In Rabat since 3 days and loving every minute! I have had the possibility to visit Morocco twice before and therefor hade some “worries”….. But so far I have been very pleased. It is much cleaner, nicer and more organized than I remember.
So….Morocco – Patricia 1-0!!! 🙂
I was picked up at the Airport by my host who took me straigt to a restaurant to have a wonderful couscous because it is Friday = Couscous in Morocco. After the 2nd prayer (of 5), people of Morocco join their family for a lovely meal. I feel that Friday is gonna be my favourite day!
While looking for somewhere to stay during my MFS I was hoping the find something “safe” and comfy. I have been very lucky to get so much more! I now share a big house with a amazing women (the host) who takes her “mission” seriously, and several students, (a woman who is doing her internship at UN Women…what where the chances? :-). )
I have been given advice about sim-cards, how to get around, where to eat and shop and much more, I feel very spoiled! The fact that the host is involved and has a great network concerning NGOs working for women’s rigths just makes it even better. Having the privlige to discuss women’s situation with her the last 3 days has thaught me a lot!
Today I had the pleasure to go for a bit sight-seeing by car. Two beaches close by and a “team building place”:
Tomorrow the plan is to meet up with one NGO to explain in person the purpose of my study and hopefully get their support and help.
Hey Patricia!
It sounds wonderful the housing that you have found and to live with a woman working for the UN with all that knowledge! I hope that your Field study continue like this!
Hi Sandra,
I am lucky indeed! So far so good 🙂
