from Helsinki to Casablanca…

Monday, January 24th, 2011


I was in Helsinki from Tuesday till Saturday – now back in Casablanca.

I was organizing things – we’re going to move back to Helsinki at the end of March.

There was still a lot of snow…

I had a technical problem from Sunday evening till Monday midday.

I was not able to read nor sign into my blogs,

you were not able to read/leave comments.

Now everything seems to be normal again.

 

It’s nice to be back! :)

We had a long walk on Sunday.

Corniche Casablanca was too crowded

so we only went there to shoot pictures… :)

My regular readers know that we’re moving at the end of March.

I’ve started to pack already!

Or sort of.

I’ve checked so far all my make-ups – every single item. Half empties gone to rubbish.

Still a lot to do.

What you’ve been doing after holidays?



 

WARNING to all expats moving to Casablanca, Morocco

Wednesday, October 27th, 2010


We’ve lived in Casa soon 7 months.

I have nothing good to say how housing is taken care of in this city.

Owners are greedy and don’t keep their word.

They are worst of all countries we’ve lived!

TRUST is totally unknown word here.

 

What I’ve experienced corruption, nepotism are far more important than the work people are hired for.

Everywhere else, even in Egypt!!!, we were treated better!

I had to clean the cooker. It was cleaned but still disgusting.

 

expat life in Casablanca Morocco by BLOGitse 2

Our oven doesn’t show the temperature how it should.

They have not found a correct button.

Nobody says nothing.

SILENCE is normal way to take care about things here.

Water leaking in our master bathroom. Still water in the constructions? :) !

NOBODY CARES!!!!

Our landlord promised that this cabinet door will be fixed. Not done.

He promised other things too but not done.

WE should’ve KNOW that this water heater is wrongly installed!

It should be UPRIGHT!

We can have only a half shower with hot water!!!!

During the summer it wasn’t that important.

I thought hot water was ‘finished from the house’ – I didn’t realize that

all our hot water is in this tank and it’s wrongly installed. How stupid I am.

 

We have complained about ALL the issues about this flat,

here’s the answer we got:


“If the appartement presents and shows all these problems

why did you choose to take it at all?”

 

How can we know BEFOREHAND that there’s water going to leak from upstairs?


How can we know that ALL PROMISED things by landlord should’ve done BEFORE moving in

and NOT TO T R U S T his word?

Whose  job is it to make sure the owner keeps his word?

Who should support US?


Now we are accused that all this shit is OUR fault!

 

I’m so fed up with people here. Everything is always someone else’s fault.

I have not met ONE single person here who would say ‘I’m sorry, it’s MY fault.’ NONE!

 

I’m almost ready to leave the country and never come back.


This is the WORST place we’ve ever been.

We’ve NEVER EVER been treated as BAD as here in Casablanca.

 


SHAME ON YOU!!!
