But I'll tell you what - it sure as hell beats a day shopping in Croydon ... Yes, sometimes you simply have to learn to experience a place, before you can really start to enjoy it.

It probably helps to view places like that as a travel experience rather than a holiday - fewer expectations. Also, that I was pretty well covered up, learnt enough arabic to say "no thankyou, not today", and I hung out with some young professional, educated Moroccans. I met a family who insisted I stay with them but it took a slightly awkward turn when they couldn't understand why I didn't want to marry their brother to get him into the UK.... It's a massive culture shock and I think that is more apparent in a short and/or first trip. I do dream of going back one day - it's a completely different world.
