Adventures in Marrakesh
Hi families! We are Taesoo, Christina and Da, and it is our eighth day in Morocco. We all are exhausted after our seven-hour-long train ride from Fes to Marrakesh. Our days in Fes went by pretty quickly, and we all miss our home stay families and their hospitality. In Fes, we found out that our stereotype of Arabic women doesn't seem to apply to the Moroccan women. They are free to wear what they want, although some choose to remain conservative by wearing Hijabs (the head coverings). Contrary to our expectation, a lot of them are very well educated and are already playing important roles in the society.
So we are in Marrakesh! Marrkesh is also known as the rose city for its roses, and the queen city for its acceptance of the homosexual community. We are excited about and looking forward to our three days in Marrakesh!
