At the end of the first day of my trip and in Morocco. Rabat is a total contrast to back home; culture and language. My French is a bit rusty to say the least but I have managed better than I expected. Today I managed to speak to some market stall holders about micro finance and strangely enough it was just as interesting listening to those who didn't have access or want micro finance as it was speaking to those who did have micron loans. Really loving the different architecture here and the street food- best corn on the cob I have tasted. Tomorrow Foundation Ardi, then hopefully on Saturday on to Fes!
Well done for your safe arrival in Morocco Jack. Hostel doesn't look too bad either. Looking forward to your next blog.

My name is Jack McCarthy,19, and I am a BSc Economics student at the University of Liverpool. This summer I have generously been given a travel research scholarship by the Circumnavigators Club Foundation in New York and my University to carry out research into micro-finance and its impacts upon communities in the developing world. To do this I am traveling in 5 countries across 3 continents during a 10 weeks period and this is my blog. MOROCCO-NEPAL-BANGLADESH-THAILAND-MEXICO CASABLANCA-KATHMADU-DHAKA-BANGKOK-MEXICO CITY
