MORE ON THIS AND THAT. Dislikes. How could I have forgotten trash?!? I occasionally overlook it and see just the beauty of the land, but it is a big problem here.

How things work, in relation to my work. The Moroccan government has various departments just like the U. S., only they are called Ministries, and there is Tourism, and Education, etc. etc. There are several ministries that the Peace Corps works with, and of course there is a hierarchy from the national level down to the regional. Government is government, politics are politics, bureaucracy is bureaucracy. So working with a different culture, a different government, plus our government does make interesting challenges and not always easy to get things accomplished, as you might expect.
