Hi Samir, I have not had the pleasure of visiting Morocco yet, but I have been reading a lot about the history, culture and architecture. I have been drawn to visit for a very long time now, but circumstances have not presented themselves to allow me to go yet. Hopefully in the next few years I will be able to come and explore, though I always say that there is a good chance I would stay.

Morocco is not a wealthy country, but it features many art galleries and has produced numerous writers in a nation where art and culture are highly revered. On the way home after two successful concerts in Morocco, I began to understand that culture is the product of accumulated experience. After having listened to the same musical pieces over 20 times, it seemed that the music had somehow become a part of me. This would probably be true for the culture of any country. Perhaps a foreign culture would take longer to assimilate; maybe the music would have to be heard 30 or even 50 times before it sunk in. Having taken the first step, further progress is always easier. To become a cultured people, time has to be invested in the accumulation of experience, which calls for a broad-minded attitude.
