 ketama morocco by johnsakura
i had someone trying to take me ove the road with a car. trying to crash their car against mine! can you believe this? in ketama itself when i arrived i had dozens of people surrounding my car asking (not polite people) if i wanted haxixe but very angry people, they even told me, *** your mother!!
so my opinion is that this shouldnt be a place to go if you're not used to morocco. even moroccan people say they dont go there because is dangerous...

 Hungry Denver shoe awaiting by JLBG
Thanks to all Vters that answered to my question on the various names of the wheel clamp following the country : Kiwi, ATLC, allikat, seabiscuit, bradbrown, kinga freespirit, iver, RobDavis, DonnaFL, dnwitte, balfor , maxamus and Suet. A special thank to Jeff (VT Seabiscuit) who wrote the following note on the history of the wheel clamp.
The Denver Boot was invented in 1953 by a gentleman by the name of Frank Marugg. Besides being an inventor, he was a musician with the Denver Symphony Orchestra, and a pattern maker. He was a friend to many politicians and police department officials in Denver.
The Denver Sheriff's Department came to him to ask for help with their parking enforcement problem. Frank and the Sheriff decided to build a device to immobilize vehicles whose owners didn’t pay their outstanding parking tickets. He invented and patented the Denver Boot.
Frank was quite a guy, he could build almost anything, he even made his own violin, which he played for the Denver Symphony. The Denver Boot was only one of his brilliant inventions. (Ed. Note: And one of his worst).

 Nobody on the beach ! by JLBGLeave a Comment

I spent half a year in Fez, Morocco, where I lived and studied Arabic at an institute. I had a really great time there, and fell in love with the country. I would go back there any time, even for longer, but nevertheless there are a few things that girls might want to know.
The hassling in Morocco by men is quite considerable. Don't think you'll get around it or just brush it off. Even some Muslim girls from England that I knew, and that even wore Hijab, got hassled (although not as much). They are able to easily pick you out as a foreign girl and think they can say things to you that you would rather not hear, at least not all the time.
I dressed modestly in Morocco, long pants, long sleeves, nothing provoking really, and I guess without this care the hassling might have been even worse. But of course I have fair skin and red hair and was bothered every day. The walk from my apartment to the school took about 20 minutes. Once I counted how many times a man said something to me - 26 times!
There are days when you can take it well and ignore it, and other when it makes you really angry and helpless. I don't think it is hardly ever dangerous, only once or twice did someone attempt to touch me, but it really really gets on your nerves. They usually call "sexy girl" and other things after you, and it really is the tone of voice that angers you.
I believe in cultural tolerance and all, but do believe that this kind of behavious is still simply bad behaviour. There is no reason to do this. See my advice in the next tip! Leave a Comment

If you do want guide make sure you pick an official one; they will be carrying a badge. Though as they make money on shop commissions you may be taken to more shops than monuments. Also make sure you negotiate the price before accepting and give them a clear idea of the types of things you want to see. Leave a Comment

 morocco by johnsakura
arrived Fes with some friends, we were heading South and decided to show them the beautiful Old Medina. I already knew the city and for me it shouldn't be a problem to find my way into the big labirinth of the old medina, so I just needed a place to park the car. That's what I actually did I parked the car when quickly came a guy asking me for money to guard the car. Of course I was interested in someone guarding my car so I said yes, and the guy quickly said and give me money to guide you cos you'll get lost, and I said no problem cos I know some places. The guy said no and that I should pay him or something would happend to my car!!!!???? what tha hell... I said what? My firned what tha hell are you saying We started discussing loudly and cos I speak a bit of arabic many people were listening. At the end he just spited in to my feet and on top of my car calling me names and saying that if i left my car over there something would happen to it. Can you imagine? And I did wanted to give him money. Leave a Comment

When you stop on the road side, there will often be children that will rush towards you after a few minutes. Some years ago, they always asked for money (''dirham'' or ''fluz'') or pens (''stylo'') and could be a real nuisance if you want to take photos of the countryside. Now, owing that the average income has increased, that happens seldom, only in remote and poor places. Avoid giving them money for nothing. If you want to give them pens that you have brought with you or candies, check that you have one for each of them. Otherwise, there might be some fighting. Leave a Comment
