or maybe I have to launch a new sect for unfriendly casaoui, who can't go to a mosque just for relational reasons...
Arno, its a totally different way of life, we cannot begin to compare it with western society . It would be better if you had come to Morocco with someone you know, but hopefully as time goes by, you'll get to meet people , tourists maybe as the season for vacations approaches...Don't give up yet.
If you're working during the week, invite one of your co-workers/ colleagues to happy hour...I see that you use the term "casaoui" which tells me you're adapting...take a trip to La cote but be careful what you wish for...casaouiyat might be dangerous...they party hard! Good luck.
He thanks for your suggestions, Gabri : I know it s a different way of life but religious thing are not done for socialization. I'm sure if i ask a muslim what he think about me in a mosque for unreligious matter, he will think that i m crazy guy. I want to definitely close the fact that I m going to find people in a mosquee, that is totaly absurb; I d like to call that spiritual hyporisy.
Yani : Thank you also for your recommendation, but at I may say it before, I don t have co-workers or colleagues. If that was the case, I assure you that I would have already tones of friends. I ve travelled a lot since I arrive, mostly to Europe, I agree, but I ve been to Marrakech, Essaouira, Rabat, Fes, meknes and some others cities here in Morocco. I had a contact with hundreds of morocan, but i ve never been able to create contact here in Casablanca. But you are right, as spring is comming i ll probably met some people outside on the beach or somewhere else. As you told I m trying to adapt my self, I've visited every part of casablanca, from la corniche, to derb ghallef, to even the ship market in derb sultan (incredible), i start learning golf, i go regularly to luxurious place to see if there is any tourist which i can speak with, etc...
thanks to yall again, spring is arriving hoppefully,...
I suggest you take membership in a sport club (gym , tennis or swimming) since you can meet a lot of Moroccans and if you tell theme you are living alone they will probably invite you to their home or for going out.
There are a lot of Moroccan websites where you can fide information about where to go in Casablanca. Tray some of the Moroccan forums with members form Casablanca. There you could make some friends.
Good luck!
