Excitement and Stress

I am typing this post from my iPod so don't mind my spelling. But anyways...morocco has become a place of many firsts for me and that has come with a lot of excitement and stress. Seeing a place so visually different has made me camera happy here. I feel like there is so many things I want to capture (so glad I bought that 8GB memory card. And everytime I feel like I've seen something that is so different such as a morocccan mosque something else comes along and I really feel like I'm in a dream. When we went to Sale the town next to Rabat and saw the HUGE ancient graveyard by the ocean I couldn't believe my eyes.I even saw a prayer service going on and it amazed me that these people live the way they do and how extremely different it is.
As far as stressets I've has I would definitely say that the gender division has put me on edge. Walking down the street it is completely normal for a guy to try and be flirty to see if you'll respond. And simple eye contact here honestly is a way of signaling interest. It has become such a hard norm to break because at home male and female strangers make eye contact all the time. I guess I am trying to worm at not judging so much but just understand it is a different lifestyle. The culture is not going to change but the way I respond definitely can. I wish I could write so much more but computers have been hard to come by. I am in meknes now and I will be leaving for Fes tomorrow. I'll be staying with my host family there so I can't wait to tell u all about it!
