RE: Looking Up: Sign Here for Blue Skies and Starry Nights

Maintenance and repairs in Morocco are a song compared to what they are in the U.S., and the craftsmanship is extraordinary. You'd die if I told you the quote for repairing the corner of the house, which includes steel rebar reinforcement. You couldn't add a deck to a house in the U.S. for that amount. Some things in Morocco are expensive, like cars and internet service. But many other things mirror the ratio of dirham to dollar: one dirham equals approximately ten U.S. dollars. So a repair that would cost upwards of $20,000 in the U.S. could cost as little as $2,000 here.
