Mad:

You are right, mad: bergag have a stronger sense that mebli doesn’t have. Belwa it have to be only “curiosity”… (I forget to check the dictionary…)

About my neighbours and friends, I could tell you a lot of things related to “bergaga”, but they aren’t funny at all.

I have a neighbour that’s an old lady who lives in face my door that she has always an eye over the little hole of the door spiying on my house and outdoors. You know in Morocco we usually live more outdoors than indoors, so…

It happens that the man who teaches me arabic (the guardian of the building) usually sits between the two doors, so when I exit to drink a coffee, smoke some pipes and chat a little bit with him, we are always being watched. She has a dog always by her side, so we know she is behind the door because the animal makes noises. Once I did put a little bit of pepper in the ground, by her door. The poor animal began to snoooooorllllllllllllllllll aaaaaaaachiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssss, atchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssss… and she’s gone mad about it.

But this woman she is crazy a little bit. Yesterday night, when I arrived home, the guardian was praying. He uses to do it between the two doors. While he was over his knees, the woman used the spray to kill cockroaches behind the door, all over the ground. I smelled it and cought from 3 or 4 meters away, so imagine the poor man who was praying… He was really angry.

Then, she tells to everybody strange things about me (or some other neighbour, it doesn’t matter who or why). The best ones: that I was a porn producer, and made porn films at home; that I used to poison the meals that I offer to my friends…

In Morocco I found that people (not everybody, of course, but a far more than in Spain or wherever I lived) uses to ask you how much you win, how much you are paying for your appartement, what’s your religion, if you are practising it or no, if you believe in god… That only happens in Spain if you are really close to someone!

And sometimes I found people in streets that they aproach to me to say hellow. It happens that they know everything about me, even if I never meet them! And they shows to you that they know it… I don’t know why, yet. Maybe they feel happy to meet somebody from spain, I don’t know. I’m not a cinema star, so… First year I lived in Morocco I became completly paranoic because of that.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllll ouazzani welcome to morocco hhhhh
first , u chose to live in a popular neighbourhood … and those things for them r really normal
2nd that looks so bad but sometimes is good , a friend of mine traveled with all his family in summer except their grandma , she was sick , so after 2 days a strong bergaga noticed that there is nobody movin in the house and she knows that the grandma is inside , she went with many ppl from the neighboor and they call at d door … nothin :s
they get in by force they found d poor grandma dead :frowning: , so the whole neighbourhood prepared the funerail waitin for d family to come back …
this is one of the good sides of tberguig in morocco :stuck_out_tongue:

:cry: Sad story…

But you are right. I understand it, and I accepted it. Just I try to keep my intimacy. And lately I have been thinking in make some steps in porn business… I only need some stars and a camera!

The black point are those sitting in the qahwa every day at any time that you know are just waiting for the some information just to run to the secret police… There is a lot of “chivatos” in moroccan society.

duuuude this is why morocco is so peaceful lol
even " Qaida " had problems in morocco :smiley: u cant do anythin if ‘‘lmekhzen’’ no esta de acuerdo :stuck_out_tongue:
okey i cant deny this is bad sometimes but u cant deny too that its good :slight_smile:

ps- hey if u need actors here i am :stuck_out_tongue: but pay attention im hetero 100 % :cool:

hahaha mskeeeen, thanks for zi story… interesting… but you know, it’s the same thing with my people, very curious to know what’s going on in the neighborhood… that’s what helps them sleep at night, sadly

Yeah, you are right, LA. In my original country it’s the same in little villages. Now they are changing the “behind-the-door” activity by the TV shows. Mad could tell you something about spanish television (i am fortunatelly out of this s***)

And Mad: You are right. It seems to be quiet now with the barbudos. I will count on you if there is some action to do. Diman nichan, matqlaqchi. :okay:

looooooooooooooooooooooooooolll duuude spanish programs are 100% tberguig waaaaaw a sa7bi
apart from Lasexta with the football i dont watch Tv at all … everytime i try to i find them talkin about the B**** Belen Esteban , duuuuude i hate her loooollll

Nice choice. I only downlad some tv series and films. No tv at all. If I need I’m going to watch lkora to the cofee. No risk to find there all the Big Brother freaks.

yeah and i forgot the GH :s and la duquesa de alba with her BF pffffffffffffff

Don’t dare to make fun about it: That’s love, man, that’s the true blind love!!! :mdr:

yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah blind love hhhhhhhhhhhh

What’s funny is we’ve converted this thread into “Stories and Experiences of Morocco” haha… keep them coming!! :slight_smile:

loolll lalla so wahts about ur experience :stuck_out_tongue:

hooooo too many to tell lol… actually my experiences aren’t associated with Morocco, but with Moroccans. There are the good, the bad, and the VERY bad xD But I understand that the retarded Moroccans I met and will continue to meet do NOT represent Morocco at all o safi.
