It’s the little things that really make you smile. One of those little things is being able to talk to the people you love on a regular basis. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a phone guy and I actually love not being in a position where I get calls all the time, but sometimes, it’s [...] Yesterday, Hanane read a passage from Fatima Mernessi’s book Dreams of Trespass at an event to celebrate women’s day. It was a nice gathering at Cafe Comedie in the Fes ville nouvelle. I hadn’t been there before and it was a great place, though one of the big problems you always face in Morocco is that [...] A few months ago I started looking at all the garbage piled up in various places and seeing that I had about a thousand plastic grocery bags lying around. YOu get plastic bags with everything in Morocco and then they go to the garbage and then they blow all over the place and then, well, [...] Lately, I’ve been encouraging students in my conversation classes to take a stab at telling their favorite Moroccan jokes in English. To my surprise, the most popular jokes are all about the people who live in the city of Berkane! They are called Berkany Jokes or Brekna jokes. The jokes are all at the expense of [...] The movies I showed at the American Language Center in Fez during the last two weeks were far different than my first round of classic Academy Award Winners. I decided that since I was looking to spawn great conversations but that my audience was primarily Moroccan teens, I decided to address two issues that are [...] A few weeks ago, I decided to show an absolutely terrible movie to the students at the ALC Fez. The movie I’m Gonna Git You Sucka is a parody of the black exploitation films of the 1970s. From the get go, this film had no chance to be good. There is something compelling about the [...] Since coming to Morocco a year ago, I’ve wanted to visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubulis. Each time I’ve planned to go, something has kept me from it, until now. It turns out that Hanane had also never gone there. As a young girl, she was supposed to go there on a school trip, [...] Saturday Morning, Hanane and I woke up and grabbed our overnight bags to set out for a further exploration of Moulay Idriss, Volubulis, and Meknes. Since our previous expedition (http://www.vagobond.com/2010/02/vagobond-in-meknes-and-moulay-idriss/) had been so incredibly enjoyable, I decided to surprise her with a weekend trip so that we could really dig into this incredible region. After scouring [...] As a new teacher at the ALC in Fez, it’s sort of hard to get to know your colleagues. Everyone is always waiting to use the computers or copy machine, on the way to class, grading, or just not there. That’s the reason it was such a nice treat to go to the Annual American [...] Last weekend, we decided to take a daytrip to Meknes since neither Hanane nor I had been there before. We got a later start than we intended but figured it would be no problem since Meknes is only an hours train ride from Fez and Fez is only a 40 minute taxi ride from Sefrou. The [...] |
