[MOROCCAN_FROM_LONDON]

has anyone been to tangier recently, i never went last summer and wanted to know if anythings changed? and are they building that new stadium?

i hear the go karting place has opened up anyone been?

I went last feb, and coming back on the ferry I saw several youths get busted by the police for hiding under lorries that were about to board the ferry.. poor kids got a proper beating, kicks and punches

Apart form that, the place was nice as always.. oh I noticed that the newly built train station, which looked cool...

last time i went was by car in the summer of 2004 with my bro, i saw bare kids get an a$$ kicking. one haraga asked us to help him get through customs but we was driving a bmw m3 convertible so police would check us 1st and they did.

spanish police checked are car out proper even the convertable compartment where the roof folds into.

Those poor kids are always getting beat up

I was withdrawing some cash from a machine near the beach & 2 kids came up to me & my sis and said "Hedou 3and houm flouss deyal makina" One tried to get my bag & I slapped him then they ran away... saw them again a few mins later and gave them my unopened coke & they disappeared again. Tourists must be afraid when the kids surround them, its such a shame, their parents should be taking better care of them.

Iceman- how do you get on in Morocco I wonder, being a fair haired Icelandic male?

i know what you mean about those kids they stand out side the pizza place in boulvard making you feel bad for buying pizza.

but when you buy them some they have the cheek to try and take your bag one of them tried to steal my sister's bag i chased him slappe him up and gave him 5 d's lol

I know exactly what you mean, you have to defend yourself & your possessions but then you feel bad for them because they are victims too, no food, ripped up clothes & some are orphans and are used to getting beat up, I hate to see them getting beaten up.

I`ll tell you a story...

While I was Agdal last feb, I thought let me go to the supermarket and buy a drink it was a bit warm and I felt thirsty

As I came out I was surrounded by a group of ladies 30-50 yrs and 2 young girls probably 10 or so.. I gave the two kids about DH30 and walked on up towards the high street....

I then get the group of old ladies chase after me all the way up the street must have been a good 3/4 of a km I was walking and they were running.. so I continue at my pace and next thing they are right next to me... I say "ma ainde floos... yallah..seer!" and walked on and as I looked back I swear the number of women had doubled, more and more had joined the group... I just called a taxi and jumped in...

The thing is if you give 1 person a few dirhams, theya ll will be after you...I did feel bad though...
