You know, I didn’t realize there was so much decision-making involved in being in a foreign country. I thought my days here would be pretty regulated, taken up with classes, homework, and excursions. Not really—there’s lots of free time and how one uses that time is perhaps as important as deciding to go abroad at all.
Figure these ones out and let me know. Is it better to travel around the country with my American friends—seeing all the sites and taking lots of pictures—or try to make friends with the locals, who hang out in the same streets day after day? What about language? Is it better to practice and improve my pathetic language skills, or seek out English-speakers and have a real conversation that goes beyond, “Do you have any hobbies?”
Then if I decide to speak the language, do I try for Modern Standard Arabic, the local Darija dialect, or French? I’m best at French naturally because it’s so much like English, but the classes I take here are in Modern Standard, which is good for reading the newspaper or working at the U.N. but sounds like Shakespeare if spoken on the streets. Darija’s a smart bet, but it’s the hardest of the Arabic dialects to pick up and worse, the most distinct from Modern Standard.

Click for photo: Another local touristy site in Rabat, the Kasbah--or old fortress--which overlooks the ocean and stands adjacent to the old medina.
Click for photo: Some local Moroccan college and high school kids, plus my American friend at far left, to whom with shoddy Arabic and a phrasebook we managed to have a fun but mostly empty 20 minute conversation.
Here’s a tricky one: Participating vs. observing. It’s nice to be able to join the fun and try out a local custom, but doing so exposes oneself to more unpredictability. Being the only white guy at the Hammam (public bath) attracted lots of attention—my l4 year old little brother, Hamza, had to speak for me and “defend” the buckets of hot water I had set aside for myself (for rinsing and cleaning) from veteran Hammam goers.
And still other times local customs can conflict with personal values. If my host family hints that they want me to fast for Ramadan, should I? Other students have been asked if they wanted to pray and even convert to Islam. Just how far should students go in order to “experience” another culture?
Okay, so I guess all of these questions come down to one: Why did I come here? Most study abroad students on my program—and everywhere I suspect—don’t know exactly why they went abroad, only that they were strangely drawn to new and different experiences and cultures, and had the privilege to go through with it. But maybe it’s better that way—not knowing why I’m here, and not making out one choice to be superior to another.
At times like this I would do well to take a hint from local Moroccan wisdom. Take my host brother Abdul Huq, a poet himself, the extent of whose English is limited to one, important phrase: “Hey man… relax!”

Hey Mike, glad you're having a good time in Morocco. Brave of you to go where you want.
peace, Paula

Mike I think your blog entries are getting better and better with each one...enjoyable reads. If you want my $0.02 however, you should fast for Ramadan and convert to Islam.
P.S Did you mention to your host family that you were Jewish?
P.P.S The chick in blue in picture #3 wants you.

Thanks Paula for the comment... nev I actually am fasting now after some issues during the second week of Ramadan, when I stopped fasting for a while but then continued...
She does want me haha but seriously its a very physical culture and once moroccans have established you as a -friend- they can pretty much grab on to you as well as use your personal possessions whenever they want. not cool.
