 |
|
Can someone with boots on the ground in Morocco point me to some blogs or resources about the area? It might be a fun diversion. I wouldn't mind teaching there. I'll pop a resume off to AMIDEAST this weekend.
I'm looking to jump straight from the ROK without having to go home first. Got two years here...time to go.
Thanks for any advice you can give. |

I think blogs would be in French or in Arabic.
For English I don`t know a better site. |

Is French as prolific as it looks? If so, it might be wise for me to learn it before I go.
Have you guys heard of any Americans having trouble visa-wise? |

Morocco and the US have good relations. |

I love this blog for cultural insights! The more recent posts are a bit more technical, and not as informative for your purposes, but it's in English, and it covers a lot of what you might want to read about. |

the University of North Texas has a study abroad program with Morocco.
The site has some information. |

Thanks for all the advice, people. I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and head down there. Can anyone recommend a good neighborhood? Edit: I mean in Marrakesh. (I don't necessarily mean a *safe* neighborhood, I mean a *good* one.) I like busy markets and such, kind of a place to relax while "keeping it real" as it were.
Also, what bank should I use? I can transfer some of this won to a Moroccan bank before my arrival and bypass the USD conversion altogether. |
