Daily Life in Morocco

Submitted by Hayden Fulton on the 2017 winter session program in Morocco sponsored by the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures…

This week we had class in Morocco and then for this weekend we went to Spain.

My first photo is of the dog that lives outside my building. He is always outside the building and I have been taking a lot of different photos of him. I wanted to use this picture for my weekly IGS post because in Morocco we constantly see dogs everywhere. Very seldom do they have leashes or owners. Once, while walking we even saw a pack of 5 dogs. It can be pretty sad because back home we all pamper our dogs, but here the dogs are just on the streets. What’s even worse is the amount of cats on the streets. The cats are everywhere and the positive part of this is that there are no mouse issues.

My next photo is of my new host family. The photo is of two of the three of my brothers, their cousin and one of the UD students on the program with us. I like this picture because it shows my part time home. The small table that they are eating at, is the table where we eat dinner every night. It’s pretty cool because we always eat with our hands which is a new experience for me. We eat pretty late, but you just have to adapt a little. I really like my host family and I’m sad I’m going to have to leave them tomorrow.
