I'm usually in my beloved Nimman top floor condo in Chiang Mai, but I'm currently deep in the Sahara in Morocco.

 

As long as I'm here in this moribund thread, a travel report:

 

Morocco is not at all hassle-central as advertised. Deep muslim-style hospitality and even the (occasional) refusal of a tip, The food is very mono and spice free, but broadly meditaranian. It would help to like mint tea. They've seen enough whities to offer a sugar-free option.

 

The wifi is a bit spotty after the camel ride (we took a 4X4), but the local Gnawi musicians could (and do) grace any concert stage in the world. Price-wise, call it a third off Spain. Maybe better done on a tour due to the daunting travel logistics of going into the desert. 

 

No sex on offer in Islam-land. Trick here and suffer an honor-killing fate.

 

The joke, "You alway here about Is-lam, but you never hear about 'Er-lamb" went down a storm with the locals.

All the Moroccan recipes I've seen call for heaps of spices so why do you say it is spice free?

Def. I made a ton of Tajines during covid and ordered up variations of Ras En Hanoute and other spice blends from Amazon. On the ground here, nowhere to be seen. It's not really a restaurant culture. Everyone eats their bland food at home. 

 

They're even light on salt. Sometimes a light dusting of cinnimon on a orange slice. That's it. The famous harissa chili paste has been spotted once. I see lots of cheap saffron in the market, but have yet to encounter it at dinner.

 

Couscous is always on the soggy side. Veg is cooked to death. Meat is tough. It's like a North African version of your high school cafeteria.

 

Lovely bread, fantastic olives, giant, tasty oranges. I've been eating spaghetti bolognaise whenever I see it on the menu (about every other day).

 

Additional fun fact: The famous Tajine pot adds exactly nothing to the cooking process. A dutch oven works the same. Google will verify.

That's no good. Any idea why that might be the case? One of those countries where all the good stuff gets sold off to the highest bidder and the genpop get the dregs?

More like Chinese food tastes better in New York to a tourist palate than in China.

 

Real Moroccan food - you wouldn't love it.

Not many, and even less are active posters, for obviously reasons.  

 

I avoid most threads now, even ones I have an interest in, and developed a 'why bother' attitude.  I see now the 'worst joke' thread is now being censored.  

 

As if the trolls and having discussions with children or the most ignorant adults isn't enough of a turn off.

I can only talk for myself. But I am here, 

Of course you idiot, you are there where else could you be! Where is here?

Alright, alight. Here is Thailand! you happy now,

I tell you these voices in my head sure are annoying, I sure hope they would stop arguing with me.

But I digress. 

So I am here in Thailand, but I don't sleep well. I get up in  the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep for an hour or so. 

Also I do know someone has to keep you all Thai expat wannabes and those trapped away from LOS 

honest and keep an eye on you. So I perform a public service. 

You would think you would be appreciative  but by some of the replies and emojis I get, you would be wrong.  

I am sure glad the extended finger emoji is not available , cause if it was I might be tempted to abandon my civic duty and leave you all to your own miserable devices. 

So yes!! a few Thank You"  emojis would surely be appreciated.

A-Dolf trolling again ignore him.

Why not? Who cares? Sleeping at normal hours is not for everyone. Some of us are off pattern sleepers, or insomniacs. What else are we going to do at 2am?

Why would you think or assume that? Because your time is 2 am????

Would be better with a poll, if you wish to see some level of result of how many forum members that are actually staying in Thailand.

 

And by the way, I'm staying here full time...
