Off-topic: Marrakech

Dont know if you ever felt being a tourist. Just an outsider. Different. If someone should think they know everything about people and interact with the most solid self-confidence, I suggest to go to Africa. My adventures were in Marokko, last week more precisely, thanks to a half-priced last minute drive into the "world of Tui". In Marrakech, more specifically, which was like a page from a school-book about inequalities.
In our slightly globalised and europeanised worlds, where I, as an Eastern european proudly felt the most "different", Marrakech was a revelation about the difference and hence force of survical of human societies (sorry for this sentence). It is the first time I really felt a "tourist", a tourist in the complete sense of the world, meaning, I could not just mingle with the locals, I was not allowed to do as they did and overall this strange feeling of being associated with... the colonisers.
There is the big square, to start with.
In every big city, there is one (some) big squares, and Marrakech is no difference. The Grand Place in Brussels, the area around the H&M shop in Graz :), the Ramblas in Barc. Where everyone rushes immediately when they arrive. To see It. Well, we went to see the famous big square, the Jamaa el Fna in Marrakech, at 10:30 at night (when we arrived) and were slightly dissapointed. Nothing except some girls wanting to put Henna on your hands. No amazing facades, palaces or anything. I only understood on the last day, why.
