Notes on My Daily Moroccan Life, Part 8.
How many seeds do you think there are in big pomegranate? 100? 500? According to Google, there are over 600. Why are you sharing this...
A fiend for adventure.
A thorough, overly-wordy recount of my life abroad in Rabat, Morocco, for the 2019-2020 academic year.
​
I was fortunate enough to receive a full scholarship from the US Department of State, through YES Abroad, that allows me to live with a host family in Morocco, study at a local high school (where the classes will be taught in French), and also attend a highly prestigious language institute called Amideast, where I will be studying Darija (the Moroccan dialect of Arabic) and Modern Standard Arabic!
Along the way, I hope to learn about Islam as well as other major aspects of Northern African society, make friends, join a local gym/sports team, and enjoy Moroccan cuisine.
​
I do not plan on purchasing data for my phone because I want to be IN Morocco, when I'm in Morocco, but you can contact me by email or Whatsapp if you wish! I have also terminated my veganism so I can try common Moroccan dishes including those containing goat and sheep (Sorry Clover and Bo).
That's all, folks! Let me know if you have any questions, and 'arak lahqa!
