A weekday morning student came back from Morocco this week to tell us about her experience there.
Morocco's agriculture accounts for about 14% of the economy but employs over 40% of the population. Evidence of smallholdings and low-tech farming systems are often to be seen apparently. The food on offer, not surprisingly perhaps, was mainly vegetable based but plain and lacking flavour. For an early riser, there was the opportunity of an exotic pleasure, a camel ride into the desert to see the starry sky before dawn, which in November is after 7.30 am. The days are short and the sun sets at 6 pm. Day time temperatures usually hover around the 20 degrees Celsius mark. The obvious souvenir to bring back was a carpet and that's exactly she bought, albeit a small one.... What exotic destination have you been to or would you most like to go to? Have you ever ridden a camel, often known as a 'ship of the desert'? Quiz Me English conversation card blog
