Mely in Morocco: Arabic Anime (Alternately: Je Déteste Vous, Gérard Depardieu)
http://melymorocco.blogspot.com/2008/07/arabic-anime-alternately-je-deteste.html
Arabic Anime (Alternately: Je Déteste Vous, Gérard Depardieu). For those of you who know anything about Japanese cartoons, commonly referred to as anime, you know that they enjoy a large popularity in the US under their dubbed versions and that the artistic style incorporates generalized mouth movements so you don't get lip reader's syndrome (did I just make that up? Probably because they were both dubbed by Gérard Depardieu. The Great French Schnoz. And Now. Ladies and Gentlemen. La Belle et la Bête.

Saana Helwa ya Jamill. سنة حلوة يا جميل. سنة حلوة يا جميل. سنة حلوة يا جميل! Yeah, I just sung happy birthday to myself. I don't officially turn 20 for another 10 hours (I was born at 6:45 am and I'm taking in to account the fact that there's a 6 hour time change) but yeah, it's my birthday! In Morocco, that is. Got to wait another 4 hours and 15 minutes for Texas to catch on. To quote the timeless Richard Blaine: "Here's looking at you, kid.". Look at the time, wasn't dinner at 5:30? And listened to the...

Words of Encouragement from my Memere and Predeparture notes. I received this from my maternal grandmother via email earlier today:. Dearest Mely, WOW! How things have changed in just 2 generations. If I had attempted this at your age the fallout from my family would have been, well just let me say when I announced to my parents during senior year of high school that I wanted to go on the stage the silence was deafening! Then I said "what about law school? And that was shot down, as was nursing, horrors!

http://melymorocco.blogspot.com/2008/07/atai.html
So, I'm sitting here at the CCCL on a breezy but overly-sunny afternoon (are there ever clouds here? No) studying for my midterm tomorrow and considering reading the assignment for our afternoon session, and Brahim makes some tea. I lean over into his line of sight and say "Ya Brahim! And he responds "For you? I invite you all to tea! Got to go, need to study more. Bye! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Austin, Texas, United States. View my complete profile.

Mely in Morocco: 08 June 2008

The story thus far. I flew by plane from Houston to Casablanca, via Atlanta and Madrid. In total, with the few delays, it took about 19 hours. This was made more confusing by the fact that for the first time in 40-odd years Morocco is observing Daylight Savings Time, and it only started at the beginning of June. Ok, I’ve been there before. Life is much easier in Arabic once you can at least take a stab at sounding words out. In Transit/Playing for Keeps. They just called my boarding zone. Interpreter of ...

No, not that Africa. the OTHER Africa! Hey everyone. It's been awhile since a legitimate post so I figured I will just throw one up. Um, no, I didn't mean throw up, I meant. oh whatever. As for the food, it's mostly good. I think I eat like five plate-sized pieces of bread a day. Those things are more numerous than pidgeons in central park. They are everywhere, everyone sells them, and it's always fun to see kids running home with one or two after being sent out by their mom with a few dirhams. Or we hav...

Mely in Morocco: Waste Management In Rabat
http://melymorocco.blogspot.com/2008/07/waste-management-in-rabat.html
Waste Management In Rabat. Currently in class. My stomach isn't feeling well, so even though Casey's host mom is throwing a wedding party for her former host daughter and we're all invited, I'm not so sure I want to go. Not really interested in the lecture. But Steph seems to be enthralled so someone is getting something out of it. Tomorrow we have oral presentations in Arabic. I will be talking about the Hassan Tower gardens, my favorite place in Rabat. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Arabic in 10 M...
