Kindness

Revelations from a Tuesday morning's work:

1. Rubber suction cup. It is the pointy rubber thinggy under your laptop's keyboard's key.

2. It serves a grand purpose-enable you to make contact with the electric circuit board beneath your keypad without short circuiting it.

3. The smarter thing to do when your keyboard malfunction while it is still under warranty is not to try and repair by yourself. Being the smart alec, I had to pry out the faulty key AND pluck out the rubber suction cup to tap on the electric circuit board circuit. This works for my backspace button but not my escape key. Now, I am left with the rubber suction cups and keys and a void warranty (for the keyboard component).

4. Acer must earn an incredibly high profit margin from selling keyboards. It costs S$90 for that piece of  plastic.

In other news, shuttle bus drivers at the International Business Park are incredibly kind. One pointed out that I got on the wrong bus and the other was quite apologetic that I had to pay for the ride (he figured that I made a wasted trip to fix my keyboard here hahahah).

Chefchaouen & Asilah

When I first saw photos of Chefchaouen in travel guidebooks, I knew I had to come here. The entire town is painted in lovely hues of blue and reminded me much of Greece minus throngs of tourists. 

W and I took the ONCF train from Marrakesh to Tangier and then arranged for a local guide to pick us up from Tangier train station to Chefchaouen as we were on a tight schedule. 1.5 days should be sufficient to cover this charming town.
