The living conditions in the 1800s. Spending more time in the 1800s is harder then its seems. The living space is very close in and there is not a lot of room to live. One room in a house is per one family. If you want to know how its feel like living in the 1800s, it is like putting 8 families in your own house. Some people do live in houses that size of which you call it your bedroom. There is only one bedroom in your house. You have to share an room with your kids and yourself. Some house are even smaller then your bedroom. You dream of having a really big kitchen with everything you need. In the 1800s your kitchen is smaller then your kitchen you don't like. Living in this conditions is easy to catch a disease. Kids are easy to get sick because that are running around with no shoes on. If you think your house not perfect enough, at least it is better then the living space in the 1800s. Experiencing the living conditions i rather choose my own house over theres. What the have mine is not as bad.

Well the good news is that I have not been sick at all this week. My stomach has been totally fine, which made everything. Unfortunately, the increased pollution and other new environmental factors have started to trigger my asthma. Therefore, I have come to the realization that I would not have survived in a pre-modern society. I would not have survived the Oregon Trail. I would have died of pneumonia. I would have been the small, sickling, bed-ridden girl in Victorian England. My body is weak and inferior and can only handle highly controlled environments. Me - in the 1800s Mon We were all a little tired from the Sahara trip, making class a little difficult. My eyes were also super sensitive, I think from the sun and sand of the desert. After class, we wandered through the Medina, trying to find Susannah some new shoes (the ones she bought did not survive the desert). It is amazing how complex the streets of the Medina are - I feel more comfortable with the "main roads" but there are so many small streets that make it easy to get turned around. Good thing I don't have to navigate, otherwise I would never make it out. Tues Classes are definitely getting harder. Arabic does not come easily to me and I really struggle to remember the vocab. After class, we just worked on homework all night. Super exciting. Wed/Thurs I am (luckily) not the only sickling on this trip and another girl in our program had to go to the hospital. Susannah went to see her during lunch, so I had to go home by myself. And I didn't die. It was a miracle. (And the medicine worked for the girl in our program - she is doing much better now) We got to watch the Turkish soap opera - we think that it is almost at the end of the series because things are getting crazy. And then lots of homework. In English, the soap is called "Lady's Farm" And Thursday was pretty typical. Sorry, this week is kind of boring. Fri Quiz in the morning (rough) and then home for lunch. The afternoon class was just Susannah and me because everyone else from our class was traveling. It was actually really nice to get some personal instruction - and I clearly need it. After class, we went home to a surprise. Our family was hosting a bachelorette party for a friend. You could hear the music booming down the street. It was crazy! View from the balcony - by the end, the center of the room was filled with people dancing The bride was getting henna while all her girlfriends had a huge dance party around her. It was really fun to get to watch. Sat We decided to stay in Fez this weekend because of the wedding and so that we could really explore the city. We went to a hotel pool during the early afternoon because it was over 100 degrees out. It felt really nice to relax by the water! Then we went into the heart of the Medina and did a little shopping. I got some really cool pants and a kaftan, which is a type of traditional Moroccan dress. Susannah and I in our Kaftans Then we went out to a nice dinner at an Italian-ish restaurant (everything here still has a distinct Moroccan touch). It was a really fun and relaxing day. Pizza and beer - Moroccan style Sun Wedding day! We went to the courtyard where the ceremony was held around 2 and didn't leave until 10:30. There was a lot of sitting around in the heat (again, over 100 degrees) but it was amazing to get to see such a traditional Moroccan event. We got lunch and tea (a couple times) and watched the teens and kids dance in front of the bride and groom. For most of the wedding, the bride and groom sat on a throne-like couch. It was pretty spectacular. The bride had 4 different dresses and got carried 3 separate times. My host mom and me The couch-throne the bride and groom sat at for most of the wedding One course of our lunch Bride and groom, right before the bride was lifted into the air (outfit #1) Bride and groom (yes, he is on his phone) (outfit #2) My favorite outfit (#3) End of the wedding (outfit #4) - they kissed while in the air! (sorry it's a little blurry) I was so thankful that I got to witness such an important event! Two weeks left - let's hope my lungs last until then!

The Flats were initially established as a residential area for a heavily Irish population in the mid 1800s. Many of the workers that built the Ohio and Erie Canal, which jumpstarted the development of Cleveland, lived in the West Bank of the Flats but eventually left for downtown because of tough living conditions. In the mid-19th century, the Flats became an industrial center of Cleveland. John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil played a big part in that when the company built a headquarters on the East Bank. Steel Mills then became the defining industry of the area, starting all the way back in the late 1800s until many closed in the 1970s. Then, the Flats became a popular late night and entertainment district in the 1980s and 90s before dying down in the late 90s. The area was pretty quiet despite a few remaining bars and restaurants and factories until the revival of the East Bank in 2013.
Tenements were low‑rise apartment buildings, known for cramped spaces and poor living conditions, that emerged in urban centers like New York City in the 1800s.

Germany at the beginning of the nineteenth century is a fictitious story. The novel is a work of imagination and an excerpt from the real history of that time. All names are fictitious and chosen purely at random. Much of the atmosphere of the war events and poor living conditions around 1800 have been lost. Where there were no credible records, I used my imagination. The text of the book is written in German and Chinese.
