"Morocco - Royaume du Maroc" a Morocco Travel Page by desert_princess

Morocco was my home for 5 years of my life .It's where I started going to school. My first one was an arabic school in Khouribga - accross the railroad that did not have any signalisation. My classmates were all moroccans, and by the time the went studying the Koran ,I had maths. My book of notes is both in french and arabic.I never learned to read it. I remember for punishing us the teacher was hitting our fingers with a stick untill they all got red.

I liked disguise as most of the kids I guess - take a sheet , put a scarf on your face ,and there you are - a little arab woman:)))
These were the clothes of Rahma - our cleaning woman. She used to call me " Aisha Khandisha" which is a name for some moroccan witch.
