Morocco: 10 Tips for Living in Morocco:

I arrived in August '08 and have been living and working in Casablanca since then. 1) Finding a job: I arrived with a job already but I feel that languages especially English, French and Spanish are in demand and you can easily find a job in a language centre. Some of them do not require you to have a teaching certificate, only that you are a native speaker. 2) Transport is a problem in Morocco, so if you don't drive which is my case, be prepared. Buses are few and far between and very crowded. Taxis are difficult to find too, sometimes the taxi driver takes 2 or 3 passengers that are going in the same direction so don't freak out if this happens. You can also stop a taxi even if it has a passenger in it. They will stop for you and take you if you are going the same way. 3) Finding a place to rent. This was difficult because I live with my partner and we are not married. We had to be patient and in the end we found something. You need to also take into consideration that the Estate Agent charges the tenant a finder's fee. So they usually ask for 1 month in advance, 1 month deposit and 1 month finder's fee for the agent. Check out web pages like: maroc-particulier.com (excuse my French)http://www.maroc-particuliers.com/afficher.php?idcat=1. There are many others where you can deal directly with the owner which simplifies things.

Uruguay: I´m moving to Casablanca:

Hi Everyone, I´m moving to Casablanca in August 2008 with my boyfriend. I´ll be working in a neighbourhood called Oasis in Casa. Do you know of any cheap hotels or hostals in that area, so that I can start to search for an apartment or room to share once I get there? Has anyone been through this experience. How did it go?

Morocco: Roomate wanted:

Hi Merina, Did you find a place to stay in? I'm arriving to Casablanca on the 23rd August with my boyfriend. If you still want some flat mates, let me know. riana.lopez@hotmail.com
