in the movies.
I found the people to be really friendly, for the most part, and the city was clean
and exciting. I saw a show which was popular in the country.

Bruce is a sixtyyearold man. He lives in Khémisset, a city in Morocco all his
life. It is small but he likes it very much.

comfortable. It is not very cold in winter or very hot in summer.

and less car noise. There are almost no factories either. This makes the city cleaner
than the big modern ones. Living in a small city, as well, makes him know most
people here. But in big cities most people often feel lonely.
The third reason why he likes this city is its rural feel. In the city, he can still
enjoy nature. And the four seasons are different but beautiful.
The language is also an important reason. People here speak Berber(柏柏尔语).

culture.
