@hn241: Not a good idea to put your business idea / plan out in the open like that. Don't be surprised if when you are ready to execute you find there are many competitors in Agadir. Take your idea offline, take a trip to Morocco if serious and ... Read More

Hi all, is it normal for Moroccan men to go every day to cafe? Mi sisters fiancé goes on a daily basis and she is a little bit worried about that. Maybe is it a cultural thing or is not normal at all?
@martinjstone: Yes, it's normal for Moroccans but for a western / European woman it will become a nightmare. Western / European women are more clingy to their partners with respect to conversations, going shopping, doing things together and other ... Read More
