Ms. Wiebe is Pro!

It was the last day of WWW trip so we decided to go to shopping the a village. We hiked for two hours to get to the village. One of our teacher, Ms. Netzel, allowed us to wear comfortable shoes, such as converse. So, my best friend Mika and I wore converse for the hiking. I was talking to Mika, then I fell because the ground was slippery even though it was sands and rocks. After a hour, we rested near by the river, where all the huge rocks are. I got some alcohols on my wound and I started to throw some rocks into a puddle. After twenty minutes, we started to hike again. I started to sweat after 5 minutes. When we arrived the village, we went to a cafe and drank sodas. When we were done with drinking, we made our groups to hang out in village.

When we were hanging out, Ms. Wiebe were with us. We bought some junk foods ( Only two maximum.) and when Ms. Wiebe was trying to buy a chocolate bar, every chocolate bar she bought was rotten. After buying junk foods, we were trying to buy some souvenirs for my family. When I was trying to buy a necklace for my mom, Ms. Wiebe told me that the necklace is not a silver or gold. She told me that she was trying to help me and it really helped me a lot. We saw many mules handling the luggage or some other stuff, they looked really tired to me. I had a lot fun during shopping, because I was able to have fun with my friends also.

On the way coming back, we had to hike again with our stuff. It was really tired, however I was happy that I bought some stuff at the village. When we departed at Mr. Mohammed’s house, we had some time for free time and ate dinner. After, we celebrated out last day of WWW trip and went to sleep.

Want to know about Me?

Hello everyone,

My name is Jimin Koo and I'm from South Korea. I can speak Korean, English, and little bit of French. I'm living in Morocco, Rabat, due to my dad's business. My dad works in the company that is pretty big and famous. I go to an international school in Rabat and it's a new experience to me. Also, I love being in my school and I'm enjoying to live in Morocco. This year is going to be my fourth year living in Morocco. First I came to Rabat, things were really unusual to me, however things are getting better right now. My hobbies are to read manga, watching anime, singing, drawing, listening to music, watching movies, taking a nap and finally eating! So that was all about me~!

I moved to Morocco in the fourth grade and I’m going back to Korea when I’m in high school. For past three years, I saw many celebrations in Morocco just like Korea. Morocco has New Year celebration like Korea, however Moroccan people doesn’t celebrate Christmas because most of them are Muslim. Since I was born in South Korea, I know most of the celebrations. Korea celebrate Thanksgiving and it’s called “Chusok.” Morocco does feasting and it’s called “Ramadan.” It’s religion celebration. After Ramadan, they celebrate called “Eid.” Eid is very joyful time for Moroccans because when Eid is starting, the people can go to their friends house or they parents house and eat. In addition, during Ramadan, you can’t eat or go to friend’s house if you’re Muslim. I think Morocco has more celebrations than Korea. I think in Korea, there are ten celebrations in a year, but I think Morocco has more celebrations. Since these two countries has different celebrations, the cultures are also different. Even though I don’t know many facts about both countries, however both countries has interesting information about celebrations.

Welcome to my blog on 'Berbers in Morocco'

I've been gone for five days on WWW (Weeks Without Walls) High-Atlas Mountains trip that is close to Marrakesh, to visit the Berber villages. The Berbers are very nice and friendly. I was able to be friends with them easily. We visited three different villages and four different houses. Our class divided up to seven groups to learn about Berbers and I discovered many fascinating information about all those the seven topics. For this school year, we will be learning about traditions, dynasties, customs, and origins.
