Getting hit up for money is genuine Africa. Not sure it gets more genuine.
quote:You can find them in a Medina. But you usually have to be around longer than a day or two, speak one of their languages, and not show up in a Chrysler. Until then, it is a usual hustle to try to get seemingly inexperienced tourists to follow people down a rabbit hole and then ask them for money. This idiot will never even figure out Morocco (which is an easy egg to crack, so to speak) and will get robbed and murdered by the first AQIM bandit he encounters. It's really just a matter of time.
Morocco is full of genuinely friendly and nice people that they aren't just after your money. You just aren't going to find them walking around a medina. It would be like walking onto a car lot then being appalled someone tried to sell you a car

Am I an a*****e for hoping someone robs this condescending idiot? Why should local Morroccans give a damn about making a "connection" with some naive westerner who is only doing this to fulfil some self serving desire to appear "worldly" to a bunch of other westerners on social media.

Like I said before, I could spend a long time in the Atlas Mountains. They fascinate me greatly.

I thought I remembered you being a brah. That's why I wasn't too critical in my response because I fully realized that I could have misunderstood.
