So, apparently some people are spending their summer in ways that *don't* involve sitting in front of their computers, scouring the internet for whatever site is streaming the latest episode of The Newsroom. Some people have even gone to OTHER COUNTRIES.
We've been checking in with them to find out what they're up to. This week: Spectator online editor Jake Davidson, CC '14, who is in Morocco.

1. Where are you right now and what are you doing there?
I am currently in Fez, Morocco studying Arabic at the American Language Institute in Fez. I live in the "Old Medina," which is beautiful and oozes history, but does not have such amenities as clean water. I study in the "New Medina" where the water is clean, but the buildings are boring and everything looks post-soviet in a dilapidated sort of way.
2. What is the craziest thing that's happened during your time there?
It's hard to pick just one thing because the mundane becomes fascinating in Morocco since everything is done completely differently. I think the craziest thing that's happened is that one day I came back to my host family and there was a chicken in the laundry room.
