This year we travelled around in Morocco-Africa. One of the most mystique places I have ever been was the Djemaa El Fna Squrae in
Marrakech . The famous town square
Djemaa El Fna, owes little of its fame to its own beauty, but to the continuous day and night life. During most of the days, perfomers of every kind put up their shows, continuing until the food stalls start to move in. From the Djemaa El Fna there are several entries to the fantastic suuqs, and for anyone who needs to relax for a while, there are plenty of cafés around the Djemaa El Fna, where the main attraction is looking at the ongoing activities.Jemaa el-Fna owes most of its fame to the large number of spectacles going on all around all the time. Snake charmers, singers, story tellers, healers and fakirs attract a dominantly Moroccan audience. The food stalls take over the Jemaa as soon as the orange juice sellers have packed up and gone home. The food is prepares from fresh on the spot, and you can choose between fish, meat or vegetable dishes. The concept is easy, you point at everything you desire, indicate the quantity, and within few minutes it is there in front of you. The food is exquisite, tasteful and much appreciated by Moroccans and brave tourists. Never forget the good rule of eating in
Morocco : eat where the Moroccans eat — they know where to get good food! Esther became her first Henna tattoo ever on this square.

vette Shit!
yah. girls in our part of the world like henna a great deal. on the occasion of religious festival, specially in rural areas, girls of all walks of life like to artistically paint their hands with this henna thing. but the most customary practice of henna occurs during the wedding ceremonies. Both hands of the bride become a canvass for the henna artist to draw beautifully intricate impressions. well-off people send the bride to beauty parlor to get it done by professionals. yah. they certainly make a big deal out of it. :tongue1_tb: the reddish brown impression that’s left by henna doesn’t look that bad. but i don’t like the smell of it. gives me headache.
esther, did you ask the lady what she was babbling about while painting your hand with henna? :lol_ee:
well, shall i tell you something? the henna is very warm! and it tickles and pricks and… it seemed to burn a little, but thats only something in my head, when it dries it shrinks so my skin “shrinks” too…
but i liked the result!
its a really strange feeling on your hand
and about what the woman said? i will never know, unless someone can tell me…
maybe she was gossiping about me
i liked my time in morocco
