So you want to know my exact address in Fes- here it is:
Apartment 16 on the 6th floor of the building above the chinese restaurant close to the train station. Or if you are speaking to a Moroccan "l'appartment sitesh fee sixieme etage fqt l restaurant chinois qrb min l gar" .

I haven't tried yet sending a letter through the post to this address but my Moroccan friends have assured me that this address (more than the actual # and street name of my apartment) is much more likely to get something delivered to my place. I actually don't e ven know the name of my street.

As for the apartment itself, it has its pluses and minus. Pluses include a huge Terrace, beautiful Moroccan paintings, DSL!!!, a modern refrigerator and TV and LOTS of space. The minuses include being on the 6th floor and having a broken elevator, the lack of air-conditioner, and the slight smell of chinese food that always lingers on the first floor near the entrance...but all in all the pluses are WAY more than the minuses and I am happy to have a wonderful new place here in Fes!!
