just came back from a trip around Europe and in Italy its was a shame to see the streets were covered with mindless graffiti which takes the shine off the incredible streets and buildings. So to see how beautifully kept the streets and how people take pride in making their city beautiful in Morocco is great to see. For me i can't wait to go back to Morocco and see some of the other small towns and desert areas.

I was there a while back and not only does it look exactly like this but the one motorbike that went down the street without a glance? That happens too, as well as donkeys laden with large bundles led through the streets and the ladies just move to the side and continue their conversations. And if they have to do repairs to the streets or alleyways, they just start digging and people walk around the hole or the workplace.

Enjoying the series. Any plans to explore Expo 2020?

They probably won't be moving far from home but usually (not sure if this applies to ChefChuioan) they use their donkeys to transport. But in most 3rd world countries you would have your children and grand children serving your needs by that age. But keep in mind these villagers eat healthy fresh food and usually live long with no major health issues and rarely needs to go to hospitals.
