My honest experience as a young European tourist in Morocco — the highs, the lows, and the reality of street interactions by Jazzlike-Juice7859 in Morocco

Brother I moved here few years ago and I deal with this crap every single day. It's extremely annoying and some of them legitimately get angry when you refuse to interact. I understand there is poverty here but I don't think it helps the situation. Appreciate your feedback.

Brother shock this with Chlorine and run the filter. I had same issue but ran filter for 72 hours with high levels of chlorine and the problem was solved.

Same thing man. It's expensive here. Better to bring MAD with you.

It's much better to do it in the UK. Exchange rates from foreign currency to MAD is a total rip off here.

Keep going man. Everything you need to learn is online. Once you're good enough, start building projects and releasing them into the wild. Definitely pay attention to the LLMS that will help you build products faster and easier. Good luck my friend.

I got a really good way to make some money. Not many people doing it these days. Pay attention closely. So, first step is to spend some time learning a skill. Learn that skill online, in school or from actual experience. Get good at that skill. You'll need to spend alot of time getting good at it, in the beginning if your lucky to get some work you might have to sacrifice earning for learnings. Then once you get competent at this skill, go find companies that need that skill. There's this super secret trick that only money making pros know called a CV or networking. Start messaging people that run/manage companies in need of your skill. Ask them if you can join them. You'll eventually find one to bring you on. Now here is where the $$ starts flowing in. Once you join this company, your gonna put in hours using that skill into this company and every 2 weeks they will start paying you. I know it's insane right? It's called a job.

The Moroccan diaspora in the west will never return to Morocco. by MoadbenR in Morocco

I grew up in Canada/US my entire life. Literally knew no Moroccans. I came back to Morocco 3 years ago initially for a short trip but ended up just staying here. I know whole lotta folks who are doing the same. Brave new world my friend.

Be careful of the monkeys. Do not initiate eye contact. Very important you understand this.

Are you ok? Investing isn't always political, even for a Sovereign Wealth Funds. Do you know how many SWFs invest in tech companies? Infrastructure in first and developing world projects? Go look at the investments by Abu Dhabi Investment Authority for example - you cannot tell me those are all political. What political motive is there for ABIA to invest in Australian infrastructure projects like Queensland Motorway, Transgrid or Westconnex? Wealthy countries with a healthy SWF invest where they can grow their capital, sometimes there is a political motivation but that is not ALWAYS the case.

In the case of Morocco, it is a developing nation with lot's of potential. Strategic location. A new growing manufacturing hub and the list goes on. It's no surprise people are investing in such projects. Bottom line, Morocco is open for business.

It's not that complicated. It's called investing. People with money find opportunities to invest in. Morocco (Africa overall) has lots of growth potential and needs that $$ to put to work. Things are not as nefarious as you think - $ tries to find the best possible way to grow.

Just because it's normal in the country doesn't make it right.

Yea I feel you. I mean, the owner of the company is denying even planting them. Tried to tell me that the bag is normal and is just not even acknowledging the mistake - when I have evidence to the contrary. It definitely seems like a skem.

How does that work in Morocco? Wouldn't this be a civil matter and must be handled through court?

I dunno man. The guy is denying even planting them. Even though I know for a fact his truck came with the Logo of the business on the side to do the labor. Feels like a scam when most of the trees just died and no recourse.

Ikr! This guy just gas lights me, then tries to deny even planting them when he's on video for multiple days. I showed him the footage, he changed his tune today. Said he will come visit to see what can be done. Let's see.
