I get around through the use of my oldest son's car or I take a taxi or tram. I also walk a lot because it is a good form of exercise.
I like to wear traditional Moroccan clothes called djellaba, but mainly I wear modest clothes that you could find in America. I prefer comfort over fashion!
In my free time, I like to see friends and family. I like to listen to music and the radio when I am not doing things around the house. Once a month, I organize a get together with family and friends. We get together on Friday and eat couscous, a traditional Moroccan dish.
I speak four languages: Moroccan Arabic, Tamazight (indigenous language of Morocco), French and English. I grew up speaking Arabic and Tamazight in my home, but later, I picked up French and English in school. In Arabic, we say As-salāmu ʿalaykum (السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ) which means "Peace be upon you." We also say Salam for a short way to say Hello.
I have a pet cat named Lucy, named after the Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." She was a stray that we found on the street and took her in.
