[Northernraider]

Just had no 2 hash seller back ....I said I STILL don't smoke...he laughed and asked for whiskey ....then beer .

I said I don't drink or smoke off he went disgruntled.

It's funny how they want money from us for everything BUT they want everything from us for free

Next one that asks me for beer or la mange, I'm saying 20dh

Absolutely.

I doubt it ....they want it for free.

And anything they claim to give you for free there will be a charge before they leave.

I'll be out of here in a few days , IF I find someone to do my curtains in tetouan It will depend how long that takes ...but if not I think I'll be leaving around the 20th 21st as not much after tetouan... it'll cut my time shorter in Spain but hey ho.

You could always curse them. Doesn't matter what you say as long as the intent is there.

 

[Northernraider]

I'd hate the hard sell.

My friend travelling in that area

"You want girl? I have beautiful daughter."

"No"

"Ah, you prefer boy?"

"NO!!"

"You like goat?"

"No no no no no"

"Strange people you British"

I have to say I've not had that one .....any idea how many dirhams lol

Could be a very fun night

We had hassle in the UK with kids trying to sell flowers obviously taken from the crematorium/graveyard. When I said "no" and let them know what I thought they said they would curse me.

I smiled and after they were done said in the thickest accent I could muster "Go thee forth from this abode and approach not again until thou has tret thy anus with an ice cold bidet" I told them it was a counter curse and they ran leaving the flowers

I did tell someone the other day " I hope Allah pisses on your sandals " but it was spur of the moment

 

[pagey]

[Northernraider]

I've not tried it

Because I am wary of having the van attacked after dark etc.

 

[Gina M]

Yes Tam, best to just keep smiling and stay safe

You are nearly at the end of your sentence!
Funnily enough, I've just had blood taken from my dog in Portugal today for a titre test ready for Morocco or Turkey in the next year or two, I think it's looking more like Turkey

Be careful! Don’t bring religion into any argument. It never ends well.

I'd say Turkey was a far better choice .. yes its further away but you don't get the hassles you do here.

On balance, I'll avoid the place. And if I were ever to end up there I would definitely be in camping areas with guards or on actual campsites. Wouldn't one avoid almost all the harassment by doing this?

 

[Barchetta47]

Beautiful pictures!

I bet the guy that sells blue paint is minted

They only sell blue or white paint. I saw this pair painting yesterday….

Not necessarily. Campsites maybe but the guardian parking is a captive audience and gives them a lot more targets in a concentrated area .

And unless you're going to sit on the campsite all day everyday then as soon as you venture out or near a town you'll get the hard sell and beggers.

A lot of the guards are not official guards many are just the local chancers looking to make lazy money. The official ones I don't mind so much especially if they are actually guarding the place 24 hours like the one in fez ....but everywhere else the guard couldn't guard his sandwiches.

I've only been on 3 Campsites in Morocco....they were just an enclosed carpark really. There are obviously better Campsites more like holiday parks if that's your thing but they're my idea of hell .. as far as a holiday is concerned.

But everytime someone has commented on here saying they never got hassled in Morocco I've asked the question if they've been using Campsites or not because there's no way to avoid it otherwise.

that’s a tough call for me

a roast leg of lamb is lovely but goat curry with a nice jamaican beer or two is delicious

I am weird in that I will not eat meat if I know where it has come from take for instance our local pig farmer, I could not eat his pigs after I had looked them in the eye when passing on my dog walks.
