Blog 4 - Research on Morocco

This week, I decided to do research on Morocco, a country in Northern Africa. I was able to learn about the best places to visit, the best dish to eat, and what souvenirs to get.

Some of the best places to visit are the Mosques in Morocco. However, very few are open to non-Muslims. One of the Mosques open to the public is the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.




For the different foods, there is a spice called cumin which is used in everyday Moroccan cooking. In addition, at the end of festivals like Ramadan, when Muslims fast, they eat couscous.

Lastly, some of the best souvenirs that must be bought in Morocco include the intricate rugs, unique lanterns, and authentic argan oil.       

Reflecting on the past week, I was able to complete my research on Morocco. However, I got a little off track and didn't do my research until yesterday. Therefore, I will use next week, which is spring break in order to learn a bit more about Morocco since I felt that there is still more important things about the country of Morocco. In addition, over spring break, I will continue to do research on another country, Vietnam. I am extremely happy to do research on Vietnam because it is where my parents were from. I hope to learn new things about Vietnam as well as share what I already know about Vietnam's cultures, traditions, and holidays.
