Best Photography Apps for Android Phones

Posted on April 17, 2012 by DM

I’ve been using Android phones for the past two years and I have used several Photography Related Apps. After two years of buying Apps, I found out that each App excels at different function and you can use the app depending on the function you want. All of the pictures below are taken while I was traveling.

Instagram (FREE):

Morocco Trip: Yves Saint Laurent’s Majorelle Garden

Posted on February 19, 2012 by DM

Cactus in Jardin Majorelle

I visited Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech. It’s a garden that was established by French painter, Jacques Majorelle. Jacque Majorelle bought the land in 1924 and opened it to the public in 1947. The garden is filled with many kinds of interesting plants such as cactuses, bamboos, palms, etc. The garden was later purchased & restored by Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Berge. The garden has a Cafe, a gift shop & a Museum of Moroccan Art. It’s located on Rue Yves Saint Laurent. It turned out Yves Saint Laurent loved Marrakech and owned a house there. His ashes were scattered in this garden and they have a memorial dedicated to him.

Museum of Moroccan Art

 

Anyways, I loved the quiet atmosphere and looking at many kinds of cactuses. I never thought there were so many varieties of cactuses. There were kinds that I only saw in American Western Movies so it was very cool to see them up-close. :-) After having a relaxing walk in the garden, I went to the Cafe to drink Moroccan Tea. I don’t know why but after looking at the cactuses, I felt inspired. I want to have my own cactus garden now.  :-P

 

 

 

Enjoy More pictures below & Stay Tuned for more about the trip.   :-)

Morocco Trip: Argan Oil

Posted on February 15, 2012 by DM

Berber lady is cracking the nut to obtain the argan

Honestly before visiting Morocco, I had never heard of Argan oil (زيت أرجان) so here is a little info. Argan trees are only found in Morocco & some parts of Algeria. They live for 150-200 years. They produce fruit which take one year to mature. There are oil-rich seeds in inside the Argan nuts that Berber people rely on to make their living. Berber people manually extract the oil from the nuts to sell it and they also use it as a replacement for olive oil.

Ourika River in Marrakech

When I was in Marrakech, we took 1.5 hour car trip to Ourika River (نهر اوريكا). The view was beautiful. Atlas mountain tops were filled with snow & it was cold. I enjoyed breathing the clean air. Honestly, when I planned to visit Morocco, I expected to see deserts Not Green scenery and mountain tops of snows so it was a wonderful surprise :-)

Morocco Trip: Food & Restaurants in Casablanca & Marrakech

Posted on February 9, 2012 by DM

View of the tables in La Fibule in Casablanca

Today’s post is about the food in in Casablanca & Marrakech. I love Moroccan Food but the food in there didn’t meet my expectation. I went to several popular restaurants but the food was mostly average. I felt the food lacked proper spices. Maybe, I am used to fusion cuisine where they mix Moroccan spices with other Middle Eastern spices. In every restaurant I went to, Tajin Meat with Black Plums (طاجن لحم بالبرقوق) was the best dish we ordered. Moreover, wherever restaurant we went to, the meat was always tender & soft. Even though the food was kind of disappointing to me, the design & decoration of each restaurant were truly fascinating. The walls were carved and colored by hands. You can feel that you are in Morocco. Considering,  Kuwaitis love having their pictures taken & posting them on BB, Facebook, instagram, etc. You will never be disappointed. You will have your share of photo sessions like I did.  :-P

Shots of Al-Mounia Restaurant in Casablanca

Anyway, the first Moroccan restaurant we went to was Al-Mounia in Casablanca. The atmosphere and the interior design were great. I loved them. When I got in, I really felt I was in Morocco. They have indoor and outdoor areas. We arrived for dinner so they were only serving indoors. I am not sure when do they open the outdoors area. Good thing we arrived around 7pm because at 9pm the restaurant was FULL. So if you plan to have a late dinner, you might want to reserve a table before going there. We ordered several dishes. Some were good and some were average. And Ladies, prepare your cameras to have photo sessions indoors & outdoors.  :-P

Morocco Trip: Casablanca Old Souks & Morocco Mall

Posted on February 8, 2012 by DM

Alhobous Souk in Casablanca

One week ago, I returned from a trip to Casablanca & Marrakech in Morocco. I must say Marrakech is a Must-see city. I fell in love with the country and its people & I want to visit them again. The country is Green & beautiful and the people are kind. Honestly, I’ve always heard some awful stories about the people and what I saw was Exactly the opposite. Out of all Middle Eastern countries I had visited, they were the most sincere and kindest people I had ever met. My family think I was bewitched. :-P I really can’t stop talking about how beautiful the country was & how kind the people were.
