Alright we have arrived in what will be my home for the next 6 weeks and a half...
My first experience was getting followed by a teenage boy for about 20 minute while he tried to help us...and by help he was a pain in the ass...he wanted to practice his English yet he continued to speak in French and Arabic...and told me to open my heart...
Finally I told him to please leave us alone and he told me that he had never met a Canadian as unsympathetic as me and that I must be Japanese...charming...
Then we finally found our hotel and got settled...the next day we switched to the youth hostel as it was cheaper and same sort of lodgings...I also headed out to ALIF Arabic Language Centre in Fes) where I tried to sort out my courses
