Someone told me "If you haven't seen Marakesh, you haven't seen Morocco." Flashing lights, rolling smoke from centers of drum circles, snake charmers and constructed movie sets from films such as Gladiator and the Prince of Persia. This is Morocco? As a tourist in my third week in Morocco you are lured into the mystery and excitement that the interpreted Morocco of the West offers. My first impressions in Rabat and in the outskirts were of family, work and home. Once on the road I encountered the 'Empire of Postcards.' Exotic interpretations, street musicians, potion pushers, monkey handlers all prepped for a photo op. This stark contrast led me to think about the idea of perception, how we see things. I began to question what the perception of Morocco's culture was of those who are travelers. I also wanted to know how these "perceptions" were created. The next questions that came to mind was how does the tourist perception compare/contrast/contradict how Moroccans see themselves. Do they agree? somewhat agree? Completely disagree with tourist ideas? What does the tourist not see? What realities are not apparent?
In reference to the above images answer the following questions on the blog.
1. Define the word tourism.
2. Imagine you are in Morocco for the first time. Based on the images, what would you think about Morocco? What do you see, hear , smell, taste? How do the images make you feel? what popular media (films, tv etc.) do these images remind you of?
3. How are the above images different from last weeks images of homes, cities and daily life?
4. Look up at least three travel websites about Morocco. What kinds of images are used? What do they make you feel Morocco is like?
5. What is the purpose of travel photos, posters and brochures. How are commercial images like these different from family album images?
6. Notice the image of the tourist in the surgical mask getting her portrait taken in the shrine. Why do you think she and her group were wearing the masks. What impression do you get of her relationship with 'Morocco' from the image?
7. What do you think is the difference between travelers perspectives of Morocco and a Moroccans perspective of their own country? Why is this important to think about?

All of this pictures gives us an idea of their culture & how different it is from ours-Paola Hernandez P.1 ????? · 2011-07-22: 10:43

1.Tourism:the commercial organization and operations of vacations and visits to places of interest 2. If I was in Morocco I can picture myself smelling good fragrant spices and stuff like that and maybe different people crowded streets a very nice free life. The images make me feel like I should be the one there living life and just getting to know a culture that’s is probably kind of similar to mine. I can probably pictre as movie with action like Ther MuMMY AND sAHARA DESERT. 3. these images remind me of a city life. In this country I see that it is not like our cty life but it really reminds me of my hometown in Guatemala that’s how our city is like. 4. www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco, http://www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng, and www.morocco.com. They all show different images the first one shows a church but it shown through and ark .The second image shows a church or something like that on a ountain top the third image shows like the culture dressing children camels and that’s all. 5. THEY ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY DON’T REALLY SHOW REAL DETAILED PICTURES. tHE PURPOSE OF THEM IS TO MAKE YOU WEANT TO GO TRAVELING TO THAT PLACE. 6. I’M GUESSING SHE THINKS THE PLACE IS DIRTY OR SINCE THERE IS A LOT OF BOMBING SHE THINKS IT’S BAD TO SMELL THERE I ALSO THIMK SHE IS TRYING TO HIDE HER IDENTITY. 7.It is different because they live there and they love their home it’s like what perspective do they get when they see my country we all have different perspesctives.

picture 10 shows the making of a certain type of food just like we have here sebastian escobar per.1 ????? · 2011-07-22: 11:00

1. The commercial organization and operation of vacations and visits to places of interest 2.I think Morocco is a great place to find delicious food and good times. I feel as if i want to go to Morocco to experience every thing you did. 3. This week it is more pictures of party's and outside events. 4. they show the architecture of the buildings and art work. 5. the travel photos show how amazing morocco is. 6. i think that because the shrine is very old their is dust or something that is bad for you if you inhale it. 7. travelers usually say that they want to go somewhere because it seems amazing and fun but for the people that actually live their they probably don't think much of it because they see it every day. jonathan hernandez per.1 · 2011-07-22: 11:03

1. Tourism is usually commercial places to visit for people who do not live there. 2. I imagine Morocco is like Mexico. It a little different than how we live but there isn’t much of a difference. I would see some parts of Morocco that are like the city but others are more rural type. I would hear more wild animals and even insects like the crickets. I would taste all their typical foods and I think they would taste like our food from here because they seem to have the same ingredients. These pictures remind me of the pictures and documentaries they sometimes show on tv, like discovery channel. 3. These pictures are about food, religious traditions and cultural homes and buildings. Last week it showed more about the desert and nomads. 4. It shows nice pictures, like architectural and landscape photography. They make Morocco seem like a nice place to visit. 5. Commercial images want you to go there to spend your money. It is for the their benefit. Family pictures show the love and emotions. And when you look at them you remember how you felt back then. 6. The tourist got the wrong idea of Morocco by the rumors she must have heard. It makes Morocco seem like a place where you can get sick easily. 7. Travelers only see the outside image. The Moroccans know their land like the palm of their hand and appreciate it more. Both types of people should help each other to know the land see how Morocco really is, not just what the brochures show. Fatima Perez period 1 FatimaPerez · 2011-07-22: 11:03

They all show different images the first one shows a church but it shown through and ark. 5. THEY ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY DON’T REALLY SHOW REAL DETAILED PICTURES. THE PURPOSE SO WE CAN SEE HOW THEY LIVE IS NOT AS DIFFERENT FROM HOW WE LIVE. 6. I think it is part of her culture to cover them self. 7.It is different because they live there and they love their home it’s like what perspective do they get when they see our country we all have different ways of seeing things gustavo flores per.1 gustavoflores · 2011-07-22: 11:08

I Like the photo were they are in the caves because they are exploring and discovering new thing which i think is pretty cool also i think it is interesting because they have the job of a archaeologists because they are digging through a site maybe going to discover something.

1- tourism: the action of traveling around the world to visit and experience new sites, places, and people 2- I think Morocco is magnificent and extraordinary. I believe that Morocco is large in it self and can behold a variety of fragrances and herbs along with scents of people and hardworking labor. The images make me feel like there are a lot of people in Morocco (Friendly People) and if i wanted to talk to them that i could relate to their traditions or culture. This reminds me of the movie "THE SAHARA" and "Transformers 2 " when they are in the desert 3- These images are different because they focus on religion, tradition and food 4- I looked up www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco and www.visitmorocco.com and www.morocco.com the picture help to realize the beauty and elegance of morocco history and people. 5- the purpose of the pictures is to excite your mind of the places and things your missing out on and the push you to come and visit these extravagant resorts and cities. 6- i imagine that she is afraid of inhaling some sort of bacteria or she does not adapt to the smells of morocco 7- i believe that the perspectives of tourist is slightly different from that of moroccans because obviously the moroccans know the hidden truths of morocco while tourist can only see what is thrown at them through beauty. There defaults to everything and only moroccans can see clearly of them while the tourist surpass them to view the horrible side as a beautiful image MiguelReynoso · 2011-07-22: 11:21

1.Tourism:the commercial organization of vacations and visiting places of your interest 2. If I was in Morocco I would picture myself eating and i would smell the fragrances of spices and new food. This reminds me of the media "The Mummy Returns" 3. These images are different because these picture focus more on religion and tradition while the ones from last week focused on labor 4. www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco, http://www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng, and www.morocco.com. All three of these websites show different picture one of them shows a building shown through an arc. Another shows a slide show of pictures like a building on a mountain top and people walking through streets. The last one shows buildings, a waterfall people and some camels 5. They are taking so they could grab your attention and they are different because these show you the great things about this place and so you could want to travel there 6. She is probably wearing that mask because she is sick and does not want to infect anyone because she likes this place and does not want to ruin it for herself and for others. She might also not want to get any diseases herself while she is over there. 7. It would be different because they live their and have adapted and have got used to how the conditions are and travelers might see it different because they have gotten used to their country they think it is better than another country but there are some people that like visiting new countries and adapt quickly, they get attached and they don't want to leave. Albert Gonzalez Period 1 AlbertGonzalez · 2011-07-22: 11:21

1.The word tourism means to explore a new place and learn about the culture and traditions of the people that live there. Also to visit important landmarks that make that place so unique. 2.I think Morocco is very different to what im used to seeing mostly everything done by hand like the pottery. The food markets remind me of Mexico because thats how many foods and sweets are bought. Their social events look interesting with the fires and people playing music on the floor. 3.They show most of the outside world like the city & streets 4.http://www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng http://www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco http://www.morocco.com/ they show images of the architecture and the dessert that make Morocco seem very unique and beautiful. 5.The purpose is to make tourists want to visit and expose the beauty. They are different because commercial images focus on the things that make the country stand out and family images focus on the culture of the family and traditions they share. 6. The shrine must be very old so wearing the masks can protect from dust that can cause disease. She seems interested in visiting parts of Morocco that focus on culture 7. People from there must work hard because it does not look like one of the richest place in the world. They seem very religious and embrace their cultures and traditions. This is important because tourists cant judge the people from a country if they do not live there for they might have a different way of living their lives. gema garcia per.1 gemagarcia · 2011-07-22: 11:26

1. tourism: is going to a different kind of place and experience a now lifestyle 2. These photo make me want to live in Morocco and try the new culture. The markets remind me of Downtown LA. 3. Theses photos are completely different from last week. These show the city and how the mixed with modern culture and last week were about their culture and how they live. 4. Theses photos show architectural and landscape photography. Morocco seems like a good place to visit(: 5. these photos are different from commercials because they show the real fact and how the peoples life truly is. 6. i think its their culture to cover themselves up. 7. The Moroccans know their land and appreciate it more. Travelers need to see the true life style in morocco to understand how life is for them not what the brochures show. cintha garcia per.1 cinthiagarcia · 2011-07-22: 11:27

In photo#22 it looks like the people are practicing their religion which is similar to what we do but in a church. In photo#24 it looks like stores that are selling clothes which is cool to see because i never knew they had stores -JonathanZelaya P.1 Jonathan Zelaya Per.1 · 2011-07-22: 11:28

1. Tourism means the activity or practice of touring, especially for pleasure. 2. If I were in Morocco for the first time i would think it is cool and nasty because of the animals that are hanging. The pictures of the clothes and shoes remind me of Downtown L.A. 3. These pictures are different from last week's because this week's are of people working like doing pots and there's more pictures that show how the people dress over there. 4. these websites makes me think that Morocco os very religious because of the churches. 5. The purpose of travel photos and brochures is to convince people to go visit that place. Travel pictures are different from family album pictures because the family ones are not for advertising places or products. 6. Maybe the person wearing the mask doeesn't want to get sick or she thinks Morocco is a dirty place. 7. i think travelers think Morocco is really nice and cool and i think the people that live there are like whatever about it since they have been living there for a long time. - Leilani Roman, Period # 1 :) leilaniroman · 2011-07-22: 11:28

1.Tourism is traveling to different places for experiences and to see different lifestyles. 2.If i were to go to Morocco i will think its a really nice and a really different from my cultures i will also think its really nasty because of all the meat that is hanging in the streets. I also think it will have a different kind of smell and a different look around the cities. 3. Last week it was more about just like how families live and some kind of cultures and this week its more about their outside world of how they live and their daily life style. 4. The websites make me as if they were really religious or having many cultures and everyone following their culture. 5.The purpose for this images is that they want to persuade people to go visit. Taking pictures is different from an album because albums are more like memories and advertising are not. 6. My impression of that person is that maybe that place was a really old place and many of them had to get protected from the dust that is around them. 7.I think the impression that the visitors have is like they really like it and it looks nice and they compare it to other states or places. The people that live there they might think its a place where they really don't want to live in. -Vanessa Vasquez, Period 3. VanessaVasquez · 2011-07-22: 14:11

1. Tourism: The commercial organization and operation of vacations and visits to places of interest. 2. Morocco seems like an interesting place to go visit. I see people working hard for a living, I hear a lot of noise from so much people being in the streets, I smell an odd smell because of the dead animals, and I taste all that food I haven't tried. The images make me feel like when I first visited Mexico. The images remind me of films that have deserts. 3. The Images are different because last weeks images had a lot of sand and dry places and this weeks images had more building and houses. 4. The websites show beautiful pictures of Morocco and it makes it seem like a wonderful place to visit. The sites show landscapes, architectural pictures, and portraits of people. 5. The purpose is to see what to expect from Morocco and to show the people all the things they can possibly do while over there. 6. I get the impression that the people over there take care of the shrine and that they keep it really clean. 7. Travelers will probably only see the outside beauty of Morocco but the Moroccans see further than what travelers see. Many things have probably have a sentimental meaning to them.

#1: tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes #2: if i were in morocco for my first time ever, i would think it is a pretty busy place to be. i would see all the building with structure that is foreign to me, listen to the music of their culture. the image of the outside store with new clothing and new converse hanging remind me of pacific. i would taste the food they eat, i like to try new things. the pictures remind me of the movie Aladin. #3: these images are different because they show active sights with plenty of culture to be seen. #4: visitmorroco.com, lonelyplanet.com,morrocco.com, these websites make me wanna go there and relax, it seems pretty chill. #5: these photos are suppose to make it seem like such a great place where you can go enjoy yourself and try new fun things, grab your attention so they'll have many more visitors. #6: it makes me think that she thinks they are dirty and can catch a disease very quickly. it would make me feel uncomfortable. #7: a travelers perspective would be, everything there is new to them and odd. a person who lives there sees that everyday and is common to them.

Q#1- Tourism means the visit a place that you havent been to and to learn about their culture. Q#2- If i were to go to Morocco i would think that it is a different beautifull place with many different cultures. I love to taste the food to see how different it is from my culture. Q#3- The pictures remind me of my culture and how other cultures are way different. Q#4-visitmorroco.com, lonelyplanet.com,morrocco.com, these websites make me wanna go there and relax and it all seems beautiful. Q#5- All the photos show an image of how beautiful it is to be there it also shows how fun it is to be there and to be surrounded by all these people. Q#6- I think that there was a mad smell that could not be good for you and my idea of Morocco still doesnt change. I still find it to be a nice place. Q#7- A travelers perspective would be that everything is nice and may find it a very different from their homeland. everything is going to be new to them and very intereasting Veronica Martinez Per.4 veronicamartinez · 2011-07-22: 15:02

1. Tourism: is a a place where people go visit and get to know, usually a place were they don't live or get to go often. 2. I can imagine Morocco with a great atmosphere. With great food, the sound of animals, insects and children. the pictures remind me of an article of news. 3. This weeks pictures are more cultural showing the way people live, and type of food they cook. Last week it had to do more with the structure and natural surroundings like the dessert. 4. It's a lot of architecture and the contrast of the land. It Makes morocco look like a traditional and cultural place. 5. Family pictures demonstrate the love people have for each other. the commercial pictures tries to get your attention. 6. it gives me the impression that we have to wear the mask for our safety just incase a person gets an allergic reaction from the incense in the shrine. It makes me think that it might not be safe to visit. 7. Travelers see images and hear conversations which leads to making assumptions. Only the people that live in Morocco know how in reality it is.

1. tourism is is a dynamic and competitive industry that requires the ability to constantly adapt to customers' changing needs and desires. 2. Ii would see a bunch of people walkiong around and new smells and food and things to do there 3. here people are praying and here there are people making food i think its food and also there are clothes and shoes and food 4. im not sure about this one 5. the purpose of the photos is so that we would want to go over there and visit. its diffrent because the family pictures its about our family 7. its diffrent because where only there to visit and thats their home its important to think about this is so we know how we feel diffrently being where we are at Vanessa Valdez PERIOD 4 vanessavaldez · 2011-07-22: 15:17

Q1: Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purpose. Q2: These Images remind me of the way we live in California, for example, they shop like we do, they have markets just like we do but very different. Q3: They show more culture because of they're religion and the foods they eat. Similar to what we do but slightly different. Q4: I feel like Morocco is one of the places that are very rich in culture. Q5: These images show of what people do in there daily lives and what they like to do on free time. Q6: Maybe she wants to keep safe from any unknown germs. Q7:Because the people that live there are already used to seeing of what travelers usually don't see at home, therefore taking pictures can show the excitement of Morocco.

photo 2: Nice architecture, different from what we have in out community. photo 25: the molding and sculpting looks really interesting. photo 30: nice artichtecture as well, and very similar to out restrooms. Elva Cabanillas Perio: 4 elvacabanillas · 2011-07-22: 15:20

1. Tourism: The commercial organization and operation of vacations and visits to places of interest. 2.If i were to go to Morocco for the first time right away i'd notice all the tradition and culture going on. I'd hear the busy, hard working people. The pictures make me feel like if we, here in California are so distant from culture and tradition and i think we should be more like the people in Morocco because they look all united. 3. Last weeks pictures were more like of the lowerclass people and this weeks are more about like the city. 4. We see pictures of the deserts and nice buildings and camels. 5. The purpose of travel photos are to make people want to visit a certain place. The difference of the pictures are that they aren't showing the current things that are happening. 6. I think the lady with the surgical mask was wearing that because she doesn't think its sanitary over there. 7. I think people who are from Morocco think its a bad place to live because its poor and the travelers see it nice because it is something way different from what they are used to. It is important to think about it because of the very diverse point of views. lisseteviera · 2011-07-22: 15:27

1. Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. 2. Based on the images i feel that Morocco is a friendly place to be at. It makes me feel like if all this people are nice and humble. It makes me feel like they still live like before, when everyone was friendly and nice and everyone will know each other. they make me feel like home. 3. This images are different because they show how the people stick to each other, and how they can interact with others. 4. The images they used are nice interesting images you can find at morocco. They mostly show the deserts and camels. They make me feel like if i want to go there for my vacations. 5. Travel photos are to persuade people to go visit that certain place they only show food and nice places. These images are different from family album because it does not show the what is really happening in that certain place. 6. I think she is wearing a mask because she does not feel safe with the environment. She gives the impression that Morocco dose not have a clean environment. 7. Travelers always tend to really fall in love with the place they go visit, while the people that live in Morocco see it as a regular place. Sandra Membreno Per:4 sandramembreno · 2011-07-22: 15:27

Picture # 5 i like this photo because it seems like a get together thing and it looks like a mini version of a bonfire :) vanessahernandez · 2011-07-22: 15:28

Photo 4: It is nice to see buildings done by hand, reminded me of helping my family when we worked on my house. Photo 11: The people making hand made food is something I love to do before my party, me and my mom work on the food together. Photo 17: It looks nice, reminded me of Cabo and walking down the streets with my family and see the same thing. RobertoRodriguez · 2011-07-22: 15:28

1.Tourism: The commercial organization and operation of vacations and visits to places of interest. 2. Morocco looks interesting. I see ladies with their head covered which describes how they dress over here and their religion. I would hear the voices of the people selling food, clothing, etc. I want to taste the things that look like donuts and the other ones that look like pancakes. The images make me feel that the people over there are happy and friendly. This reminds me of the discovery channel because there is shows that show you about different interesting cultures around the world. 3. The last weeks images are different because there is different people, food, and religion. 4. To me Morocco looks really interesting the beach looks beautiful on the website i visit. It looks like a religious place. 5. These images are more focused in the places of Morocco, the family album would most likely have family memories. 6. She might be wearing the mask because there was probably chemicals around the placed. It seems like shes there to work not to experience different thing in Morocco. 7. Because they are used to their country. But the tourist are not, so they find it interesting what they experience, but not the Moroccans because that is their daily life. -Laura Suarez -Period.1 zlaura · 2011-07-22: 15:31

Rosa Vazquez Period 5 1. Tourism: The commercial organization and operation of vacations and visits to places of interest. 2.Morocco looks very interesting it has many different type of clothes that they wear and also all the food and the place that their in like in picture 17 it reminds me of here in Los Angeles because of all the swat meets are here. 3.Their different from the other pictures because their different people religion and also food. 4. They show like the architecture and trying to show that its a nice place to visit. 5. Its different because in commercials it shows like all the stuff that they should do and persuading the reader to go. And a family picture album its just the adventures that they went to and all the things that they bought. 6. The picture where the lady is wearing the mask gives and impression like if theirs some diseases or something that someone can get by just breathing them. Which make people not want to go to Morocco. 7. its different because people living their are already used to the food and the water and the way of living. And tourist that go have to be careful not to drink or eat something that they aren't used to because they might get like a disease or something bad. rosavazquez · 2011-07-22: 16:48

these pictures are very cultural...in picture #14, are they crushing coffee beans? i love the pictures where everyone is just around the fire! Brandy Pacheco Per.5 Brandy Pacheco · 2011-07-22: 16:52

Ricky espinoza per.5 espinozaricky · 2011-07-22: 16:52

1. Tourismis the practice of traveling for pleasure. It is also the business of providing tours and services for tourists. 2. Going to Morocco would be as if I was watching the discover channel. I would see a lot of people walking dressed really different than me. It would be really interesting to go to Morocco. 3. These images are more modern than last weeks images. The houses from last week were made of fabric. & these are made of cement. 4. I think Morocco is a really beautiful place to go to. 5. I think the purpose of travel photos, posters and brochures is for people can see how the place they are going to is like. 6. The lady in the mask probably thinks because she's in India she might get disease or something, because they are "supposedly" not as clean as us. 7. I think the people who live their know their land already and appreciate it. Travelers don't know the land that much. Joselyn Fierros Per.5 joselynfierros · 2011-07-22: 16:56

1. picture number 10 reminds me of mexico , when i use to eat gorditas. that is mexican dough that taste every good! steve parra · 2011-07-22: 17:01

1.Tourism: The commercial organization and operations of vacations and visits to places of interest. 2. If I was in Morocco I can picture myself smelling good spices and stuff like that and maybe different people crowded streets a very nice free life. The images make me feel like I should be the one there living life and just getting to know a culture that’s is probably kind of similar to mine. I can probably pictre as movie with action like the mummy and sahara desert 3. these images remind me of a city life. In this country I see that it is not like our cty life but it really reminds me of my hometown in Michoacan that’s how our city is like. 4.It shows nice pictures, like architectural and landscape photography. They make Morocco seem like a nice place to visit. 5. the purpose of the photos is so that we would want to go over there and visit. its diffrent because the family pictures its about our family 6. The lady in the mask probably thinks because she's in India she might get disease or something, because they are "supposedly" not as clean as us. 7. its diffrent because where only there to visit and thats their home its important to think about this is so we know how we feel diffrently being where we are at. robertoespinoza · 2011-07-22: 17:02

1.Tourism:the commercial organization and operations of vacations and visits to places of interest.! 2. If I was in Morocco I can picture myself smelling fragrant spices,different people, crowded streets, and a very nice free life. The images make me feel like Ive been thee before because they remind me of Mexico. I can picture a movie there in the Desert Or In A crowded City. 3. These images remind me of life in Mexico. In this country I notice that it is not similar to the way we live it really reminds me of my hometown Colima. 4. www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco, http://www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng, and www.morocco.com. All these websites show different images they are all very detailed and sow me what life is like in different parts of the world.!!! 5. Commercial images want you to go there to spend your money. It is for the their benefit. Family pictures show the love and emotions. And when you look at them you remember how you felt back then. 6. It seems as shes offending Morocco practically saying its a dirty country there. 7.Travelers will probably only see the outside beauty of Morocco but the Moroccans see further than what travelers see. Many things have probably have a sentimental meaning to them. I also think that people who live there dont find it as amazing as travelers do. Raymond Guzman Per.5 · 2011-07-22: 17:02

17.. i always thought they have a different style of wearing clothes but seeing these picture we were the same clothes they do michael gonzalez per.5 · 2011-07-22: 17:04

1.Tourist is a person that goes to a foreign place to visit and check out sights and also learn about new cultures 2.i would see marocoo as a very hot and dry place it would hear people talking in the markets i would smell home cooked meals this makes me feel like home in a way because every one does their daily things just in their own ways.Maroco reminds me of the film The mummie. 3.The images above are difirent from last week because these people look like they live un an urban are and they look like modern clothing were 4. the images that are used are beach side and also their architechture these images make me feel like maroco is alot of fun 5.The purpose of travel images are to show the fun and touristic sites. these images are diffirent because family pictures are memories and peer family. 6.by her wearing the mask it shows that shes probly scared of ay diseases but also makes it seem like shes going to a bad place and it looks bad 7.Travlers may see this place beautiful and acient also maybe poor and weird but the people who live their see it as home. Gonzalez Edwin P.5 gonzalezedwin · 2011-07-22: 17:07

1. Tourismis the practice of traveling for pleasure. It is also the business of providing tours and services for tourists. 2.I think Morocco is a great place to find delicious food's and experience great time. I feel as if i want to go to Morocco to experience every thing you did. 3. The Images are different because last weeks images had a lot of sand and dry places and this weeks images had more building and houses. 4. I think Morocco is a really beautiful place to go to. 5. They are taking so they could grab your attention and they are different because these show you the great things about this place and so you could want to travel there 6. The picture where the lady is wearing the mask gives and impression like if theirs some diseases or something that someone can get by just breathing them. Which make people not want to go to Morocco. 7.It is different because they live there and they love their home it’s like what perspective do they get when they see our country we all have different ways of seeing things Danny Jaramillo Per #5 · 2011-07-22: 17:07

1. Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. 2.I think The scorpion king is a movie that reminds of Morocco. 3. SOme of these images are more modern and has alot of people in them. 4. I think that Morocco is a place of adventure so i would go there. 5. i think the purpose of travel photos is to show how a place looks like so when someone would like to go there, they have an image of that they are going to see 6.she was probably wearing a mask because sh doesn't wasn't want to catch any airborne bacteria or something. Joseph Pineda per 5 · 2011-07-22: 17:08

1.Tourism: The commercial organization and operation of vacations and visits to places of interest. 2. going to Morocco would be very interesting. i probably wold be very amazed at all the familiar and unfamiliar things i see there. what i see in the images is that they might dress differently but they do sell clothes that we were here in California. on movie that this place sorta reminds me off is "the prince of persia". 3. the images are different from last weeks images because in this place the people are dressed differently. also there is more stores and more people which it makes this place look crowded. 4.www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco, http://www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng, and www.morocco.com. in the first website it shows a beautiful picture of the city.The second image shows a church. the third image shows like the culture dressing children camels. the make me feel like morocco would be a very wonderful place to visit someday. 5. i think the purpose of travel photos is to show the tourist the fun side of morocco. 6. she was probably wearing the mask cause she thinks the people in morocco might be infected with something. her relationship with morocco isnt so nice. yasmin ayon per.5 · 2011-07-22: 17:08

1. tourism is when you visit places your interested to visit. 2.morocco looks like a very interesting place to visit and somewhere you can learn many things from. i bet in the night its peacefull. i think the food there smells very strong and very good. this images remind me of home, because we do very similar things. 3.there was a lot more pictures of what the whole family/ people do for fun and how they use there time and it was sort of like we did our family history pictures. 4. the pictures show a lot of deserts and little towns were people are selling things.the woman there ware the same things the woman in your pictures are wearing. Morrocco is good place to learn how to do different things. 5. the picturs in posters and brochures are made to look good but the ones in family albums show the true beauty. 6. she probably thinks that the people carry around diseases and she doesnt want to catch them so she wears a mask. 7. seeing new things is interesting for us but for them to see the same thing everyday must be boring so the would probably want to expore the world too. johannaaguilar · 2011-07-22: 17:11

1. tourism is when people from another country come to your country to explore 2. i would smell things differently and i would defenetly try out the food! the clothes and things i would see would be different. I would also try to blend in and wear their clothing 3. well the pictures are more about stores now and the suroundings. I see a lot of meat hung up and clothing for sale. 4. I haven't seen much of moroco i would not like to go. 5. they want to advertise moroco, so people would go over there 6 wearing a mask to me is disrespectfull to the morocon people steve parra · 2011-07-22: 17:12

I like picture #7 because it has many people and it seems like they are having a good time. -Luis Morales p.6 luismorales · 2011-07-22: 17:35

1- I think its when a person visits a place, but doesn't stay. 2-These images sometimes remind me of Mexico. I know in Mexico they have open markets and everyone can see what's being sold. I think it's a packed place. It looks like there's a lot of people. 3-These images look like the cities from here. Instead of The plain areas from last weeks photos'. 5. It's to convince you to go there as a vacation and spend a lot of time. 7- They love there place. They would feel weird if they were here. They'll have to adapt to new places, climate, etc. These pictures remind me of Mexico a lot. It brought me other prospective of morocco. brenda rodriguez period 6 brendarodriguez · 2011-07-22: 17:44

1.The word tourism means the people that go to explore a new place with unique landmarks and learn about the culture and traditions of the people living there. 2.I think Morocco is very different to what is around me because everything i see there appears to be hand made. These are different than last weeks because there is more interaction with everyone with the music and all that good stuff. 3.They show most of the outside world like the city & streets 4.http://www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng http://www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco http://www.morocco.com/ they show many pictures of the different architecture and weather that seems to be there. It seems like a place to go to find an adventure 5.The purpose is to attract and encourage tourists to go visit. They are different because commercial images focus on the things in order to advertise the country. the family images focus on the culture and traditions. 6. The shrine must be old and have some sort of particles in the air so people are asked to wear masks...or maybe its REALLY dusty. She seems interested in the culture of Morrocco 7. I think that the tourist might see the place to be some what poor but very full of culture and tradition and would want to explore more of that. The people from there must enjoy being there and see there country as a success because their traditions are alive. It is important because maybe you have to take a look on whether or not your traditions are being kept alive. GonzalezCecilia (Cecyy) Per.6 · 2011-07-22: 17:46

1)The commercial organization of vacations and visits to places of interest , 2)On my first day of Moroccro I would be inrested to see everything in one day, Ill also be exicted about tasting new foods , There isnt a movie that reminds me of this weeks pictures , 3) Last weeks ictures were mostly about a couple of families that were travling , and this weeks picutres are of the whole city 4) The pictures that are being used and many deserts and also the articulatral , it makes me feel like Morocco is VERY Hot , 5) The Difference is that commericals and brouchers make it loo more convincing , and the family pictures are just like for you to keep as memerios , 6) The Lady with the mask is showing gme that she might have a disease or the artist is just using it for the portiat , 7) The toursit see it as an leaning expericence , and something new the pepole that live in Morocco nothing really chages its like an everyday thing for them xitlali Garcia · 2011-07-22: 17:50

1. tourism is when people go to another country to explore a different culture or go for business purposes. 2. To me it seems like theres always something going on in Morocco. Different types of things and different food. It'd probably smell differently too since it looks really dry over though plus the desert. The images kind of remind me of movies taking place in old times like mainly Prince of Persia because of the way it all looks and the scenery which is pretty cool except for the fact its probably really hot over there, thats the part that kind of sucks. 3. The buildings look a bit different and the inside of the houses look different as well. I'd say they look a bit nicer than the pictures from last week. 4. They show the deserts and the stores and hotels, which look really cool. The only thing I wouldn't like in Morocco if i ever visited is the heat because it looks really hot over there. 5. Commercials kind of show the good sides of a place to travel to, which is sometimes not even a good place. They show the good sides in order to get tourists to go over there but in family pictures it would look much different from the pictures they show in commercials or brochures because families that live there don't live in the fancy hotels. 6. Its probably to different to the people of Morocco. its what they're accustomed to which may not be what we're accustomed to here in the U.S. but its a different culture with different rules and beliefs. She's probably wearing to see how it is with the people who wear over there in Morocco or maybe there's a lot of sand around and she's trying to cover her face. If she isn't trying to just cover her face then I'd think her relationship with Morocco is that everyone wears that who lives in Morocco. 7. To the people of Morocco its probably just everyday life because they've lived there all their lives so its what they're used to but to us it seems so different because what we're used to in the U.S. isn't what everyone all over the world is used to. There are many differences between the U.S. and the other countries so if we visit Morocco or any other country it'd be completely different to what we do here.

Picture#17 its pretty cool cause it doesn't matter where you are they still have one of the same styles in fashion-Jasmin Perez Per.6 JasminPerez · 2011-07-22: 17:55

1. Tourism is the is when someone visits a place of their interest. 2. -If i were to visit morocco for the first time i would see many new things that i am not used to see on an every day basis in my life, there would be many new this i would discover such as; there music, sense of fashion and types of food and celebrations they have. 3. -Last weeks images were more of every day life style; this weeks images are more about how they do certain traditional celebrations.This week i also see a little about what type of cloth they have in morocco. 4. -The images they use are mostly images of deserts, it seems to me that morocco must me a very dry and hot place. 5. -The purpose of he images of morocco are so people can get attracted to the place and would like to go visit. 6. -The impression that image made me get was that she made me feel like if morocco has some type of illness that she did not want to get. 7. -Morocco tourist this people that live in morocco live weird. And Moroccan people may think that we may live weird. danielalopez · 2011-07-22: 17:58

1.) people that travel but dont stay but comeback 2.)These images make me feeel like im poor i smell dirt see poor people i dont think its healt conditions 3.)These images are different because they show there culture 5.)To show how awesome it is and to persuade you to visit 6.)IT LOOKS like shes religious and has respect 7.)theyre used to their place and we are not luis silva · 2011-07-22: 17:59

Yenifer Davila Per. 6 1. Tourism-is to travel to places you don't know about for recreational, leisure or business reasons. 2. I would think that the culture of the people who live in Morocco is by far different to my culture. I see structures that I'm not use to seen. Hear a language that I don't understand. Smell and taste different things I'm not use to. 3. This picture show more about their culture religion, food, clothe, and traditions than the ones from last week. 4. Pictures of their people and how do they dress and look, their dessert and their type of house. It make me think that their culture is not that diverse and that they really follow their main religion which is Islamic. 5. they make you want to go to the places shown in the photos and family pictures are more to keep memories and picture of your family members. 6. Maybe she is not use to the dust or the weather there. The impression it shows is that tourist are sometimes not use to the places they are visiting. 7. I think that the travelers and the people living there have a really different perspective from their culture and country. They are use to seeing those thing and the travelers are not. YDavila · 2011-07-22: 18:03

1.Tourism:the commercial organization and operations of vacations and visits to places of interest 2. If I was in Morocco I can picture myself smelling good fragrant spices and stuff like that and maybe different people crowded streets a very nice free life. The images make me feel like I should be the one there living life and just getting to know a culture that’s is probably kind of similar to mine. I can probably pictre as movie with action like Ther MuMMY AND sAHARA DESERT. 3. these images remind me of a city life. In this country I see that it is not like our cty life but it really reminds me of my hometown in Guatemala that’s how our city is like. 4. www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco, http://www.visitmorocco.com/index.php/eng, and www.morocco.com. They all show different images the first one shows a church but it shown through and ark .The second image shows a church or something like that on a ountain top the third image shows like the culture dressing children camels and that’s all. 5. THEY ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY DON’T REALLY SHOW REAL DETAILED PICTURES. tHE PURPOSE OF THEM IS TO MAKE YOU WEANT TO GO TRAVELING TO THAT PLACE. 6. I’M GUESSING SHE THINKS THE PLACE IS DIRTY OR SINCE THERE IS A LOT OF BOMBING SHE THINKS IT’S BAD TO SMELL THERE I ALSO THIMK SHE IS TRYING TO HIDE HER IDENTITY. 7.It is different because they live there and they love their home it’s like what perspective do they get when they see my country we all have different perspesctives. jennifer torrez Per.6 · 2011-07-22: 18:07

1. Tourism is the pure act of traveling to another country trying to expirience the life and wonders of that certain place by just walking down the streets. 2. If I were to be in Morroco I would think how breathtakingly beautiful and different it is compared to here where it is simple. Hearing the bustling of people in the market place would be a bit exciting seeing all the things we see here as well. The smell of spices or just traditional food comes to mind when imaging this place. They bring about that even across the sea some things are just like somewhere else no matter where in the world. In a way it reminds me of the movie you mentioned The Prince of Persia for it brings all the beauty out and how they take time to make a city as beautiful as it is. 3. Last weeks photos were mostly about how we really are more alike than we think. Yet this week's pictures are more on how it really is different between two places (like when they are praying in the street, you don't see that often here). 4. They showed the luxuries of going there and how beautiful it's accets are more than anywhere else when you see the pictures for the first time. 5. They are simply used for promotion and show the naural beauty of the country unlike in photo albums where it is mostly about family and friends and everyday things. 6. She maybe thinks she might get a disease or something if she does not wear something to protect herself. They are just admiring from afar not really getting in to expirience the whole thing as it really is. 7. To tourists Morocco is a place where you don't see everyday therefore you travel to see how it looks and maybe the traditions they have unlike when being a native it is quite common to see those hints all the time. It is important for we are in their shoes when we live in our natural bubble that before we don't tend to notice. hernandez giselle per.6 · 2011-07-22: 18:08

1.Tourism will be when a person out of that state goes and wonders around. 2.Being in morocco would be a wonderful experience because i'l be able to see the difference of the world&how each human being has its own cultural.At first i may feel sorry because it seems kind of poor..but i"ll like to help..&see things a better way like they do.the agriculture is beautiful 3.These week images seems like the higher class of morocco..all the items are nice&fancy. 4.Morocco seems like a place where they have alot of agricultural&like to show alot of thier cultural. 5.The purpose is to attract and encourage tourists to go visit. They are different because commercial images focus on the things in order to advertise the country. the family images focus on the culture and traditions. 6.. i think that because the shrine is very old their is dust or something that is bad for you if you inhale it.&she may also think its like a dirty place. 7.t is different because they live there and they love their home it’s like what perspective do they get when they see my country we all have different perspesctives. zaragozalucky per6 · 2011-07-22: 18:10

1. The activity or practice of touring, especially for pleasure. 2. I think that it would be really different especially the ambience around. I think i would see alotof different colorful clothing and many handmade things, I would imagine a smell of foreign food and bread. I think that it would be plce really different from here.I think it would be a really fun expierence. 3. These weeks images differ from last weeks because last weeks pictures, didnt have so much architect in them. They were more of dessert but here in these weeks pictures,life for these people seems a little more easier. They have a city with a population, they have stores,and many similar products from over here. 4. Many of these websites show the nice abiense and alot of pictures of nature. And it would seem like a very nice place to go to. They are really catching and convincing photos. 5. The photos from commercials,advertisment and etc, really dont relate to peoples everyday lifes, they just show the places there is but dont really show the life style. 6. The lady is probably wearing a mask because this place might have some kind of virus or flu, it might make people less interested to go but then again, any other place can have something like this similar. 7. I think that we see it really different because we dont see this kind of stuff everyday it is something new to us, we have high tech modern stradegies they do to but were more advanced with it.

ms. morroco looks intense it looks like you are having quite an adventure. you have experienced something most people over here dont experience in their life. make sure you enjoy every day that you are over there and come back with a great story to tell. ruben hernandez p.6 · 2011-07-22: 18:14

1. Tourism is a commercial organization and operation of taking vacations to visit any place of your interest. 2. From the images I've seen of Morocco I think is a facinating place that i wish i could visit some day. It looks mazing and I'm pretty sure there are many things you could do there. 3. They are different because they are more cultural and knowing more about the places that there is. 4. The agencies show really nice pictures of morocco. It makes you want to go and explore everything. It makes it feel like everything is peace. 5. There different because they are trying to convice us to go and a family album has more memories of us and what we do. 6.It makes me belief like if she didn't wanted to be as if she was discriminating the and/ or thought that they are dirty. 7.Its diferent because you had never seen it before and because its something your exploring.For them is diferent because they have been living there for many years. Its important because we could learn how to see our own country. Anallely Atanacio Per.6 anallelyatanacio · 2011-07-22: 18:14

1.tourism;traveling to another country to experience life. 2.If was in morocco the first thing that would come to my mind would be to try all the food, then i would like to go look around at the cool places. David Gavilan per.6 ????? · 2011-07-22: 18:14

1. Tourism is traveling or visiting a city that you do not live in, across the world. 2. Based on these images i would think Morocco is a beautiful country with lots to explore. I could see and hear family and friends spending time together. The images make me feel like it is a comfortable place to be, and very welcoming. 3. This city looks more well built, maybe more popular. It looks like a commercial city. 5. The purpose of travel photos is to get you to go the city that is being advertised. They are different from family albums because people that live there know the country well and see it from a different point of view. 6. They were probably wearing the masks because they wanted to avoid any diseases in the city. my impression of them is that they might think it is beautiful but they do not feel comfortable there, and do not respect it. 7. A tourist has a different point of view because someone that lives there is already used to the customs they practice but to anyone else it is all new. it is important because tourist do not know everything about the country. -Alexandra Soto Per.6 alexandrasoto · 2011-07-22: 18:16

1. when a person from a different place goes to a place they have not been. 2.I think that it would be really different especially the ambience around. I think i would see alotof different colorful clothing and many handmade things, I would imagine a smell of foreign food and bread. 3.These week images seems like the higher class of morocco..all the items are nice&fancy. ????? · 2011-07-22: 18:16

1. tourism is when people from another country goes and visit a place that they have never been to. 2.i imagine that there is a lot of sand and rural places in morocco.also that there is a lot of culture and detai to the buildings. 3. these are more about market where they go to buy many supplies. 4.www.lonelyplanet.com/morocco<>www.visitmorocco.com<>www.morocco.com 5. the purpose of pictures and brochures from other places is for people from other places are able to at least get a view of what it is like 6.it is part of their culture 7.moroccans might think that their home is very normal but the tourist might be very impressed and blown away because they are not use to seeing all the beautiful landmarks denissedelgado · 2011-07-22: 18:53

1. Tourism - Practice of traveling for places of interest 2. Morocco looks like a country that has a lot of culture and kept it, unlike many families from different parts of the world. I see crowded streets, hear a different language and the beat of the drums, smell the different spices, and taste the Moroccan food. The images make me think of home and our families traditions, because we have kept our culture the most that we can. They do not remind me of any movie or TV, but I can see how each country uses their culture in their media. 3. These pictures show outdoor markets and more liberty on the streets, but they compare from the food. 4. The images are of happy people and beautiful places. They make you think all of Morocco is like that to make you want to go there. 5. The purpose is to convince people to go to certain places to visit and boost their economy. The difference is that family albums show the customs of one family, while brochures show only what appeals to foreigners. 6. The woman is probably afraid of being contaminated because she doesnt want to breathe the air. Her relationship with Morocco is just for tourism. 7. Moroccans are used to their home while tourists have a chance at a first impression which determines whether they like it or not. It makes us think about what other people think about our country and what we will think of others. Melissa Guerrero Per. 6 ????? · 2011-07-22: 20:10

1.Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purpose. 2.Morocco seams very interesting a place that you see very different cultures from the ones i seen before.I see many people getting together and having fun doing what their culture do.:)I could smell the smoke of the fire, the smell of those stores that have many food inside like when i went to Mexico those are things i would smell.The images make me feel like if that could be part of my culture and family.These pictures remind me of those people that go out and get pictures and it stays like journalism because its not like you could see that all over the world. 3.There different because in these pics you see how people get together n do something different. Also the places look different like more city type that you would see here. 4. The images shown on the website are of a really pretty place but also they also put pictures of a place a dirty place with alot of trash and stuff. They have many pics of nature n the building n houses that they live in its interesting n nice it makes me think that a trip over there will be nice. 5.Well probably the purpose of it is to make the people to travel over there in the posters theres not many words of anything. 6.Probably they think that its really dusty or theres alot of dust in that place there at. 7.People might think that morocco is not the healthy place as the people that lived there for the longest.Its important because people think difrent of everything ????? · 2011-07-26: 11:18

I particularly love the pictures of the donkey carrying crates of Coka-cola and the gentleman in his tunic and baseball cap. When I think of Morocco, my imagination tends towards toward the spice markets and the festivals in the marketplaces. I think it would be full of the smells of heavy spices-and animals(alive and hanging in shops) and people, lots of people. I think that for someone from a western (European or American) city, the smells might be overwhelming. What would be normal in a market in Morocco we might consider unclean or overwhelming in the west. ????? · 2011-08-15: 15:37
