One day at a time

First of all and aabsolute must have and my current favorite is vietnamese coffee. You get two glasses - one with some condensed milk and a coffee filter on top (that makes coffee drip in to condensed milk) and then you get a glass with ice. Once all the coffee is filtered through you mix it with condensed milk and pour it over ice. Seriously perfect, and I can't wait for summer to drink this and enjoy it even more.

Caramelized pork salad, unfortunately I cant remember the exact name. And as for Amsterdam it was pretty cheap too - 9 euros. Anyway, the salad was amazing, healthy (i think so) and very very filling. 

While waiting you can give yourself travel ache by reading this book with the most amazing pictures of Vietnam and vietnamese food. 

If you ever in Amsterdam don't miss it. It's called Nghia n Nghia x Chow Amsterdam

After lunch we went to a vinyl shop, to wander around. Got some free posters and CDs.

For all melomans - its a heaven.

P.S. I need to work hard on my photogrpahy skills, obviously

So this time a call from Spain ! I travelled to Marbella to visit one of my friends who is staying there. I have never been there before so was soo excited ! We started our day with little exploration of the old town of Marbella. Old towns are my favorite thing in the world. Thats why I love Europe so much I guess.

Then of course we got a little tired and decided to sit down in the main square and just enjoy the sunshine. Here you can see the most amazing freaking thing in the world: FRESHLY SQUEEZED MANGO AND MELON JUICE. Where else could you get such a thing? No need to say, it was absolutely amazing.

I love meditteranean cities...

Freshest seafood platter out there... I love fresh food. Seriously. (I know it looks battery, but once you bit into it you know what im talking about)

And of course, after our food fiesta, being hedonists, we also need to have a little drink. 

friends who havent seen each other for ages + sangria + happy hour + sunshine = best afternoon

Plaza Naranja - Square of oranges. It does live up to the name I can tell.

So the following days in Casblanca and Marrakesch went pretty fast and uneventfully mainly due to heavy rain all the time and our araab hosts' love of sleeping (I mean when you wake up at 3 pm there is not that much left to do).

We did see Casablanca Mall which they are soo proud of since it is the biggest one in Africa. However when we visited it it was really empty and sad, I was not impressed at all. 

Finally on the road to Marrakesch !

Seriously - the best shit ever. Could come back to Morocco just for food. This was a different variation of the meatballs I showed you in the last post.

Breakfast in the airport after an amazing night out (went to a casino for the first time and went crazy in there!). After the casino we went to the markeet again around 5am to ask to buy some freshly squeezed orange juice just because IT IS RIDICULUOSLY AMAZING. Seriously, the best juice you will ever get AND only 40 cents ! 

However it was time for prayer and no one was there but after a long search we finally found some people who were willing to sell it for us, even though the market was not even open. In Morocco they will do anything for money.

Anyways, in the picture you can see the juice I was so hyped about and some Moroccan pancake with honey, was pretty good. 

Pretty damn amazing, right ?

That was the insides, still god damn amazing.

It's getting better and better. That is the view we had through the window. I wish someone could take me back right now...

The path from our room to the restaurant.. 

Time for some morrocan tea! They drink it everywhere and it is pretty amazing. However soo soo sweet.

Of course it is time to eat, everywhere in morroco before the meal that you actually ordered arrives - they bring out some fresh, most of the times home made, bread and butter and a mix of olives. It is so amazing and you have to watch out not to eat too much because actual meals taste even better and are huuge ! here you can see meatballs (on the left) and chicken couscous. I personally liked the meatballs better simply because chicken dish was bit too dry. However both of these dishes is a must try in morroco!

While waiting for our dishes to arrive, we enjoyed this view. You will see men standing and doing nothing for hoooours and hoooours everywhere in Morroco. 

Chefchaoune - famous for its blue colored houses througout the whole city. Apparently blue color, is a jewish teaching, for people to remind of god's power everywhere. It really is a magical experience to walk through a town that is all painted in blue. 

The city, however, is also famous amongst morrocan people for another eason too - apparently they grow the best hashish in the world. We might or might not tried to prove it ourselves.

The toilets are beautiful - even in the most dodgiest places. 

Off to our next destination - Casablanca.
