Casablanca - Post Report Question and Answers

If you move here, you can leave behind your:

Expectation that things will work normally. - Sep 2022


Expectation that yes means yes. Always confirm your understanding, and theirs. - Jun 2021


Sense of western logic/fairness, winter clothes. - Jul 2014


Ideas about Casablanca's 'exotic' nature and first world status -- it's a huge, filthy, congested city with no real cultural activities to speak of and is firmly a developing country. - May 2014


Ideas that Morocco is a first-world nation. For the majority of Moroccans it is a third-world nation and there is evidence of that everywhere. Enough first-world influence sneaks through to fool people there to visit, but if you come to live, you will see behind the facade. - Jun 2012


ideas that Morocco is the Paris of North Africa. It's a big dirty city and has all the challenges that come with living in a big dirty city. But the people are great, the weather is fantastic, and the food is lovely. - Apr 2010


Skimpy clothes unless you enjoy constant harassment. - Mar 2008
