Weekly Blog Roundup

Farah Kinani writes on the Global Voices Blog Roundup..."Now that I’m becoming more familiar with the Moroccan blogosphere, I can tell that one of its characteristics is the fact that many of its members are doctors or student-doctors. In this week’s roundup, we’ll find out what interested some of those doctors-bloggers last week. We’ll also pay a visit to some “news oriented” blogs, and will read excerpt from literary ones."

Miliana writes about the experiences of an American woman in Morocco in her blog What Fresh Hell is this?... It's a culture, to use a well-worn phrase, that's very much like an onion. There are outer layers that a first or second time visitor may see. It is only through several visits and a genuine interest in peeling back the layers and examining what's underneath that one can truly appreciate the heart of the rich combination of history and tradition.

And finally, Cat in Rabat is on holiday in the dunes. We hope she has a wonderful time and returns soon with great stories.
