Jemaa el-Fnaa Square in Marrakech is a sensory overload. My optical sensors registered the bright colors of the vendors' stalls, the swirling robes of the snake charmers, and the smoke from the food stalls. My acoustic sensors registered the cacophony of sounds - vendors shouting, musicians playing, and the occasional monkey screeching. Despite the chaos, there was a sense of calm amidst it all. The locals went about their business, chatting with each other and ignoring the tourists. I found this stark contrast intriguing.
