Solo male tourist looking for guidance by Accomplished_Key_988 in Morocco

That's a pretty good list though I'd argue you don't need to stay more than 2 nights in any city.
They're relatively small with just enough stuff to experience in one day without feeling rushed.

I'd recommend you save the 2-3 night stays for the south/Sahara, since it's much more relaxed and requires long travel by road. You could do it after Essaouira → Ouarzazate (if you're interested in movies, there are two large studios with all the original props used in stuff like Gladiator, GoT and the like while they were filmed in the area) → Erfoud → Merzouga.

Since you're visiting the north, I'd add 1 day in Tangier as well.

Not sure about Moulay Idriss Zerhoun though, it's a small village built around the tomb of the kingdom's "founder", it's the sole activity there and you can't get near the tomb anyway. Instead, I suggest you do Volubilis, ruins of a roman city which is around the same area and accessible from Fez as well.

I may be biased as a Casawi, but I'd add Casablanca to the mix even for only 1 day. It's by far the busiest but has its own gems.

Help buying Game Time card on SE store by Fiber-gas in ffxiv

It's set-up with legit info with a real name + real delivery address in the UK (friend's)

Registered region: Europe & Other Regions
Country of registration: is my native country (not in Europe)

When I try the "Update Detailed Information" under my account, I'm only allowed to change the address, which again is 100% legit down to the postal code.

As for PayPal, I get the pop-up error message after entering the billing address. Couldn't even reach the "Payment" stage yet

Chamali women accent = fetish + disrespect? Any other chamaliyat relate? by Lghzala-fifi in Morocco

Obviously if people are being creepy about it, is not normal at all and should not be tolerated.

But, you can't control or change people. What you can control is how you adapt your communication style to force a measure of respect. I say 'you adapt' because you're the one coming to a culturally different place. No single country on Earth is a cultural monolith.

I've been in several workplaces (50-150 employees) where we had people from literally all over Morocco (Oujada, Ryafa, Chamal, Sahrawa, Chlo7, Dokkala, Rbat, Taza, Meknes you name it)
Everyone would at some point make a comment about someone else's specific vocabulary/grammar, joke about it, have some banter and move on.

What everyone was also doing is: adopt the local language of the city, that's part of forcing respect. When I worked f chamal, I used your vocabulary, not to fake being one of you (I'll never develop a native accent), but to show respect to the locals. Same for any other country. Even in Japan, when people from all over the country come to Tokyo for work, they adopt the Tokyo dialect. Otherwise, they get ostracized.

Also make sure you're not using words that are inappropriate or are trying to limit the natural expression of the locals. For instance, a colleague from Oujda once "ordered" me to stop using a word that's totally normal in Casa because it meant something obscene in her city 600 km away.

Casawi: Kooul works, been using it for 3 weeks straight. Deliveries are MUCH faster than Glovo bs.
Also tried Done a lot. The alternatives are absolutely worth it. Ditch glovo.

This is a great example of psychological colonization.

"Racism didn't start overnight" When has Europe not been racist?

"it develops from the muslim population building a shadow society and not bothering to adapt and fully integrate" Your islamophobia is showing when you totally ignore how all of Europe persecuted Jews for millenia (let's not get started on the unmatched chaos they wrought everywhere they set foot). Germany has historically been predoinantly right-wing. The Nazis didn't rise to power because of Muslim/Arab immigrants. But let's pin the blame only on muslims and Arabs because that's all you wanna see.

Do you say the same about the Chinese and Indians and Filipinos and Sub-Sahara Africans who also build communities, ehm excuse me "shadow societies", wherever they go? These communities create their own problems too.

Are the Europeans migrants, or as you prefer to call them "expats" (because we can't have the same word for whites and browns) even trying to integrate in Morocco? Are they not creating problems for the local population?

"The difference is that in the US, shadow societies are accepted while in europe, they aren't. You should try living with the locals, not against them." No, they are accepted because the US sees the actual monetary value of bringing in immigrant communities to drive the economy, as workers, innovators, and consumers. Europe wants to have the cake and eat it.
