Poutine party at the Villa!

Last year my quebeccan friend Jean Sebastien told me about the Poutine, a sauce that they put on a typical dish made with chips and Raclette cheese. Even if he told me that it’s not good, we spoke so much about this sauce that i wanted to taste it.
So, when Marie Andrée, a girl from Quebec in mission here like me at Ubisoft, told me that she had brought with her some Poutine bags i said “Ok, i HAVE to taste it!”
So…let’s do a party!

L’anno scorso il mio amico canadese Jean Sebastien mi ha parlato della Poutine, una salsa che usano per condire un piatto tipico composto da patatine fritte e formaggio Raclette. Mi ha detto che non è un gran che, ma ne abbiamo parlato talmente tanto spesso che mi ha fatto venire voglia di provarla.
Così, quando Marie Andrée, una ragazza canadese anche lei in missione qui alla Ubisoft Marocco, mi ha detto di aver portato con se delle bustine di Poutine da fare in casa…le ho detto che volevo ASSOLUTAMENTE assaggiarla.
E qual’è il modo migliore se non quello di fare un party in Villa?

Weekend in Marrakech

Some weeks ago I escaped (yes, again!) from Casablanca.
Every week-end is good to visit Marocco and now is Marrakech’s turn.

The city is exactly as you can imagine and it’s incredible how it pulses of life: marketplaces, snake charmers, acrobats…For those that know enough the esoteric architecture, well I think Marrakech is the heart of Morocco… and it is not by chance that all the buildings are red.

I’m really glad to have been there.
I don’t know if this is the real Morocco, but Marrakech is like I imaginated it. I can’t describe it, you have to be there, walk in the small streets of the Souk (the market), eat in the big square at the sunset, sleep in one of its enchanting Riads.
It seems to be inside an One Thousand and One Nights’s story…unfortunately I didn’t find a magic carpet…I’m still searching!

	Thomas, Henry…please! We are on holiday, stop to play DS!!
	Our Riad…simply amazing!!
	Snakes and cobras…and one meter from me
	I love this picture
	A picture of moroccan sweets…it didn’t miss!
	The main square of Marrakech
	The force is with you young Skywalker…but you are not a Jedi yet!
	Mmm…probably here i could find a magic carpet
	Great! We are lost in the middle of the Souk!
	I’m ready for the desert!
	Fabien, Marie-Andrée and me in front of the main Mosque
	The holiday is over. Tomorrow will begin the Ubi Campus and Fabien has to prepare his first lesson!

A Sunday afternoon in Casablanca

This week-end i had been so lazy to leave Casablanca, even the pollution is still a problem for me.
I spent a nice afternoon lunching at the Sqala (a nice restaurant near the harbour) with Thomas and Marie-Andrée and visiting the old medina markets.
Was very relaxing…all things considered Casablanca is not so bad…

Lunch in Marrakech

A video about a moroccan guy eating italian pasta…and an italian guy eating moroccan food…LOL!!!

	At the market you can find every kind of spices…and not only…
	This is the “real” Kebab, not the one in Milan!
	Dinner…”Chez François”, a very good and homely restaurant inside the medina.
	All of us!

Casablanca, Morocco

After only ten days…I have left Italy again for another country: Morocco.
I’ll be here for the next 4 months to work at the Casablanca Ubisoft office.

	Before entering in Morocco we have to answer to some questions: why you are here? You are a terrorist? And so on…
	Palm trees at the Casablanca airport…I took a picture of a cop while he was doing a fine to an italian car…but here we can’t take pictures (because terrorism) so i had to remove it from my camera. I’m here for not even one hour and they already know me…LOL
	Advertisement at the airport…mmm…something is telling me talking here will be funny
	My home for the next months. Company has given us a car too, the one in the picture.
	Dinner with Camille, Yacine and Damianji. Pier took the picture.
	Pier and Damianji are playing with X-Box. Damianji has to train for the course in Paris…yes…Game Design is an hard work!
	Dinner at the Caffe Mauri…the best almond juice in the world!
	Shopping at the Marjan mall….what? Unbelievable!! Here they still sell Olivetti PCs!!
	Hassan II, the second biggest mosque in the world.
	In the mosque’s square…only muslim people are allowed to enter inside.
