				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were aware that the way to <a title="Chefchaouen (Wikipedia)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chefchaouen" target="_blank">Chefchaouen </a>would be long, accordingly we planned to leave quite early and to pick up the &#8220;<a title="Société Marocaine d'Ingénierie Touristique" href="http://www.smit.gov.ma/" target="_blank">SMIT</a>&#8221; team in <a title="Rabat (Wikipedia)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabat" target="_blank">Rabat</a>. The aimed departure time of 4:30 P.M. was missed by one hour (that was expected somehow and nobody is to blame). So, we met our colleagues at the same shopping mall as Wednesday and filled our stomachs at the food court. When we wanted go continue our ride we realized that the hotel staff had not put the bags of the SMIT team into the bus as planned.</p>
<p><a href="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/chef_missing_bags_1024.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-180" src="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/chef_missing_bags_1024.jpg" alt="Long journey, long faces..." width="1024" height="613" /></a></p>
<p>But it was too late for going back, we already made almost 2 hours drive. We decided to ask a hotel taxi to bring the bags to where we stayed at the moment &#8211; a transport up to Chefchaouen was no option. So we waited&#8230; and waited&#8230; and waited. At 10:30 P.M. the driver finally arrived with the missing items.</p>
<p>It was late and our poor bus driver still had a long distance yet to overcome. It seemed that to prevent falling asleep he cruised much aggressively on the curvy roads up to the hilly region of Chefchaouen. Even though some of us almost got motion sick we were grateful for the fastest possible way to our destination, which we reached at around 2:30 A.M. in the night.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following mail made me to shout a loud &#8220;YES!!!&#8221;:</p>
<p><a href="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/articles/csc_mail_accepted_600.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19" src="http://morocco.chickenfactory.ch/wp-content/uploads/articles/csc_mail_accepted_600.png" alt="Accepted!" width="600" height="255" /></a></p>
<p>Now, a time of waiting and uncertainty will start. When will I go on assignment? And even more thrilling: Where? Participants cannot chose their preferred assignment country, but I could mention the region of preference. I gave &#8220;Middle East and Africa&#8221; the highest priority, as I have already been in Asia (10 months in India) and for South America I felt that the missing language Skills in Spanish or Portuguese would be a drawback. But maybe a French speaking African country? Let&#8217;s see&#8230; .</p>
