My Trip to Morocco

Hey friends,

I just came back from a 10 days trip to morocco. I had the ACM Arab and North Africa programing competition. Our team was Me, Jad and Farouk and it was called LAU Gurus! the competition was held on Saturday 2/12/2006. Farouk and the other teams left Morocco on Sunday 3/12/2006.

I stayed me and Jad to enjoy the trip a little bit. We met some great friends who helped us discover nice places there. On Thursday, my Dell Inspiron Laptop was stolen. Someone has broken the door of our apartment and stole my Laptop case which contains my laptop, my passport and some cash. I had to stay few more days there to get a Laisser Passer from the Lebanese embassy and buy another ticket.Autumn Leaves in Morocco The negative was that all my projects, my Final Year Project, my job and all my data was gone :( but, Sara, my friend, was always there to help me find my laptop back and we spend amazing time together which made me forget this big issue! The thief was Youssef el Krid, a student in AUI who was under drug effect and most probably he needed some money to buy some cocaine! I called the Moroccan Prime Minister’s relative and he’s gonna send some agents to Ifrane to help me get my laptop back… I’m back to Lebanon now and trying to manage without my laptop! This is a brief story of what happened with me during this trip which was a really great experience. “Thanks so much Sara for everything and planning to see you again soon!”

And thanks to everyone who asked for my number in morocco and called me! Really thanks!

I’ll keep you updated!

    I googled ACM+Ifrane and got your blog as a result! Love to read about other group’s memories there, (Im looking for pictures to be more honest;p) although yours are quite depressing, a lost laptop.. that it? hope you found it by now inshallah :-)

    Gurus..sounds familiar! I think one of you guys told me that you solved 4 probs, way to go.
    We proudly solved two, but intending to solve 15 next year, God willing :p How do you find time to practice with all those guitars around :-)

    Please if you got any pictures or somethin’ post them on ur blog or send them to me personally if you don mind :D I love collecting memoriez and stuff, bla bla.. :-)

    Keep up the hard work,
    peace.

    That is really bad luck what happened to you.. I hate when these things take place on holydays and then all the good memories lose their value.. Its interesting how I ran into your story now, and yesterday my boyfriend lost him laptop. But it was more of his fault as he forgot it in a sports bar :s..
