I Love Morocco
I just arrived in Marrakech, Morocco, for the AfroCIO conference organized by my good friend Abdeljawad. This is my second trip to this country, and I must say that I am as impressed as last time. Immediately after you clear customs at the Marrakech-Menara Airport, you’re greated by a couple of ATMs that will dispense the cash you need for a taxi ride to your hotel. The cab rate is fixed, and the hotel provides free Internet access over WiFi, without any login screen. Perfect! What a contrast with what I had to go through in Paris earlier in the day! No ATM, cabs don’t take credit cards, and toilets are virtually impossible to find, and when you do find them you have to pay for it. It felt like I was back in the twentieth century. And it sure looks like Morocco is moving full speed into the twenty first. Very cool…
