HI Aziz,
How are you?
I have just read your article. You have really done well.
I have rated 10.

My opinion? I am not in your situation so it is hard to say, but never give up.
I am sure the things come slowly. I used to know some Moroccans (educated Morrocans) who used to complain all the time about everything.Always negative. They used to complain to me how bad Morocco is and how unfair the politics of your country.

I used to feel very sad when they used to tell me all these stories. But they sit and complain all the time. One of them was out of work and kept complaining.
I adviced various things, but answer was always "Satoko, Morocco is different from Japan and Europe." " You don t understand" In the end I gave up. I felt really sick of hearing because I could not help on anything. Always negative.

These people are as educated as you are. But you have been taking things very positively. And look where you are now. Think positive, but not to have too much hope. Live your life as it comes is my advice. Believe me it looks more freedom of speech here, but media tells you what they want to tell you.
The news about Iraq (for example) is quite different in Belgium from here (UK). We have so many CCTV cameras here and it is getting worse and worse. We are being watched in the different ways. Do we have Freedom of speech? I am not quite so sure about it. Yes we can probably say more, but we also have to be very careful. Talking about CCTVs, when you go pass UK border in Dover port to go to France, around custom, we are being watched by at least 10 CCTVs. It is a sort of crazy thing. We all feel very uncomfortable about it. Similar situation is happening for telecommunications. But what do we do. We just have to live our lives. It looks like we can say what we want, but not quite so sure about it.

However, I want to stay positive at any time and try to make the best of my life.Continue stay positive as you have been always.

Sorry I am writing a bit of rubbish here :)
Good night and see you later

Satoko.
