				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today was a very intensive day. During the French breakfast in the hotel some new faces appeared; it doesn&#8217;t matter how well the profile pages have been created and how up-to-date the Sametime picture is &#8211; meeting from face to face is different&#8230; and nice!</p>
<p><a href="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/articles/swiss_chocolates_300.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-105" src="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/articles/swiss_chocolates_300.jpg" alt="Gifts from all over the world" width="150" height="120" /></a>Imane from DOT and Nabil from IBM set up an informal meeting where they provided as new information and time to introduce us in personal. Amazing and funny stories we&#8217;ve heard! And it was a very profitable session, too: at the end we got gifts from all over the world (obviously I brought Swiss chocolate!). <img src="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>
<p>Afterwards we got ready for a first city walk in Casablanca. For now, we skipped the Medina (old town) as it would be pretty crowded at Saturday and headed towards the port and caught a glimpse at <a title="Hassan II Mosque (Wikipedia)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassan_II_Mosque" target="_blank">Hassan II Mosque</a> with it&#8217;s world&#8217;s tallest minaret (210 m) &#8211; we&#8217;ll come again tomorrow.</p>
<p><a href="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/articles/casa_kemia_300.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-107 size-medium" src="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/articles/casa_kemia_300-225x300.jpg" alt="Kemia - similar to Tapas in Spain" width="225" height="300" /></a>We fought the hunger in a nice garden restaurant where some of us tried &#8220;Kemia&#8221;, an array of small dishes (similar to &#8220;Tapas&#8221; in Spain). Very tasty lunch &#8211; we shared many bits among us, everybody is eager to enhance his own Morocco experiences.</p>
<p>We returned quite late and pretty tired &#8211; she called many of us &#8220;slow walkers&#8221;, whereas others had the impression she was running. <img src="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":-D" class="wp-smiley" />  Anyway, after a short refreshing in the hotel room (and changing sneakers to elegant / black shoes) Imane organized her brother and two taxies for a ride to the <a title="SKY28 @ Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/sky28tower" target="_blank">SKY28</a> at the &#8220;Twin Towers&#8221; of Casa. Big windows allowed a great view over the city, mirrors on the roof funny selfies.</p>
<p>Thanks Imane for this amazing Casablanca experience!</p>
