Living in Morocco

Living in Morocco is fun and annoying sometimes, however I am proud to be Moroccan because Moroccans have generosity in their bloods. Also, they care about their family and friends like no other people do. Also. The national sport here is soccer and I love soccer. However, it may be annoying here because Morocco is not that developed in modern times. For example, there is no fun amusement parks, no Burger Kings etc.... But I think Morocco will develop those and become the greatest place in the world.If you are poor and live in Morocco, now that is bad because its boring.

Welcome to my Blog- Berbers in Morocco

During my five day trip to southern Marrakech, I learned a little bit about Berber daily life, culture, food, traditions, and celebrations. The source of this knowledge was from the guide and the people that live there. My class and I, lived in berber homes, ate berber food and did berber chores and I can tell you that it is hard. We went during theh arvest walnut season therefore we learned much about walnuts. Also, we studied about food and what they eat and how to make it. All in all, I think berbers have a difficult life but extract the most fun of it. Then, during the Moroccan Studies course we will learn about berber origins, customs, traditions, dynasties, tribes, and other topics.
