A list of random musings.

Random observations and commentary from Morocco:

• Street signs, road markers (when present), traffic laws, and traffic police are all . . . suggestions. Drivers defy all of them, usually at least three within the same trip. Taxis follow this rule but are completely safe- enjoyable, even, if you're not too anxious of a person.
• Prickly pear are delicious.
• Shower curtains are underrated. Taking a shower with a hand-held shower head and no shower curtain is an interesting experience.
• The ability to take showers is also underrated. I shouldn't complain.
• Moroccan teachers, in Morocco, don't accept "I was running on Moroccan time" as an excuse for tardiness.
• Buckets, buckets, everywhere. There are always at least 3 (and up to 9) in our bathroom.
• When line-drying underwear, make sure to use a clothespin on each pair, or else receive a chiding from your host mom (translated through your host sister) regarding the perils of unsecured underwear and windy days.
• It's not pork, and that's really all you need to know.
• Justin Bieber is truly inescapable. So is facebook. ...So is Laughing Cow Cheese?
• Number of times my host mom told me to eat today: 14. 

            My host sisters keep a tally.
