During WWW I have experienced many activities I have never even thought of doing before with my peers. These include: Picking walnuts, building dams, building irrigation systems, and washing clothes. Though all of these may seem amusing, my favorite activity was building the dams. This is because I am a very active person, and I like challenging myself. With my peers, we moved the rocks, big and heavy to the other side of the shore, and built a dam to block it. We needed leaves and mud to cover the holes in between the rocks, nevertheless, this took time, but in 30 minutes, we had a dam half built and an irrigation system almost finished. Some of us continued building the dam, while others switched activities. It was even harder with less people, because we had less strength in total, and people had to collect leaves and mud. Later on in the day, we had finished the dam and were having fun near the river, distributing its water slowly but surely through the irrigation system, stopping just at the dam we had built.

My second favorite activy was washing the clothes, because we were across the river from each other, and it was fun throwing wet clothes at eachother. We all got wet, and we were laughing. Depending on your job, you would either get clothes full of

soap, full of water, or almost dry. I almost tripped and fell trying to throw a set of clothes to my peer at the other side of

the river. We switched jobs so in the end, we all had fun and kept a great memory of this day. I was also satisfied by our work because we really helped the Berber village we were at, and were cheerful at the same time. Our teachers were proud of us too, since they saw us work hard, because they were with us. Even now, we look back on this experience and we are proud.

I have brown curly hair and and brown eyes. I am berber because my grandma is berber. I love going outdoors because in Morocco the air isn't that polluted. I love eating traditional foods because they are delicious. Now they are disappearing with some other Moroccan traditions. There are many traditional foods in Morocco like couscous. In Morocco, there are more houses than apartment buildings, and some are huge like others are small. most of the people are nice and helpful. There are many beaches in Morocco, which is why I like going there.

I live in Morocco,a modernizing traditional country located in North Western

Africa. Rabat and Casablanca are two of its cities that are close together, but very different.

Rabat is a city where the sidewalks are almost completely covered with trees, grass, flowers, and

other plants. Almost all houses have space for a big enough garden. And there isn’t a lot of noise

in most places. There are some malls in Rabat, but not as many as in Casablanca. There is a vast

medina, almost as big as the old city in the East side of the city. This part of the city is near Salé

and there are all kinds of houses. Big houses, small houses, large houses,and tall houses, but the

most surprising are the mud houses. In Rabat there is very little pollution compared to the latter.

In Casablanca, life isn’t at all the same because there is a lot much more pollution and cars all

around with smoke coming out of the cars and honking sounds filling your ears day and night in

most places of the city. Though Casablanca is a polluted city, there are advantages to living

there. First of all, there are 2 american schools instead of only one in Rabat. There are also

more shops, malls, and restaurants in Casablanca. There are other cities more like Rabat or

Casablanca, but these are main examples of this country’s difference between cities.
