Casablanca×Montreal
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Casablanca uses the MAD (د.م.) and Montreal uses the CAD ($). Language shifts too — Arabic in Casablanca, English in Montreal. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.
