Only in Morocco...

Only in Morocco does your bathroom fan produce so much smoke that it can be smelt everywhere in the apartment.
Only in Morocco does the power go out in your entire apartment except the bathroom (and can't be reset)
Only in Morocco is your classroom 10 degrees hotter than the outside tempurature.
Only in Morocco do half of your students not show up for the first week or two of school.
Only in Morocco does it take over an hour for your concierge to come up to your apartment, do nothing, and then leave and never come back.
Only in Morocco do you work in the bathroom because it's the only place you have light.
Only in Morocco do you sit around 3 lit candles with 4 co-workers pretending it's a bonfire.
Only in Morocco...
...But I must say, I do love this place!

Morocco Round Two!

Hello everyone!
I'm back in Morocco and gearing up for another year. Travels went smoothly...new apartment is great...new teachers are a lot of fun...it's good to be back! The weather is hot so Sarah and I went to the beach today :) ...need to take advantage of no school while we still can. Tonight we are going to Hasna's house for iftar (breaking of the fast). I'm excited to see her and Kenza again (although I don't think Kenza will remember me). We're having the staff over to our apartment on Friday for a potluck...which we can do now with our bigger apartment!
On the "to-do-list"...finish unpacking...set up classroom...write syllabi...plan for the first week...enjoy my last days of freedom :)
Love you all...
