Shopping in Morocco: Tassels
by Victoria Challancin
For the last four years I have l been leading small tours to Morocco. For three of those years in my various encounters I occasionally encountered decorative tassels. And then on my last trip, my oh my, they burst into being!
Mine or theirs..,I still don't know.
While the English teacher in me eschews empty hyperbole, a tiny voice inside says...
...amazing
...awesome
And that same teacher says no, no, no to alliteration, while the tiny voice whispers...
...delightful
...swish
And that same teacher says no, no, no to alliteration, while the tiny voice whispers...
...dazzling
...delicious
...delectable
dynamic...
But the one thing this English teacher can embrace: the onomatopoeic Moroccan Arabic word for tassels, swishia
...swish
...swish
I can't wait to see what I'll find in 2010...
