I don't know if you've heard the news or not yet, but the Flagship Program has decided that it is no longer safe for our program to be located in Egypt and has decided to move us to Ifrane, a little town in the Atlas Mountains. While I am less than thrilled about this decision and I want more than anything else to return to Egypt, finish what I started, and accomplish the goals that I have set out, I am trying to think positively and get myself psyched about learning dirija, the Moroccan dialect of Arabic.
So... mutsharefeen ya maghreb (nice to meet you, Morocco), safi (ok), inshallah this experience will be muzain (God willing, this experience will be fantastic!).
I guess I'll have to change the title of my blog.

Wow.
ReplyDeleteUntil yesterday, Morocco was the odd mad out in the Arab world, with limited drama. Are you at Al-Akhawayn U.? I went on a tour there on the last day of the kivu trip. It's not too far from Fes, so that's a plus, and Swiss style should be beautiful and another trigger of culture shock... I hope it works out for you.
