<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">April 14, 2013</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was a beautiful day for tennis in Casablanca- South Africa vs. Spain for the finals. It was definitely not the US open and the setting of Morocco for tennis is a bit odd, but it was fun. I attended with a few Moroccan couchsurfers and a visitor from Spain, Javier, who was also the photographer for the event. His job consists of following around all the professional tennis matches in Europe, London, and abroad. What an amazing job. While I love photography and I also have a passion for tennis-I could only imagine how incredible it actually is to to make that a profession. He appeared to be very happy with his job an life in general. It was a pleasure meeting him and discussing with another friend about Tangier and the hott mess Casablanca. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">With Javier being from Spain, we were cheering on the Spanish guy. At first, he was warming up, but the second set he made a grand comeback. The winner is unknown because we left a bit early. Usually, I would never leave a match early, but this was not the greatest tennis final. It was an average final on a Sunday funday. </span><br />

Being a luxury hotel lover and snob(Four Seasons, the Ritz, the Sofitel, the St Regis-the list goes on), I would make sure to give a true assessment of it all. </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">Overall, it met my expectations with the highlights being the restaurants, the beach, and the staff service. They are quite attentive, friendly, and they actually listen, which can be difficult to come by in Morocco(even upscale restaurants and hotels). While there are some parts I did not see, it seems they are doing a pretty good job over there therefore they get my stamp of approval and I will definitely go back. Highlights of the Day: the restaurant, the pool, dancing with the Moroccans, slot machines in the casino with the Koreans, the beach and sunset=)</span></strong> </div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>With the behavior of Arab men in Egypt, Morocco, and Turkey- it is really no wonder women wear veils and jilbabs in the Arab world. It is for religious purposes, as stated in the Koran to protect from men.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>From the Quran: "O Prophet, say to your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to tighten them on their mantle (Jilbab), they will be recognized faster and not molested. </strong></span></em><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<em><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>The Qur'an: Allah says: {O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers, to bring upon them their veils (Jalabibihinna): they will be soon recognized and not molested. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful} (33:).</strong></span></em><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Living in Muslim countries for almost a year now, it is evident to me that there is deep meaning and purpose behind wearing the veil. It has beauty, power, and protection. It makes a woman beautiful in a traditional, honorable way having a strong sense of cultural identity in ones place and society. Most importantly the veil creates this social distance between the woman and man. Women will usually sit next to women on the bus and train, women have their own area in the mosque, women have their own space in the hamams, and women have their own place in society. The social distance between the man and the woman is important to confirm the religious meaning of Islam.</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>While the veil is common in the Muslim world, it has also been a custom for Judaism and Christianity. Before the 1960s, it was customary for Roman Catholic women to wear veils or caps in to church. Also, the Virgin Mary-the mother of Christ was veiled. The purpose of the veil was again to "guard from the sinful men." </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>In Turkey, Egypt, and Morocco- I have open and honest discussions with women about the meaning of the veil. The main statement, which keeps being repeated is that the veil "protects from strange men." After first hand experience with the men on the streets and just in my lives, it is evident why women wear these veils to protect from the <em>men.</em> The strange men with open eyes staring right at you making you feel uncomfortable and a bit guilty or shameful. It makes you feel like you are exposing something to them or they have taken a piece of your female dignity and pride. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Often, I have become accustomed to walking out on the streets veiled on days I want peace. On days, I want to hide from men and I want to get the least amount of attention as possible. It does give me a feeling of protection and sense of belonging while decreasing the amount of attention from the <em>strange men. </em> While both men and women wear jilbabs and the men wear caps similar to a veil, it feels like the veil holds much higher importance and value for the woman to protect her. Men will wear the cap and women wear the veil and both represent Islam and keeping covered, but the veil has something special about it....</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;"><strong> <em>Something about the veil makes one feel protected....</em></strong></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>April 3, 2013 </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Next to my house, which is next to the Kings Palace they held the big ceremony for Francois Holland, The President of France's arrival to Morocco. The Royal red carpets were down, the flags were up, and the people were all waiting and watching. With it raining and having a student session, I was not able to make it over and watch, which is quite disappointing as it was all happening right outside my house. I have already seen the King and his palace is right next to my house, but I would have loved to see the official ceremony. Francois Holland seems to be welcomed by most and many people were talking about his arrival to Morocco. As far as his contribution, he has come to "reinvent partnership." </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>The relationship between France and Morocco is clearly an established partnership and Casablanca almost feels like France at times with the French schools, language, food, and culture. Although, in France it is unfortunate the treatment of Muslims and the anti-islamic hate crimes that are happening. It is interesting how their is such hatred and discrimination towards the Muslim population, but there is this "strong partnership" between countries. There are many French living in Morocco and Moroccans living in France yet there is a rivarly present between the two or perhaps misunderstanding. I hope his visit is productive and can help "reinvent a partnership" between both countries. Pris</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>From </strong></span><a href="http://www.marocpress.com/"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>www.Marocpress.com</strong></span></a><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>French president Francois Hollande is paying this April 3-4 a state visit to Morocco, seeking to “reinvent” partnership and new means that would maintain Morocco’s status as a “close and necessary partner” of France, sources and the Elysee say.</strong></span></div>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>“French-Moroccan relations are fluid, excellent and intense both at the political level and as far as bilateral cooperation is concerned”, the sources said, adding that the stake of the visit is very important as it would allow to act so as to maintain a high-level relation and to develop it in the years and decades to come, according to the sources.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>The message is clear: “We are Morocco’s first partner and we have to stay Morocco’s first partner, says the source which played down the progression in Spain’s trade with Morocco in 2012 at the expense of France as “a temporary situation”.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>We have to define future cooperation actions with Morocco, “an economic partner of the future”, commented the source.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>In addition to supporting the ongoing political and economic reforms, President Hollande’s visit ambitions to intensify the trend set three months ago in Rabat by the two countries’ high-level meeting co-chaired by Moroccan and French heads of government.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>This meeting announced over 10 agreements, including four loan agreements worth 280 million euros, extended by the French development agency to finance development projects (Casablanca tramway, regional port, technopoles competitiveness and vocational training).</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>The French president will, thus, encourage French businesses operating in Morocco to continue to invest in Morocco in renewable energies, transports, urban services, youth and education, the source said.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>There are over 750 affiliates of French enterprises in Morocco, including 38 that are listed on the French stock market. They employ around 120,000 persons.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Morocco is also the first destination of France’s private investments in Africa, with an amount of 5,6 billion euros in the 2000-2011 period.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>The French president’s party comprises around nine ministers who will sign agreements and contracts dealing with the food industry, higher education, city development, Casablanca metro, and vocational training.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>For France, Morocco is a regional hub for French enterprises wishing to develop projects in West Africa, the Mediterranean or the Maghreb.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>In this context and given Morocco’s central role within its region, France grants a large importance to re-launching the Maghreban construction and Euro-Mediterranean space, focusing on projects such as the trans-Maghreban highway and the reopening of land borders between Morocco and Algeria.</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>President Hollande is also accompanied by over 60 heads of enterprises who will attend the Morocco-France Economic forum.</strong></span></div>

from the North, I had come back to work with a couple students, but I mainly
returned to celebrate Easter in my church-Notre Dame Cathedral. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

at my usual time, my normal seat was occupied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As I looked around, I saw that each and every spot was filled. I circled
around and sat in the front near a few French couples. While I could not see
much, it was a better seat for me because I was closer to the priests and I
love to feel their presence next to mine. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #ff3399; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It
was clearly a special day, beautiful flower arrangements were set up in the
front and most people were dressed very nice for the occasion. Africans were
wearing their traditional outfits and headpieces, which consisted of bright
colors and different kinds of patterns. The French were dressed conservatively
and two older French women wore matching beige dresses-cute. The nuns were
wearing their normal attire and they looked lovely as always. The priests were
wearing beige robes with Jesus and Mary on the back.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wore a light pink cardigan and a purple top,
but I felt underdressed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Easter is a big
day for me and one of my favorite days of the year. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If this was the US, I would have bought a new
dress-most likely beige, light pink, or poca dots which I feel suit Easter the
best. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

church does a wonderful job on special occasions and Easter was no exception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The choire sang, “Allejuiah” and everyone
waived their arms back and forth. We held each others hands and sang together
in French. Having a different angle on the church, I sat and watched the faces
of everyone so captivated and so present with the words of the priest. The
priest came around and made sure to shake everyone’s hand-as they usually
do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The choire was singing wonderfully
as usual and they were so happy and alive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A couple of my favorite boys in the chorie were doing their usual
African dancing. The choire make it a special service and so do the
priests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They always add a bit of light
humor in the service, which I enjoy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While
I understand the common prayers by now in French, I cannot fully understand the
priest’s words, but it did not matter.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Savior Jesus Christ. As I sat and stared at the cross, I was happy and I was

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #351c75;">My morning
walks in Tetouan went right past the main graveyard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This graveyard was quite nice as it had the
backdrop of the mountains and was built on a hilltop. There is a long path,
which leads up to the door of the Medina. I had a few walks through this
graveyard pondering and reflecting on life and death.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Calibri;">One morning,
I saw a group of men all standing and chanting above a gravestone. I went closer
and saw women with tears in their eyes staring down beneath them at the deep
hole being dug in the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sat
behind them just observing and listening to their chanting. A man moved over
and made space for me and I sat staring at the hole in the ground. Apparently,
the time was up for this person and they left their loved ones behind feeling
sad and probably wondering, “Why did this happen?” </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Calibri;">Perhaps there
is no real reason for death rather it just depends on our fate. When our time is
up, our time is up and it cannot be altered by any means.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who die have a special feeling before
it actually happens-as if they are touched by an angel. While most would not spend their time at a graveyard, I wanted to witness the Arabic funeral, but I also wanted to confront death. I stared down at the hole in the ground six feet under and appreciated my presence-standing, living, breathing and alive. I also realized I did not want to be there six feet under rather I want to live and be six feet above ground. When you come up close and personal to death, you become thankful and appreciative to be alive. But you also feel that it is just not your time yet...but time will tell when that time will come....</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">In Tetouan, I
was unsure about going to see another movie as I felt like doing something
different. I passed by the church around 645pm and saw the door wide open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was clear what I was suppose to
do-service.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Calibri;">There is
only one church in Tetouan with the service being in Spanish with attendees
being Italian and Spanish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> It was so nice being able to understand the service and what was going on as I have become accustomed to French service. </span>It was such a
lovely, simple service consisting of about 15 people and three priests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two young girls were playing the guitar in
the front and singing. The priests came around and shook hands with each and
every person and I shook the hands with the nuns. There was a such a real connection and spritual presence of the priests, which felt really good. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Calibri;">As the service was ending, we did something different towards the end. We followed the priests around the church one by one until we reached the prayer area. This was the time to pray for those loved ones who had passed away. I was silent and I sat and observed everyone around me-the girls in the front with such beautiful stillness and spiritual presence. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Calibri;">It was so nice being part of a service, which again I could understand. Amen</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;">The Drive from Tetouan to Chefchouen can be described in one word-breathtaking. I knew there was beautiful landscape in Morocco, but this truly was amazing. The weather was perfect and the company was even better. We drove through the mountains, passed rivers, and little village towns. We stopped up in the mountains to have fresh milk, fresh butter, olive oil, and fish. It was like being back in the villages from my travels eating everything fresh from the source: the sheep, the cow, the chicken, and the olive tree. The chickens were walking around the house while we were eating and the kids of our friend were so sweet and kind. What a drive and what a nice time. </span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Often I think to myself, “Why don’t I
live in the North where I can speak Spanish.” Spanish is pretty much the second
language up North with a lot less emphasis on French.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>French has pretty much taken over all of
Casablanca. </span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the Northern cities of Tangier, Chefchouen, and Tetouan-they are right on the Mediteranean near Spain. Since Morocco and Spain are neighbors and many Spanish live and visit Tangier, Spanish has become the second language after Arabic. There are also many who speak Berber in the North as well. </span></span></b></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Calibri;">Since I have not spoken Spanish in a
few years, I worried about my comprehension, but I had many
conversations that went very well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> In the North, I found the speaking to be at a nice pace where I could comprehend and respond when appropriate. In some countries like Mexico for instance, they speak so quickly leaving my comprehension to not be very good.</span> </span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Calibri;">In Tetouan, Spanish came naturally and it was so great being able to COMMUNICATE with people clearly. I practiced speaking with the locals in the markets, stores, and with a new friend who teaches at Cervantes. While my Spanish needs practice, it is amazing all it all just comes back to me. </span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #741b47;">I must say that it felt so good TO
BE UNDERSTOOD. While I can speak a little French and Darija to get me around it
is challenging to have full conversations in French and Darija- I try, but it is challenging. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Being in Morocco for six months and at first coming and speaking No French and Darija-the language barrier presents its difficulty. Being in the North and being able to communicate-Wow, what a feeling! While communication can happen non-verbally, at the end of the day there is beauty in being understood. </span></span></span></span></b></div>

<span style="color: #0066ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There
is no secret that “Pris is in love.” There are men in Morocco that hold a
special place in my heart. Their presence fills my heart with joy and I just
love sitting and observing them in the medinas, sitting in cafes, working in
agriculture, or just walking down the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are truly adorable and melt my heart in a similar way that Indians
do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I look at them it brings a
flashback of my work with the elderly and the innocence of their beings-<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Islamic men and their jilbab absolutely adorable.</i>

<span style="color: #0066ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I
especially love those who have a jolly smile, glasses, a few extra pounds, and
walking with a cane and their flat cap on top of their head. In the medina’s, I
always find many of them walking around or coming out of the mosques. It is
pretty much guaranteed to make me smile when I see them. It is beautiful when I
witness them in moments of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stillness</i>,
contemplation, or religious reflection. While I must have respect and not take
photos directly, I sneak a few photos on occasion when they are not looking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will smile at them with a sense of wonder
in my eyes and many will give me that same warm smile right back. Of course,
there are those who are grumpy and look at me like, “What are you smiling at
girl?” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #0066ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
other day at the Corniche, I saw an old man who walked so slowly to his seat
with the assistance of his helper. He sat down with this face of relief and
just inner peace. There was also the one I sat next to on the bus from Tetouan to
Casa. He was looking for a seat and I pointed at the open seat next to me and
smiled. He sat the whole time just peacefully sleeping and sitting in silence and <em>stillness. </em></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #0066ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Often
I just get this feeling of inner peace from them as if they are just content
with their life, content with God, content with their place in the world. They
are religious beings who represent this inner peace, which is coming from their
religious faith.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are not in their
20s or 30s, but they are in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. They are grown men with
experience, knowledge, and wisdom. They have experienced their life and grown
into their true selves having a strong sense of religious identity and awareness
of place in their society.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #0066ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Perhaps this is what
draws me towards them- a sense of inner peace and walking with two feet solidly placed on the ground beneath them.... <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

and new friends enjoyed some nice socializing and cooking together. My host, Luciano, is from Morocco and his two friends from Italy were visiting along with new couchsurfing friends from New York. The beauty
of couchsurfing is the cultural exchange as there was conversation in Italian, Arabic, and English all happening at one time. We were dancing and making jokes with one another in Arabic. </span></div>

show in New York City with her friend, Dan, in red second from left. Claire seems to
be quite a traveler as she lives in Brooklyn, New York, but she said she
travels 3-4 months per year. She expressed her love for the Asian culture and especially the cuisine. For a long time, she has worked freelance, which
allowed her a flexible schedule to work and travel. She loves Thailand and
plans on quitting her job and moving there to explore Thai cooking with the
goals of starting her own Thai restaurant in New York of California. It is wonderful to see a beautiful,
independent girl living in her purpose- you go girl!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Medina’s of Morocco. Each major city in Morocco has a Medina.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Medina is my favorite place to go
interact with locals, try some different foods, try on jelabs, speak Arabic,
and just make people laugh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of
those working selling fruit, spices, clothes and perfumes are just genuine
human beings who are sweet, kind, and approachable. <o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The medina of Tetouan is a UNESCO
World Heritage site and is divided into three different sections: Andalusian, the Berber, and the Jewish. There are
homes, which have the Andalucian architecture and some with Berber influence.
I spent a couple hours speaking with a nice French couple who explained the history of Tetouan and the origin of the Berbers. The Berbers came to Tetouan before the Spanish developing their own language
and their own identity in ways. When you meet people who are Berber, they hold a strong sense of pride and always make the Berber distinction. </span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Within the medina, I walked into a few different Berber houses, which are converted into restaurants, hotels, or shops. The architecture is magnificent and consists of four rooms surrounding a big open space in the middle of the room with the sky light shining inside from the top. I admire the detail of the doors and the element of a royal home present in the design and structure. While I also loved the Andalucian architecture, the Berber homes are some of the oldest in the Medina, but by far some of the best. </span></span></b><br />

I ended up at the same door I started, which was not my intention. A couple boys on bikes walked me all the way to the city centre and this is where I was riding their bike through the medina and speaking Spanish. One of the Berber guys told me, "Keep riding beautiful all the way to India." I thought that was quite cute. These moments with locals and making such a funny scene in the medina, I often wonder, "Where are the video cameras for this?!"</span></span></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc66ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Such
a beautiful, beautiful day in Tetouan exploring the Medina, speaking with
locals, riding a bike through the medina and being comical “Excuse a Mois”
“Pardon” “Smehelia” “Buenos tardes” “Bonjour”. English, French, Spanish, and
Arabic used and smiles from the locals in the medina. At times, I found myself
frozen because I did not know, which language to speak. It was great visiting
the tanneries where they make leathers, purses, shoes, and accessories, but the
smell and vision of dead flesh all around was a bit nauseating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc66ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I
walked to the top of the viewpoint, which the view point is always, always
better if you hike up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It makes you feel
a sense of accomplishment, which then allows you to fully relax and take in the
beauty. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc66ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A
woman who looked like a tiny version of the Wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz
sat and spoke Arabic with me asking for money. I said, “No tengo dinero.” She
would then keep asking for money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
really did not have it as I only had a 200DH bill and that was not going to
her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people who live on the mountain
top wear straw hats and village like clothing with a pair of Moroccan
shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man is serving fresh Moroccan
mint tea to men who are playing chess and sitting at the viewpoint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc66ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There
were such moments of peace and reflection today. It was just what the doctor
ordered-fresh mountain air, silence, and calm, kind people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #9900ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Often
I do not have much luck when traveling out of Casablanca i.e it is raining or
something goes wrong. This time I got lucky with the Mediterannean Film
Festival happening upon my arrival to Tetouan. <br />
There are featured films from the Mediterranean-Portugal, Spain, Italy, France,
and Morocco with various locations in the city centre. Also, it is by far the
cheapest film festival with a 50DH fee for all the peliculas (movies) for the
whole entire festival. It runs for about a week in three different theaters in
Tetouan with the languages of the movies being Spanish, French, Arabic, or
Italian (obviously not English). <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #9900ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When
it comes to movies, Moroccans have a different viewing practice than
America.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is almost like a social hour
where people will talk, comment, answer their phones, shout across the theater,
singing, and gossiping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In one movie, there
were a group of girls even going in front of the screen and taking photos of
one another. It was a bit obnoxious I must say and luckily there was good
security removing them from the theater one by one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #9900ff; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I
had planned on seeing more movies, but
I decided to finish my movie ventures with the Moroccan movie behavior. I saw a Moroccan movie, an Italian
movie, and a Spanish movie. Watching the movies with Spanish subtitles has been
great as I get to practice my Spanish. My favorite movie was the older Spanish
movie from 1973 with a beautiful model and artist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The artist falls in love with the model and
then commits suicide because she leaves him and goes to France-tragic, but
beautiful- Ce La Vie. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After
all the ups and downs from the past couple weeks and the disappointment in
Casablanca, I decided that it was time to breathe some fresh mountain air up
North.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Off
I went on the bus with my new friend, Hamed, on a peaceful, quite bus ride
staring at the countryside and into the mountains. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We stopped and ate fish and harira soup
together and I sat with Hamed and the bus driver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As most Moroccans do, they kept saying, “Kooli,
Kooli”, which means eat, eat (spelled incorrectly). At that moment, I felt a
sense of relief just being around kind, down to earth individuals in the
mountains and away Casablanca madness. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Arriving
by bus in Tetouan, all the people exited the bus and Ahmed tells me “Atone,”
which means wait. He says it is late and he will drive me over to the city centre
and his friend will help me find a hotel-so kind. His friend is a tiny old man
who appears to be about half the size of me. As we walk up hill, he insists on
taking my bag and he carries it all the way to the top. He shows me a couple
hotels, which are located in the the centre, but do not meet my expectations. I
envisioned sleeping somewhere in the mountains away from the city therefore I
decided to contact my host for the first night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Near my apartment in the Mers Sultan area,
there are a couple convenience stores open at night and next to them is a big
Oil Libya gas station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inside this gas
station, there sits a big tour bus and inside sits a little, old man with a black,
wool hat and a big smile. I pass by him and say “Salaam Aleykum,” but one day I
decided to stop and see where this bus is actually going. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 200.25pt;">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">One Casablanca night, I stop by and he is sitting
inside the bottom of the bus and drinking a coca cola looking up at me. He sits inside with the door open where he has
a pot cooking next to him with vegetables on a gas cooker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talk in my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Englija </i>(Darija with English) and he tells me he works on the bus travelling back
and forth between Casablanca and Tetouan(in the North of Morocco). His name is
Hamed. He says he has four children and a wife who live in the village area of
Tetouan. He shows me his bed, which lies in the bottom of the bus and points to
the coca cola and says “Tranquillo.” He seems very peaceful and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">simply happy (</i>from Adventures of
Bollywood Solo Traveler)-those who do not gain in materialistic <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">things</i>, but have warmth, kindness, and happiness
in their hearts (PRIS). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 200.25pt;">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">While I had planned to go up North to
Chefchouen, I checked the weather forecast and I kept seeing a rainy forecast. Hamed
told me there would be a little rain, but less than Chefchouen. After a difficult
past couple weeks, I took this as a sign to get on the bus to Tetouan and take
a break from Casa. Sitting and speaking with this kind man, I realized I would
rather be on a bus with him for 5 hours than around all the fake people I had been
encountering in Casablanca.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 200.25pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This past meeting at the Hyatt Regency was a
nice mix of people coming from Turkey, London, US, Russia, India, Dubai, and of
course Morocco. There were a few familiar faces from the previous event and I
met with my Russian friend, Natalie, and another couple Moroccan friends. <br />
As usual, I made my rounds and met a nice guy from Turkey who is starting his
own English school over here and opening a hotel in Casablanca. I also met Dr.
Ali is from Saudi Arabia, but lives in West Virginia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also works with establishing connections
between US and Moroccan universities-two great people to meet.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When speaking with another business guy,
Moroccan and lived in USA attending Purdue University, he informed me about the
Microsoft party happening next door. Immediately, I thought about all the
perfect business men of Casablanca (business thinks business)-what a place to
network.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had pretty much said my
hellos and made an appearance at Internations and it was time to check out this
big Microsoft event. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 200.25pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I walked in and saw a whole new Casablanca-men
dressed in beautiful suits and women looking beautiful (still not on the
fashion 100 percent). In Morocco, it is truly the men who have the fashion
sense and know how to dress for the occasion or just everyday. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 200.25pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">While there were many good looking men, it was
not my focus as all I thought was “networking and business English contacts.” The
setting could not have been more perfect. My new friend introduced me to a few
people and I gave out my card to a handful of people. I still felt the “Casablanca
fake syndrome”, which means that people were a bit arrogant, superficial, and
ingenuine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This “Casablanca fake syndrome”
presents itself when you are hanging out in the “scene of Casa.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 200.25pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most of the time, I just sat and smiled and laughed
at people’s jokes and spoke a little bit of Arabic. It was a nice social and
nice for people watching and a few contacts for business. They had a great live
band from Mali who were playing the bongos and singing and I enjoyed the
deserts consisting of a ten layer chocolate cake. While people were drinking, I
was sipping on an Oulmes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is great
having absolutely no interest in drinking and just observing those around
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was content with the chocolate
cake and the Zwin men walking around=)</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Off
we went to El Jadida, I drove from Casa with a couple doctors and a dental
assistant for the Operation Smile mission. During this mission, dentists and
their assistants volunteer to come perform extractions and fillings for the
local community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My
friend Mr. Abdou has been working with
Operation Smile for over ten years. And I must say that working with him this day it was evident that he is doing wonderful work and working in his
<em>purpose</em>-proud of him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is very kind
and his smile makes me happy “bzeefff” each time I see him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When
first arriving the dental assistants (females) were all so friendly and
welcoming. We were sharing breakfast together, which consisted of Moroccan
pastries and speciality breads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I
was enjo ying myself and I decided to actually enjoy some pastries(as I was had
been staying away from sugar for most of the week).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I dipped my pancake into some honey and there
is some Arabic chatter. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mr.
Abdou says, “He says you are are round.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Immediately,
I put down the pastry and lose my appetite within seconds. They can see the
expression in my face change and I say, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In
the meantime, I am not really fine as I am wondering why do people always have
to comment on how I look. I wore my glasses, no makeup, and a lose fitting top,
and still someone comments.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mr.
Abdou says that “being round” in Morocco does not have the same meaning as
America. He says, there is “slim, round, and fat.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Being
round means having curves and that is what men like.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Apparently,
this was all a compliment, but for me I just would like to be left alone with
my physical appearance. While it is all joking and fun in Morocco, I still
would rather discuss something else, but Ce La Vie. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As
we were eating breakfast, I was staring out at the front door to a bunch of
mothers in jelabas and their children with their face smushed up to the
window.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were all eagerly waiting to
get in and I was ready for the big rush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I sat and prepared all the folders and welcomed them when they came in
the door. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">It
became fun overtime as I would speak Arabic and French, but children knew I
spoke English and they would practice their English. I would demonstrate how to
brush your teeth and comfort the children who just kept crying and crying out
of fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When Mr. Abdou was busy, I
would go to the door and call the names.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some of them were very difficult to pronounce, but I would try my
best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The funniest moment was when I pronounced
a long name and everyone stood in front of me smiling and started laughing at
me. I was also laughing with them as it was all quite humorous. </span></span><span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">There
was another girl working with us and when she came to the door-they were not
very friendly to her as she was a bit abrasive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There really is a special connection with people from up above and boy
do I cherish and appreciate it-incredible. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">At
lunch time, we all packed up into our cars and went to the doctor’s house for
lunch. We shared cous cous and fruit and everyone was so happy and full of
life. I really enjoy the Moroccan style of eating as it has this element of
royalty to it. Each person gets their hands washed one by one by the helper
using a silver tea pot and pouring water on each person’s hands (They do this
in India as well).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is usually a
cart, which has the beverages on it. The Moroccan style furniture is very
elegant and the silverware and plates are nice. The tea comes out with a
special tea set.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is really a nice
experience each and every time. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I
learned that dentists need 5 years on top of their 3 years for the University
degree and to become a specialist that requires an extra 4 years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be admitted to a dental school is very
competitive and one must receive very high scores on their test. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
dentist at the El Jadida clinic happens to be very cute.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is quite young, 27, but I just liked the
fact that he was a dentist and he was so good with the kids. He would pick them
up and put them on his shoulder, kiss their cheeks, and walk them to the door. All the work he does with the clinic is
volunteer work, which is very sweet. He is truly a kind, good person-from
appearance, but of course that can all change with Arab men. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I
just loved the kids as they were so sweet and so strong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were the occasional kids who cried and
would not go to the dentist when called, but overall they were wonderful. There
was one boy who had, not one but two of his teeth extracted and he was smiling
the whole entire time. It was not a good experience to see those who were held
down by three of four dentists, but that is how it is done in Morocco. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="color: #7105cb; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Operation Smile Morocco is truly a wonderful group of people and to experiences such happiness and kindness is what makes Morocco special.

emailed my friend about some of my latest updates, she was giving me some
motherly advice-the kind of advice which we call <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tough love. </i>Her advice was a bit of a slap right back into
reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While I have been focused on
making money, I have been distracted by men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I want to fill this void of lack of support and love from family and
friends, which I try to fill it with men..And I am suppose to be smart? Ha <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

reminded me about her experiences with Arabic men. While she managed to find
one great guy and the rest bad apples, she reminds me of all the dishonesty, games,
and lies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They like to fool you and make
things seem hopeful, but then at the end you just end of with a lump of coal.
Hence, the what is at the end of the rainbow post?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

actually sends me SMS messages from Canada telling me to get out of the

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #ff3399; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Perhaps, it is important to emphasize the “Ex” in “Ex-boyfriend.” Of course,
there is a reason why a relationship does not work to begin with and acceptance
of your differences to move on is important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 172.5pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 172.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #ff3399; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">With Mr. Casa, we did break up for a reason and our break up lead to
good things in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never sat
around and thought that we would get back together, as it clearly had been over
for months. Being alone somewhere in the world, you just miss that person
mostly as a friend, a partner, and the feeling of happiness they give you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know that he is not the one for me, but I
just continued to chase around that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">feeling
</i>with him<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you have a special feeling for someone,
this does not just disappear off into thin air. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the bad things from your relationship fade
away and all the good comes to light. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
feeling</i> resurfaces and becomes vivid when you are with them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; tab-stops: 172.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #ff3399; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">If women can just focus on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ex part
</i>then perhaps there would be less attention given to them in our minds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are Chapters or sometimes just pages to
our actual real life stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They can
build us up and break us down. They can contribute positively and negatively to
our being. They can touch our hearts and break our hearts. But at the end of it
all, they were a learning experience and a contribution of memories and words
for books and chapters......</span></div>
