    I am going to meet attractive lady that is from Morocco on July 3rd. She teaches the language of French for living. I do not know anything about Morocco culture or anything like that. I would like to know about their culture, etc... Thanks!

    Well, I travelled once to Tunisia, and on forums I read Morocco has a similar culture. Tunisia is a muslim country, but quite liberal (as muslims go), so I expect Morocco is the same too. Women are generally treated with respect, booze is not allowed for locals, but they sell it for tourists, so at least they're not judgemental. Overall I'd say they're about as strict as a regular JW congregation . They're quite poor as a country - the CIA World Factbook says GDP per capita is $4,600 - as a comparison USA has $46,400, so an average worker makes 10 times as much in US.

    What is worth mentioning is that I found them quite informal, you could just walk in a shop, strike a conversation with the owner, and ten minutes later you're the bestest friends. This feature makes them an excellent salesmen, they could literally sell ice to the eskimos, and trust me, they will most certainly try. This experience might be just me though being eastern european; I find US people quite informal too - but not really that much.

    Well, seeing how my place, Rick's Cafe Americana, is in Casablanca, I should be an expert, but alas, I have not been back since the war. But if you see Ilsa, tell her we'll always have Paris...

    I know that, minimus, but I would like to hear what others have experienced beforehand.

    This might not be the best place to find out about Morocco. But what do I know?
