The railway station situated in the centre of downtown. I reached the homestay I booked on Airbnb easily after ten-minute walking in accordance with the instructions given by the female owner. The house was warm and well-decorated with the local traditional taste. The couple was so friendly and asked me to have lunch with them.





I came out to hang around after the lunch and saw more and more people were gathering into the streets, but I didn't know what was happening at all. 







I thought it might be their big festival, so I tried my best to enjoy the moment. I realized they were celebrating one big event after I watched for a while. 







A lot of troupes played theirs owns' festive program not only to enjoy themselves but also to attract other people for the celebration.







Amy troops came out to patrol along the streets and many policemen observed the crowded people carefully back and forth.





Finally, I learnt people were waiting for Mohammed VI and he would attend the opening ceremony of parliament, so they queued in a long line to glance at him along the streets from the palace to parliament building.
