Our first day in Tanjah! We visited the casbah in the morning and met some of our speaking partners. Speaking partners are Moroccan native Arabic speakers who meet with us for half an hour every day for conversation class. It is a great opportunity to practice the language one on one everyday so they can correct us and we can improve our speaking ability. Besides the assigned half hour, speaking partners also join us for lunch and other cultural activities, like touring to the casbah. After visiting the casbah, we walked around and found a place to eat. Tangier is very different than Rabat. In Rabat, like I've commented before, I felt very safe walking around and didn't feel that people looked at me all that much. Walking around the streets of Tangier is a bit different. I was wearing skinny jeans, which I wore in Rabat (no problem) and guys not only stared at me but also said things that I didn't understand (and probably didn't want to understand). It might be a matter of adjusting and dressing more conservatively, I'm not really sure. Being tired probably doesn't help my views about the city, but oh well! We'll see how it goes!
It just so happens that my dad is visiting for a few days, so I will get to see him a few times while he's here! I'm very excited about that!
