Is this
really happening? In one fell swoop, I open the email and I feel sheer
excitement and fear all at once. I realize suddenly why I want to work in
Morocco. It’s not just my obsession with Arab countries, but the new sense of
challenge. Sure I’ve traveled here before, in a big group, but not alone, and
certainly not for an extended period of time. The first thing people say is,
make sure you will be safe. Then the fear sets in. What have I gotten myself
into? Am I really ready for this? Or is it just one of those just jump into the
fire situations..and is that really a good idea when it comes to personal
safety? I hadn’t really thought much other than I want to be in Morocco and
wanted to work with Boubker Mazoz – Why? I couldn’t really say way. It is
slowly becoming clear to me now. How will it feel to live in a place where I
don’t always feel safe and where I have barely a clue about the norms..I guess
I’m up for the challenge. Another comment I’ve gotten is, “Casablanca sucks,
it’s dirty.” Hmm…where have I hear this before? About my beloved Marseille. In
this case, we can assume that I will most likely love Casablanca, as I will see
past all of this. My heart beats with excitement and intense fear aka I’m
scared shitless.
