Being neutral

I realize that a number of my entries talk about negative experiences. That's not what i want to say in general. On the contrary, i'd rather be a neutral observer while on "The Road Less Traveled."
When people ask me, "How do you like Morocco or how do you compare Morocco with America or China?" I can honestly answer that there are many things which i like about Morocco.
For example, the positives:
1. strong family loyalty (which is largely lacking in American society). There is a filial piety which resembles Chinese culture.
2. respect for elders and age in contrast to American culture, which is youth oriented and despises old age. Youth show a lot of respect to grandparents and older relatives. This is one good place to retire!
3. inexpensive: the cost of living is less. Our money goes farther. Labor is cheaper. You can get a plumber to come to your house!
4. good public transport system; one can get from anywhere to anywhere else by taxi, bus, train, coach, donkey, truck, or foot! And it's cheap.
5. slower pace of life: people have time to sit, drink tea, eat cookies, and chat. Neighbors still drop by unannounced.
6. hospitality: Moroccan hospitality is 2nd to none. We have invited into strangers' homes "to drink tea" while on the train, on the bus, in the taxi, in the city or the country.
7. generosity: again, people have given us gifts on the spur of the moment, simply because we are visiting them or they are visiting us. Or just when we meet. One time on the train, we struck up a conversation with a young woman, who was wearing a handful of rings on her fingers. Lil admired one, and the next thing was - the lady took it off and gave it. Despite our protests, she insisted that Lil keep it.
8. weather: we live in the south where it is warm; it's kind of like Southern California. Sunny, dry, beaches. Both Moroccans and foreign tourists love coming here to visit and live.
9. safety and security: guns are outlawed, so we don't worry about some nut pulling out a pistol and shooting us at a traffic stoplight. Sure, people can get mad, shout their heads off and bristle their feathers like roosters, but mostly it's just show. Very few real fights occur.
10. less sexual temptations: most girls and women dress very conservatively, so we don't get grossed out by crazy beer ads. We can go to the beach and not have to turn away from all the bikinis and public displays of affection (making out).
11. less social deviants: there are less drunkards and drug addics on the street - it helps that alcohol is prohibited.
12. traditional gender values: boys look like boys and girls look like girls. It's kinda nice not to be confused and trying to guess who is who? If anything, the guys are generally handsome and the gals are very pretty. All have enormous beautiful eyes. Quite a few people on the street look like they could be top models in the West.
13. decent dress: people dress well and we appreciate it - none of this ratty casual dress we have in America.
14. religious: people mention and talk about God all the time, even if sometimes it's just cultural. There is an attitude that God exists. No questions about aetheism.
15. healthy food: the fresh produce, seafood and meat are excellent. And it's all fresh! We eat better than in the US. Coucous and tajine are delicious!
16. globally minded: people know about the rest of the world and are far more knowledgeble about the US than Americans are about Morocco. They watch satellite TV from the Middle East, Europe, etc.
17. multi-lingual: people know at least 2 languages, Moroccan Arabic and standard Arabic. Most know 3-4, adding French and either Spanish or English. Many know 5, just add Berber. Makes for exciting conversations.
18. spectacular landscapes: Morocco has it all; white sand beaches, snow capped mountains, deserts, medieval imperial cities, remote villages, and rolling countrysides.
19. easy access: it's easy to travel in and out. Close to Europe. Yet worlds away.

Gee, am i convinced that Morocco is a good country to live in?
