Hilton Rabat

... we were split into groups of 2 or 3 so that we could be assigned to host families for the next 2 nights. I was placed with Sarah and another girl named Haley because they three of us were "vegetarians" for the trip. Morocco's main meat is lamb, and the three of us don't eat red meat, so thus we were labeled "veggies" for the remainder of the trip. Once we were assigned to our homestay we were greeted warmly by a family that lived in the medina of Rabat. The family ...

... I realize that though I still like my scarf, it has some flaws. One that it is very thin and two that it is a yellow-ish white. In other words, it looks like bandages and I will look like a mummy when I wear it. I guess the jellaba of King Tut might not be so misplaced after all.<br><br><br>After a day of shopping, Kelsey ended up with a grump. A grump not willing to compromise on eating meat. After shopping, I was not giving in. Nuh-uh, not me. So we ended Saturday with Fridays ...

... the speed limit is completely moot, this poses no problem) he will fill that gap quite nicely and not have to stop. It is an art.<br> <br>There are lights to enter the round-abouts here (there WILL be another section on round-abouts). And though there are no red lights IN the traffic circle a guard will whistle you to stop in the middle. As Americans we know that this is just plain wrong. Round-abouts are put in in lieu of lights and when in the circle, you MUST ...

... I asked if he wanted to be a pioneer in the country (in what world does that make sense?), if he liked going to plays in the theater, and if he supported gay rights (which sounds deep, but it&#8217;s an easy question to compose in Arabic). <br><br> <br>I can hopefully improve in time especially when we speak 98% Arabic for two hours a day. I can&#8217;t help but get better, right?<br><br> <br>So after class I spent several hours on the internet, I posted the most recent ...

... so happy. <br><br> <br>11) No one moves out of the way of ambulances. If you&#8217;re dying, don&#8217;t plan on a hospital visit. My fellow student and I were commenting on this ambulance trying to get through traffic and it just wasn&#8217;t happening. One person even honked at (then again, no big surprise). She pointed, &#8220;Look, you can see the feet.&#8221; You sure enough could. The ambulences here are nothing more than glorified ...

... br>Thank you Ziggy and Ben (I still would like you to know I wasn't staring- maybe I'll get brave enough to appologize) for sitting with me at lunch. It was nice not eat alone. <br><br>Thank you Zineb 1 (the friend) and Mariam for continuing to be awesome (I really appreciate you letting me use the internet. I had no idea you could get in so much trouble for it). And you weren't too friendly. <br><br>Thanks Kendra (I really hope that's your name, since I messed ...

... it's always good to see them. We had a lot less kids come this week - maybe 10-15 tops each day. We're not sure why, but Abdellah said that the hospital slows down in the summer so that could be it. Or, Mohamed said they might have known we were leaving and decided to stay away. Who knows? We think some of the moms knew it was our last day yesterday, as several asked to have pictures taken of us with their kids. There is a guy at the ...

... it must've hurt like the dickens and he was probably scared too. I helped one of the nurses clean up afterwards. At first, I waited because I thought they might bring in some kind of antiseptic or something, but they didn't. She just came in with a wad of cotton balls and started wiping it up. I figured if that was all there was to it, I'd just grab some kleenexes and help get it wiped up. No hazardous waste protocols, rubber gloves or ...

... shifted her from the wheelchair to a chair-chair. It was difficult to maneauver as we're afraid of hurting her, but she was fine and seemed really happy to be there. The day before (our first day), we saw her looking down from the floor above, just watching the action. She likes to color and did several nice pictures, smiling the whole time. She smiles more than any other kid in the ward. Our placement coordinator, Abdellah ...

... maksavan 10 euroa. Kuinka yllättävää, että matka todellisuudessa maksoikin 30 euroa. Taksikuskin tulkinnan mukaan hotelli ei sijannut keskustassa, vaikka majapaikka olikin kaupungin pääkadun varrella. Toiset olivat saaneet tingattua hinnan 15 euroon. Taas hieman ihmetyttää, miksi siellä seinällä oli se taksitariffikyltti, jos matkan hinta on neuvoteltavissa. No, mitäpä sitä pienistä. Pääasia, että perille päästiin. Ensimmäinen yö hotellilla ...
