Imane and her brother met us IBMers in the hotel lobby and guided us through the city of <a title="Tangier (Wikipedia)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangier" target="_blank">Tangier</a> ("Tanjah" in Arabic) to the coast, the <a title="Caves of Hercules (Wikipedia)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caves_of_Hercules,_Tanger" target="_blank">Caves of Hercules</a> (which were closed unfortunately) and to the <a title="Cafe Hafa" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caf%C3%A9_Hafa" target="_blank">Cafe Hafa</a> (opened in 1921) where we got sweeeeet coffee and mint tea and could take a look at the close Spanish coast.

Later we entered the medina of Tangier via the <a title="Kasbah - Fortress in an islamic city (Wikipedia)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasbah" target="_blank">Kasbah</a>, where a street dealer offered t-shirts for 100 DH (US-$ 12.-) - not that I really wanted one, but I was already bargaining. I made him down to 60 DH (US-$ 7.-) finally. That's the nice part about bargaining - both parties have the feeling of a good deal. It doesn't matter to me that it was for sure the seller's better business (Seven Dollars for a t-shirt with cut-off "Made in"-label??? From the street??? ... I'm really an amateur currently... ).

Before we left back to Casablanca the team was invited at Imane's (from <a title="Digital Opportunity Trust" href="http://www.dotrust.org/" target="_blank">DOT</a>) place for Moroccan snacks, sweets and tea. Thank you Imane for the hospitality!
