Orientation Continued

Today I woke up around 7 after going to sleep late last night. After eating breakfast, myself and the other Arabic tulaab (students) continued our orientation. We learned key words as well as went through cultural training. For example, if one wants to buy something at the market, we could expect to spend some time haggling over time. During this time, we might even sit down with the vendor and discuss the purchase over mint tea. Later in the day, a Foreign Service Officer from the Department of State came to the orientation to talk about the program and other programs we might pursue in the future. Only two days until I'll be in Morocco.
