My name is Caitlin, and I am a 2010 graduate of the University of Washington with a BA in Near Eastern studies. I am an American who speaks Arabic, Persian, Japanese, and Spanish.I received a Fulbright grant to teach English in Morocco; this blog is here for me to share my experiences with everyone. :)
IMPORTANT: This site is NOT an official Department of State website, and the views and information presented are MINE and DO NOT represent MACECE, the Fulbright program, or the Department of State. Just FYI.
The kanji in the title are read "zento" and mean both "future prospects" and "the journey ahead."
A Brief Pre-Bedtime Entry
It’s midnight. I would dearly love to go to bed, but Morocco just won against Algeria 4-0. I say “just won,” but the game ended an hour ago and the Moroccans are still carrying on in the streets, honking horns, shouting, and singing. No end in sight. Two points to be made here:
#1 Soccer is srs business, and can be quite political.
#2 I have yet to figure out when Moroccans sleep. It’s a mystery that has been bugging me for a while. All I know is that when I sign off our Facebook group chat around 11 pm to go to bed, my students think it’s really funny.
I’ll let you know tomorrow what time things die down. Edit: I went to bed around 1 and it was still pretty noisy. I woke up around 2:30 am to peace and quiet.
