Moroccans would do well on Wall Street

To shop in Morocco is to bargain. Unless you are at the grocery store, pretty much every price is up for negotiation. I hate shopping like this. Especially since I am not buying expensive things like carpets so I end up haggling for 10 minutes to reduce my price probably 10 dirhams. The exchange rate is 8 MAD for 1 USD so this is actually a losing time-is-money proposition. But when in Rome...

Couple of things...
1) I fixed the commenting feature so comment away!
2) There are captions and titles for the pictures but you have to actually open the photo album, you can't see it from the slideshow.
3) I think on some of the pictures I got some things a little confused. The medina is the actual downtown city. It has a wall around it and would be in contrast to the "ville nouvelle", or the downtown area created by the French during the occupation. The pictures I have are of the souk, or market, that is located inside the medina. Hope that is more clear. I'm learning along with you all!

Did you know...
The wife of the Moroccan king is not called a queen, but a princess. Yep, I didn't either.
