Marrakesh

We went to Marrakech, which was unlike any city I’d ever seen before. Mostly because it was an African city and also because it was a mostly muslim city so we were some of the very few women walking around without veils on. Flights were relatively inexpensive from Paris mostly because there are a lot of Moroccan immigrants. Marrakech was cool but you cannot go without a guided tour, its just not very smart. We went with Snoworsand.com (they do tours to other places too that you can look into!!) and it was a pretty low budget trip. It wasn’t my favorite weekend away mostly because its kind of culture shocking but I’m really glad I went. Who know’s when else in my life I’ll get to see a city like Marrakech. We got to hike in the mountains, ride camels, saw a belly dancing show (most degrading thing I’ve ever seen but also culturally relevant) do lots of inexpensive shopping in markets, it was really cool. But be careful with the tap water, you SHOULD NOT drink it. My poor friend Emma got really sick but not until we got home in Paris.
