You’re damn right life is nice if you’re rich

I've been there. Walking out after dark isn't advised if you're a tourist. If you're female, showing too much skin will get you spit on.

So you’re rich then?

I visited Morocco in 2011. Beautiful country, but I got really fed up of being constantly hassled by street peddlers and getting ripped off

Funny, I don’t see the mass culling of stray dogs in this post or terrible homophobia

Travel advice if you're female, be careful. Relative asked for directions to something, got directed to blind alley ambush and gang raped.

General travel advice: don't get raped by other humans, usualy not a good thing. Dolphins on the other hand...

Not disagreeing per say, but you can find beauty in every country, especially in the places with wealth.

Every time I see an advertisement for a country I google " homosexuality" because that says a lot about how awesome it is.

8 years ago | Likes 44 Dislikes 7

Me too. I’m gay, and while I would love to visit these places, it’s unfortunate that I should have to worry about being thrown in prison.

8 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

Unfortunately, you are fine as a tourist/foreigner. Being gay in Morocco works if you are rich or a foreigner

Don't want to bash on the whole country (and I'm sure there are a lot of these nice places) but I've been there for work...nuff said

...how is that "nuff said"? That tells us very little.

He says: "Dont want to bash" .."but" , so I would say his work experience has lent him to realize it might not be so great.

This is sort of the opposite of when people show pictures of some ghetto in America and say that's what the US looks like.

8 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

Or when people go to a city and the only place they've been is the Greyhound station so naturally they think that city is a shithole.

I'm sorry, let me elaborate. I'm a service engineer for certain equipment at industrial sites, so the areas I go to for work are not (1/2)

Nice place, but what is wrong with it?

It’s a developing country; kids begging, hospitals, gay rights. The good things: we are genuine, working towards progress, it’s pretty as F
