Morocco Baby (PB)

Always when I was a child I enjoyed flying and what came with it. It came with new experiences and ideas that I never had here in the United States. At first I wasn't so sure of Morocco, but after experiencing what I did there I wish I can travel anytime. This experience has broken that culture barrier, and gets you out of your little comfort zone. Morocco is full of new things that you don't get to see much in the states. For instance camels. When I heard about camels I was hesitant on even riding one. When we got to a place where we can ride them I broke, and decided to give it a shot. The ride was actually quite fun and am thankful I decided to ride on one. I said "why not I'm never going to do this in the states I might as well do it here." Of course this wasn't even all the excitement that happened.

A few days back we ended up eating the very creature I rode on. We had a camel burger, and may I say it was gooood. Of course it's not something I would crave, but if had to eat it again I would. This made me remember how walking through the Medina (market place) we saw a camel head. Of course camel isn't the only thing on the menu. There are variety of foods that we ate, like lamb tagine (Moroccan most famous dish), couscous, and even a variety of fresh seafood.

All in all the experience was amazing, but words and this blog cannot say how passionate I feel about Morocco. It's a great experience, and I would most definitely recommend Morocco as the place to be. I feel if I had a chance to go back for a few weeks, I would take it with no hesitation.

The Taming of the Shrew (CRR)

In English class we are reading The Taming of the Shrew. At first the language was a bit complicated and difficult to follow. I would read a line and then page, and not understand what I just read. Although after I started getting into the book is when I started comprehending the language a bit better. I soon started making connections to the real world and even enjoying it to the point where I wonder what may happen next. Of course the annotations that come with it is a hassle because sometimes I just want to read it, but in the future if I ever need to look back i'll know what happened because of my annotation.

So far what I've gotten out of the book is that Bianca is a beautiful woman who has many people falling for her. There was even a point where men fought for her marriage. Of course she had to wait until her sister Katherina got married. Problem was that Katherina had a horrible mouth. She was just as beautiful as Bianca, but her mouth is what made her seem like a "devil". So far that's the gist of Act one and two that I understood.
