First taste of Morocco

It’s more than one week that I’m in Morocco and still I cannot believe that I’m here. Everything is just so amazing and different. Just see the pictures!

So far, I haven’t started my work and transition yet. I feel a bit weird because it’s strange feeling for me not to have much to do :) I’m just reading some stuff and adjusting myself to Morocco, getting to know country. Most of my teammates have exams now so they are studying hard and can’t go out. Fortunately, they will finish it soon so we’ll start work and getting to know each other more. For the past few days I was sightseeing in Rabat, watching movies and had a meeting with my MCP. I also repaired a kitchen sink in our flat. It was stuck because of too much pasta, rice and other food in the pipes. That was a huge challenge :) I also started learning French. Although I feel some progress I still feel that I could do more. I hope that by the end of my stay here I will have spoken French fluently. I’ll be doing my best! Please, kick my ass if I don’t learn it!!! :)

Generally speaking, I like Morocco very much and enjoy every minute here. I didn’t have any breakdown, homesickness or depression. Today, after coming back from trip to Fes (exciting and exhausting – see the next post), when I entered my flat I just felt like at home. It’s my new home for now :)
