I must watch that Casablanca movie again.But I think Casablanca the city is heavily exoticised.Tak romantic mana pun the city.Bangunannya bersepah2 but then again, I just spent 6 hours there.I think the city is made famous by this song:

I fell in love with you watching Casablanca

Back row of the drive in show in the flickering light

Popcorn and cokes beneath the stars became champagne and caviar

Making love on a long hot summers night


I thought you fell in love with me watching Casablance

Holding hands 'neath the paddle fans in Rick's Candle lit cafe

Hiding in the shadows from the spies. Moroccan moonlight in your eyes

Making magic at the movies in my old chevrolet


Oh! A kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca

But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh

Please come back to me in Casablanca

I love you more and more each day as time goes by

Zubin: They only speak French or Arabic in Casablanca.Our Casablancan contact speaks English though (my travelling colleagues too speak both French and Arabic, much to my envy)
We have to go beyond English to enjoy this part of the world.

Yup, Morocco memang sounds so exotic.Rabat is another city to visit.5 hrs frm Casablanca.We didn't have time.I love their artwork.Very refined.

Yah, love story filem hitam putih memang hebat but becos' it's hitam putih, I tak berapa gemar nak nontonnya. :))

Hindi movies lagi best.But you are right, history mixed with love story memang menarik.Lagu dia pun best filem Casablanca ni.

You were not even born yet masa tu.Tengok kat mana filem ni?
