Friday Fragments: Episode 5 or "10 Things I Learned While in Morocco"
Saturday, March 31, 2012
This edition of Friday Fragments (posted on Saturday) is bought to you by my trip to Morocco this past week. Before I get into it, I must say this: I've been on Spring Break. We get two weeks off, a much needed and well deserved break! The first week - this past week - a friend and I went to Marrakech, Morocco (LOVED it...details & pics later). The second week, my mom is here visiting. So yeah. Best. Spring Break. Ever.
And now, without further ado...
10 THINGS I LEARNED WHILE IN MOROCCO
* The Arabic accent sprinkled with French accent = Très cool! And when a gorgeous Morcoccan man speaks with said accent...sexy!
* Moroccans are beautiful people. Especially the men. GORGEOUS men. Lots of candy for my eyes to behold. Beautiful brown skin...sexy accents...some with gorgeous eyes...yeah, I was in heaven. :D
* Berber scotch = YUM! I had MANY cups of this tasty drink and didn't even get drunk. I mean, it could be cos Berber scotch is really mint tea, but whatev. Semantics, right?
* Locals love it when you express in interest in their language. When we tried words in both Arabic & French, they got excited. And they were so helpful when we asked about words we didn't know. They liked that we at least tried.
* Just cos Morocco is an Arabic country doesn't mean all Moroccans are Muslims. They are diverse in their religions from Muslim, to Christians, to Jewish.
* English is like the 4th language of Morocco. They speak Berber, Arabic, and French. And, if they really wanna venture out, then they learn English.
* Must. Learn. French. Enough said.
* Brown skin is beautiful. I've always known this. I mean, I love my own skin color. But being in a country full of brown skin people who love their skin and don't try to change it...priceless. Different shades of brown. Loved it!
* Climbing a mountain in white pants may not exactly be the smartest thing to do. In my defense, when I woke up that morning and dressed, I didn't know that's what we were going to do. By the time we'd decided and paid for the trip, I didn't have time to change. So I hiked in white pants. They didn't get too dirty, surprisingly.
* I WILL visit Morocco again. I am in love with that country.
That's it, folks. A more detailed post will follow during the A to Z Blog challenge!
