I Didn’t Expect Her to Admit This on My Last Day in Morocco!

[00:00:00]My husband, he has an order wife. Then he have a lot of free time. I'm going to shape, not help him.

[00:00:10]>> Hello guys, my time in Tanger is coming to an end. It's time to go back to Casablanca and from there we will end this amazing journey in Morocco. So at this time I can say I've seen Marrakesh, Casablanca and Tenier and I love all these cities man. I I can't tell you which one is the best. There's no best because they're all so different in various ways and they all provide a different flavor that the next city doesn't. In Marrakesh you have that desert vibe, you know that exotic feel.

[00:00:43]You you know you're Morocco when you get to Marrakesh man. And recently, Morocco has passed Egypt as the number one destination in Africa for tourism. That is a big deal. You know, Morocco is booming. Morocco has everything you want. You know, you're in Africa, but you have none of the issues that a lot of subsaharan African countries unfortunately still struggle with.

[00:01:06]Morocco is a step ahead. So, let's go.

[00:01:12]Here is the final leg of this journey.

[00:01:16]Let's see what we can get into.

[00:01:19]>> Sorry, I'm getting out of space.

[00:01:23]>> It's okay. I'm going to put this in here and then I take the back seat with everything else.

[00:01:30]She took control of the city. She bought everything possible here. No space for me.

[00:01:38]Vamos spoke in her own name [music] untouched by fear or shame [music] between what she carried what [music] she was told and a story inside. She couldn't hold the door I didn't open.

[00:02:01][music] Still calls my name. Not like regret but a quiet flame. [music] >> [music] >> All right, we are back. We are back in this center here. Oh, wow.

[00:02:20]>> Oh, man. I forgot this. This is mine.

[00:02:23]>> Wow.

[00:02:24][laughter] >> Man, I was walking away already. Like everything is good. Thank you.

[00:02:30]>> There's more, right?

[00:02:32]>> Wow. Look at that.

[00:02:34]>> Um, >> I got it. I got it. You got it.

[00:02:37]All right. Shukran.

[00:02:40]Wow.

[00:02:42]She's like, "It's your bottles, man. SHE TALKING ABOUT YOUR BOTTLES. I DON'T WANT I DON'T want to be in trouble."

[00:02:49]>> Yeah. No, they're not going to do anything, man. It's all good. So, very windy here. Very, very windy. We don't have tickets, but you don't have to buy tickets in advance. You can literally buy it.

[00:02:59]>> Yeah.

[00:03:00]>> As you travel.

[00:03:01]>> Yeah.

[00:03:02]>> Somewhere can and buy them online, I guess.

[00:03:04]>> Yeah. You can buy them online. You can, but you don't need to. You can just come and just pick it up here.

[00:03:10]>> I'm facing the wind.

[00:03:12]>> Yeah, it's with great sadness that I leave the beautiful city of Tier.

[00:03:22]>> With great sadness. I wish I was staying longer, man. It went way too fast, you know.

[00:03:29]>> Wow. Someone told me that you're coming back soon.

[00:03:32]>> Very, very soon.

[00:03:33]>> Yeah.

[00:03:34]>> Yeah. The magic, the black magic that we have here in Morocco.

[00:03:37]>> Oh, man. Crazy. All right. I thought we're going to go to the station.

[00:03:42]>> Where are the station?

[00:03:44]>> Oh, no, no, no. I mean the the office.

[00:03:46]>> Ah, the office. I told you them all line. We don't be We don't need to be in the line.

[00:03:50]>> Yeah.

[00:03:51]>> Yeah.

[00:03:52]>> All right. Sounds good.

[00:03:54]>> The question is, are we going first or second class?

[00:03:57]>> First class, man.

[00:03:58]>> All right.

[00:03:59]>> You already know how we do around here.

[00:04:01]You know what kind of question is that?

[00:04:03]All right.

[00:04:04]>> All right.

[00:04:06]Not bragging, guys. The price is not that different. [laughter] It's not that different. And really, like the seats are bigger, but it's nice. So, that's one section of the the train station. I haven't shown you guys that. So, they have a fullcourt section here with McDonald's and a bunch of other things here. We're going to just find a place where we can drop our bags.

[00:04:22]It looks like a lot of things that busy, but there is a table here that's available. I would have preferred like the booth, but none of them are none of them are available. Of course, that's where people want to sit first. right now. Immediately.

[00:04:34]>> Yes. So, before I go get something to eat, I want us to secure those tickets first. Now, I know some trains are faster than others. Is it the same here or is it the same exact train?

[00:04:45]>> Yeah, we have normal train then we have the speed train.

[00:04:48]>> We're taking the the speed one.

[00:04:49]>> Yeah.

[00:04:49]>> And the speed one is always every hour like that.

[00:04:51]>> Yeah. Every hour. It takes 2 hours same to go between Kazablanga and Dera.

[00:04:56]>> Okay. And uh for example, if you're doing the auto train, it takes uh 6 hours.

[00:05:02]>> Okay, sounds good.

[00:05:03]>> All right. Yeah, we definitely don't want to do the slow one. No way. So, I let you do that and then uh I have to pick up something to eat. Everybody's running to the train station at this time. Trains here run on time. So, if you're late, you miss your train.

[00:05:20]>> Yes.

[00:05:21]>> What is the channel of the >> Adventures? Adventures.

[00:05:25]>> Adventures.

[00:05:27]>> [laughter] >> I don't have time to stop and give it to him. I have a train to catch 2:00. So this is Africa fastest train. Yo, look at this. Stay. Don't leave us, guys. So the name that you want to tap on Google Maps is Kasa Voyager.

[00:05:47]>> This is Tanger.

[00:05:50]>> Yeah. City train station.

[00:05:53]>> Yeah. And the one we going through in Kazabank.

[00:05:57]>> All right. We're looking for a section and then we in carrying heavy bags.

[00:06:03]>> I feel like >> just get on the train and then we can find our places.

[00:06:06]>> A place to sit. Yeah. No. Which one are we looking for?

[00:06:10]>> Just get in the train. We're going to first is there.

[00:06:14]>> Okay.

[00:06:15]>> But that's going to be harder to walk in the train.

[00:06:19]But okay.

[00:06:22]Yeah, this is harder to do.

[00:06:25][laughter] >> Where am I?

[00:06:41]>> Crossing the station. All these bags was we almost missed the train. So, we had to enter it and then just navigate different station. I mean, different wagons. So we don't miss it.

[00:06:58]>> All right.

[00:07:05]>> Wait, let me see where we are.

[00:07:08]>> Okay.

[00:07:15]>> Yeah, you have to actually probably come here 15 20 minutes prior.

[00:07:19]first 93.

[00:07:22]>> 93.

[00:07:23]>> Yep.

[00:07:23]>> Okay, we almost there.

[00:07:27]>> And then they have this room over here.

[00:07:28]I think this kind of operator room.

[00:07:30]>> Yeah.

[00:07:36]So, we did make it to the train finally after walking around for maybe three different wagons because she said if you walk by the train it's too easy. So, she wants to make it as difficult.

[00:07:51]>> Yes.

[00:07:52]>> As she can.

[00:07:52]>> No, because I was u making it in a safe >> Yeah.

[00:07:57]>> safe place. So, maybe if we stay outside and then we're going to lose the train.

[00:08:04]So carrying bags and candy and >> you're carrying more bags than you. Shut up.

[00:08:10]>> Not true.

[00:08:11]>> Like stop.

[00:08:12]>> And then I have a backpack. I have a suitcase. I have to walk in the middle of people and stuff, man.

[00:08:19]>> You know, but the most important thing, at least this time, we do not miss the train, you know. At least this time.

[00:08:27]Like on the way here, that was uh a heck of a journey. Let's put it let's put it that way. But if you miss your train, all seriousness, you have about 30 minutes where you can um >> what 30 minutes you can exchange your ticket, right? Yeah. So, you can exchange your ticket within 30 minutes and uh either they refund you or you get another one. So, it's really not that bad.

[00:08:48]>> But you got to go on that [ __ ] line.

[00:08:49]>> What's that?

[00:08:50]>> But you got to go on the [ __ ] line again. [laughter] >> Yeah, you can go back on the line. Uh it's better to buy it on online really than to wait until you get to the station. What is the website? What is the website to get there?

[00:09:03]>> Uh, which is uh ncf.com.

[00:09:08]>> Okay. All right.

[00:09:10]>> CF.com.

[00:09:12]>> All right.

[00:09:14]You get your tickets there and the seats are numbered, you know.

[00:09:20]>> And some people were just chilling in here with them out of here. Bro, is this your seat? I like nah. I'm like, okay.

[00:09:29]So, [laughter] and they're like, "So, we're moving."

[00:09:32]>> Oh, man.

[00:09:33]>> That's funny. I want you to explain a little bit more about uh your family dynamic regarding uh the whole predicament situation. So, you How many mothers do you have? One or two?

[00:09:43]>> Well, I have one mother and stepmother.

[00:09:45]Let's call it in English. Well, >> you have a mother and a step. Step off your mom, right?

[00:09:50]>> I have one mother. [laughter] >> So, you don't recognize the other one?

[00:09:53]>> Uh kind of. Yeah.

[00:09:55]>> Kind of. Okay. Yeah, when you I mean maybe you guys for you whatever it's fine but uh for me my father he got married later just when I was just one year ago. So >> okay >> it's kind of hard to say yeah this is my mother because I didn't grow up with her but I only know my mom she's my mom you know.

[00:10:14]>> Okay. All right.

[00:10:14]>> So yeah.

[00:10:15]>> And would you say that both women get along?

[00:10:20]>> That's never going to happen. like uh when they're together they're not really getting along but they have to.

[00:10:28]>> Yeah, they have to >> you know for the family they have to.

[00:10:30]>> Yeah.

[00:10:31]>> But otherwise like they're both of them they're getting along >> because they want.

[00:10:36]>> Yes.

[00:10:37]>> Oh, I [clears throat] don't think so because >> uh you coming like from another parts whatever and you taking my husband how can I >> get along with you? Yeah. But then as well if the husband is controller um he has he has a place he has a weight in the family.

[00:10:55]>> Yeah.

[00:10:56]>> Then the wife she should do what the husband said. And yesterday when the wife she has children she's housewife. She doesn't have a work. She's not independent at all and she's not coming from a rich background.

[00:11:12]>> Yeah. So, of course, she doesn't want to get the divorce because going to be there are two options. Either you get along with her or you get a divorce.

[00:11:23]>> Okay.

[00:11:24]>> So, of course, you're going to stay in the same place.

[00:11:27]>> Yeah.

[00:11:27]>> Yeah.

[00:11:29]>> So, in Warasma, when you decide to get married with two women, do you do you have to have permission from the first one?

[00:11:35]>> Of course. So, first um you have to get a permission from the first wife.

[00:11:42]Uh or you have to do you got to play rap.

[00:11:47]>> Okay.

[00:11:48]>> So, uh the permission it's kind of too hard to get. So, what they do basically they go get the lady pregnant.

[00:12:00]>> Yes.

[00:12:00]>> And then you go to the courts and you say this guy is this child is my son.

[00:12:10]>> Okay. And then with your son, you're going to marry the older wife. And then the older the first wife, the first wife uh she got to give you permission because you either take the permission or you go to the jail. So that's how you do is out playing around.

[00:12:26]>> Yeah.

[00:12:27]>> Otherwise the the easiest thing is to get a permission but it's not same time is not easy because no wife should not >> of course >> want a second wife you know.

[00:12:36]>> Yes.

[00:12:37]>> So no one wants a cool co-wife. Yes.

[00:12:40]>> So, and girls your age in your 20s like you are I think more open to polygamy or >> I don't think so. Even even people right now, I mean even guys um they don't want to marry another wife. So hopefully they do want to marry one because life is getting experience expensive.

[00:12:57]>> So hopefully they're getting one wife and then thinking about the second one.

[00:13:02]So I don't think women on my age they would like have it that have um like a co-ife.

[00:13:10]>> Yeah.

[00:13:11]>> And even guys I don't think they're thinking about it you know.

[00:13:15]>> Yeah.

[00:13:15]>> People now they're changing just my dad you know is old school. Before they used to do like two or three and four like for example both my grandparents my grandparent for my mom my grandparent for my dad both of them they had like two wives but uh in the same time as I said is all about the the mindsets. So say my dad is old school mindset and as well we him and my mom they had like a lot of problems. So uh the thing is to him the only solution to do not let this family down. Let's get another wife and we keep out together.

[00:13:54]>> So I make two families instead of one.

[00:13:56]>> One to like chill and have fun. And one >> I'm kind of uh how can I say it? Um I'm related to it so I could really give up on it you know. And I we he say like he has like children my like for example my younger brother is 7 years old. So of course um he doesn't want his child to um be in between like to divorce parents.

[00:14:24]>> So yeah he's like keeping the family but in the same time doing what he wants.

[00:14:28]>> Yeah.

[00:14:28]>> Yeah. So instead for example of going and cheating and stuff he choose to to marry another one.

[00:14:35]>> Yes. So that's that's the thing.

[00:14:37]>> How do you feel?

[00:14:38]>> He [ __ ] enough. He [ __ ] enough and he's like, "Okay, enough [ __ ] I'm getting old."

[00:14:43]>> Yeah. [laughter] Do do you think that people who are in polygamy, do you think that they they cheat as much as people who maybe have only one partner, do you think it helps men be a little bit more serious?

[00:14:56]>> So first, uh, when they do polygamy, they cheat first and then they get married to one of them. when they're like done with cheating, then they get married to one of them. And um if they don't cheat, >> let's say he could cheat even if he had he has like two wives, he could cheat.

[00:15:16]>> Yeah.

[00:15:16]>> Yeah.

[00:15:17]>> Do you think that's what happens?

[00:15:18]>> Yeah. It depends on the guy again.

[00:15:21]>> So you don't think it it makes men more serious by having less.

[00:15:25]>> No, >> not at all. It depends. Like if you're a cheater, you're a cheater.

[00:15:29]>> Yeah. But sometimes you want to like just it's okay if I like Yeah, it's okay. And also in the same like uh people they looking for some like um some how can I say it again? I'm losing my English. Um some practical practicular can you say it >> particular?

[00:15:50]>> Particular some particular stuff.

[00:15:53]>> Something particular. Yeah.

[00:15:54]>> Something particular you know. Yeah. If they find that something particular with the same way, maybe they would not cheat.

[00:15:59]>> Yeah.

[00:16:00]>> So, it really depends, you know.

[00:16:02]>> Yeah.

[00:16:04]>> So, you ask me how I feel about it.

[00:16:07]>> Yes.

[00:16:08]The thing is uh it was a surprise but at the same time not too surprising because always my dad when I was like young when I just opened my eyes and I still I start to like to know how is life and stuff my daddy it was always in some points I'm going to get a second one but it was like a joke >> but everything starts with a joke >> so that's the thing it started with a joke and then corona virus us comes after coronairus he got married. Uh in the time of coronairus he used to work um in an older place which is far from the city that we live in.

[00:16:48]>> Yeah.

[00:16:48]>> So in that time he took the chance to get to know another woman. And by the way the older women she's she was a widow.

[00:16:55]>> Yeah.

[00:16:56]>> So uh she's not a virgin or something and she has kids.

[00:17:00]>> Yeah.

[00:17:01]>> She has like uh three kids and they're old by the way. Like they're like 19 and >> Yeah. The younger I guess she is uh she's around 10 years old and um yeah now actually spend most of his time with the wife.

[00:17:16]>> I see >> because like >> he feels there is more calm. So actually I guess or I feel guys or men or women in general they're looking for uh where is comfort when you're like a certain age you will look for your comfort.

[00:17:30]>> Yeah makes sense.

[00:17:31]>> Yeah. So for me it was surprising. I feel bad and I feel bad for my mom for example like um even if you say maybe I hate that man. Yeah, >> you don't really want your man with another wife. So uh that's heartbreaking.

[00:17:44]>> So yeah, I feel bad for my mom. I feel bad for uh my my siblings because now they don't have much of time with my dad and I'm kind of the dad right now because for example if they need something they ask me. My dad of course he provides and stuff but uh he doesn't give them much of time as before.

[00:18:03]>> So uh that's the thing. Um but in the same time I understand it. I do understand because um um I'm not going to say my mom she did a fault but it was there no communication and also in the same time my mom she doesn't provide a lot of things for him.

[00:18:23]So when you when this guy asks you for this and you don't provide it, >> of course you're going to look in another place.

[00:18:30]>> Yeah.

[00:18:31]>> Like what are you expecting?

[00:18:32]>> No, that's that's uh that's definitely understandable. Now you think it's possible to love more than one person at a time.

[00:18:39]>> Love one more than one person. Uh I don't think so. But uh you know we have uh something we say like uh you are getting used to that person. Yeah.

[00:18:52]You know, >> so the thing is my mom and dad they get used to each other >> and of course there is let's say they like the liking you could do that you could like multiple people but to love this is a big word.

[00:19:11]>> Yeah, >> you can already do it with like multiple people. So you have the option like >> one and that's it. Uh but to like >> you can like multiple people.

[00:19:22]>> Yeah, >> you can like but you don't think you can love more than one person?

[00:19:25]>> I don't think so.

[00:19:26]>> At the time.

[00:19:26]>> Yeah. I don't think that you could love people. And also in the same time is for example because in Islam if you want to do the polyami you should always do the equivalent like what you're doing to this one if you're going to do it the same. It has to be fair time is never fair.

[00:19:46]>> No >> it's never fair. Why is that?

[00:19:49]>> Because always the heart is only loves one.

[00:19:52]>> Yeah.

[00:19:53]>> So that's the thing. It could be never fair.

[00:19:56]>> Yeah.

[00:19:56]>> Even Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, he has multiple wives and technically it was fair but at the same time he only loves one.

[00:20:06]>> Yeah. She's >> so the thing like the heart could love only one.

[00:20:13]>> Yeah.

[00:20:14]>> That's the thing. All right.

[00:20:15]>> And um You could maybe do the fair like you want to do it technically fair but it's in the same time it's not fair.

[00:20:24]>> Yeah. But I understand that.

[00:20:25]>> Yeah. Because you still a human like uh your energy you couldn't really give the same energy to every person. You need >> many people sometimes refer to Morocco as the Middle East and um Morocco is not the Middle East.

[00:20:38]>> It's not Middle East.

[00:20:39]>> Morocco is Africa. Northern Africa.

[00:20:41]>> Yeah. It's North Africa. They have written their culture and influences but it is not the Methodist. Now you being a Muslim woman, have you observed any differences between Muslims here in Morocco and Muslims who come from the Middle East for example?

[00:20:59]Any any cultural differences that you observe or you think you guys are pretty fairly similar in the way you see life, religion and things like that?

[00:21:07]>> It depends because even in the Middle East sometimes you feel they have different level of Islam.

[00:21:14]>> Yeah.

[00:21:15]>> For for example like now life in Dubai is not the same in Saudi Arabia.

[00:21:20]>> Yes. You know >> so it's different. Morocco origally is as said is a North African country is was a Berber country before.

[00:21:30]>> So um when the Arabs they came here they brought Islam here and we had a really Middle Eastern influence. We still have our own culture but it's not I'm not going to say Middle Eastern but I'm going to say Islamic influence. Yes.

[00:21:45]>> Yeah.

[00:21:46]>> Yeah.

[00:21:46]>> Cuz uh there is there is difference between a culture of someone and religion.

[00:21:53]>> Yes. Of course.

[00:21:55]>> And the same time the culture sometimes inspired from the religion.

[00:21:59]>> Yeah. So Islam is affected Moroccan and I'm going to say uh is not uh really the same level as you see in the Middle Eastern countries.

[00:22:09]>> Yeah.

[00:22:09]>> Uh here is a bit more open um like for them in the Middle East is still like the polyam is a big thing here. Morocco is not anymore. And even um in Morocco there is a law is coming up. Um that's why most of guys don't want to marry anymore. Uh there is a law is coming up for you could already get married to another wife at least the first wife she doesn't give you a birth or she has uh sexual problems.

[00:22:38]>> Oh so okay. So the the the first wife has to be unable to give you children.

[00:22:45]>> Yeah. To get another wife.

[00:22:47]>> So you can get another wife >> or she could really have sex with you.

[00:22:52]She has like sexual problems.

[00:22:55]>> Wow. She she's like she has a eel something like that doesn't let her to have sex with you.

[00:23:00]>> So you guys are getting rid of uh polygamy.

[00:23:02]>> Yeah. Soon.

[00:23:03]>> You guys want people to go to Algeria then?

[00:23:07][laughter] >> Even Algeria now we need a visa to go there.

[00:23:11]>> So So that's a very interesting cultural shift.

[00:23:14]>> They find they're moving away from politics as you see modern woman like her.

[00:23:20]They're not really down with it. So even if the guy has um a lot of money, you're not interested in entering a polit a polygamy.

[00:23:30]>> I'm interested. [laughter] >> You interested in the polygamy?

[00:23:34]>> You said if he has a lot of money, I'm interested. [laughter] >> The whole time you've been telling me you don't you don't like polit.

[00:23:40]>> But is it the guy has a lot of money?

[00:23:41]>> Oh, so if he has money then then it's >> But at the same time then you're going to be cheating again. You're gonna be cheating because always like the guy gonna give like a lot of times you were gonna be cheating.

[00:23:52]Of course.

[00:23:54]>> Wow.

[00:23:55]>> You know, >> but not every guy cheats though.

[00:24:00]>> No, you said there if you said polygamy, right? So if the if my husband he has another wife, then he have a lot of free time.

[00:24:08]>> Yeah, but it's not cheating.

[00:24:10]>> I'm going to cheat, not him.

[00:24:12]>> You're going to cheat?

[00:24:13]>> Yeah. If you even like you feel like maybe playing hard to do not cheat, you will cheat in some points.

[00:24:23]>> What do you what are you saying?

[00:24:24]>> Yeah. If your girl she wants attention, she wants she wants someone to love her and the guys winter polygamy is never fair. Like what if he loves that girl? I mean polygamy means he love the girl the other one more than me.

[00:24:38]>> So I want to be in love too.

[00:24:40]>> My understanding of predicament is different. My understanding of predicament is that he has multiple women that he treats as equally as he can the same way.

[00:24:50]>> You can treat him the same way. Buy them the safe stuff. Uh get them the same house. But I say the feelings that never the same.

[00:24:57]>> So then you're going to go ahead and cheat.

[00:24:59]>> Of course. I mean you're going to find a lover. You're going to find a lover.

[00:25:02]You're going to you're going to like put the sugar daddy whatever the husband the sugar husband whatever to give you the money and you're going to find like another boy even if he's broke as because you have money that time you know.

[00:25:14]>> Yeah.

[00:25:14]>> Then if he's broke just be a lover.

[00:25:17]That's what happens. That's what's happening right now. There's a lot of guys now they go and cheat and they're like they're rich husbands and then you find their wife they're getting they're going for example to Ghana to have with other guys.

[00:25:27]>> Yes.

[00:25:28]>> You know like the European girls there's a lot of European ladies. cuz they're like old and then they go G to have with the little guys.

[00:25:34]>> So that's what's happening.

[00:25:36]>> So >> and this is not even pulling on me. This is like just the guy [ __ ] and she's cheating too.

[00:25:41]>> Yeah.

[00:25:43]>> That's the thing. That's why I told you in some points I don't really believe in marriage >> cuz I have that problem when people always email me I even at your age settle down. I even at your end in marriage guys >> it's um >> it's just a thing personally >> not everybody's made for marriage and I think I think that you can be happy and you're not married and you know marriage doesn't also mean happiness but I can get into what I believe in later on let's talk about you why don't you believe in in the marriage what's >> well I just told you right now I just told him maybe like cheating >> cheating >> so you don't think you can find a man who doesn't cheat >> you can find it but it's just heart >> but that's the person that's not the institution of marriage I thought you going to say something like I don't believe in marriage because I don't think it works because this these people are >> mostly it doesn't work >> they don't think it works >> mostly it doesn't work >> mostly yeah >> yeah people they change >> they change yeah >> the thing is you should understand that this person is going to change with time which is hard to understand >> yes >> in both sides >> yes >> either him or me going to understand like people they change later.

[00:26:54]>> Yeah.

[00:26:55]>> So yeah that's that's the hard thing about marriage. So that's it. The first time is like uh we say uh there is uh seven days of peach.

[00:27:06]>> Yes.

[00:27:06]>> So the first first year is like there all honey and honeymoon.

[00:27:13]The honeymoon is finished. That's real life.

[00:27:15]>> That's true. So yeah, when you're like up from and here in Morocco, we don't have like the culture of go and live with your boyfriend and stuff. No, we have like parents.

[00:27:25]>> Yeah, you stay with your parents. You you dates. Okay. Is that that's becomes okay right now to go on dates.

[00:27:31]>> Um maybe you could travel with them.

[00:27:34]>> Yeah.

[00:27:34]>> But you couldn't really live with them like for example in US you guys live together like for two or three four years. That's not happening in Morocco.

[00:27:43]>> No. like so so you never get to really know the person till later and then like they switch hello this is me so that's the thing >> that's the thing so yeah >> would you say that um Moroccan women are materialistic like they they really care about money or do you think that >> they're more into the person >> and I know it's a general question I'm asking you for you and your friends >> because you already told me if a guy is broke >> you ain't got time for It depends you know like for you like um mostly girls like in their like in some levels they don't want something down in their level you know.

[00:28:21]>> Yes >> I told you I want somewhere someone in my level or maybe better than my level because I'm I'm a girl like he's a man in my in my culture the man is the provider. So how could provide for me is like down me.

[00:28:33]>> Yes. So it is the thing and um otherwise if you said the m about the material that's kind of a big thing to say uh because when you say is our material people they think that we're gold diggers so we're like looking for the rich husband whatever we're just maybe we don't mind rich husband of course [laughter] but we're looking for just a stable good life you know someone going to put you in the safe side that's that's the thing so otherwise Uh, of course you love for the person. Mhm.

[00:29:06]>> That's that's the thing. So, uh, of course if there is money and there's no feelings, no chemistry, that's just not happening. Of course.

[00:29:13]>> So, that's the thing. Me actually my friends is is our beliefs.

[00:29:17]>> Yeah.

[00:29:18]>> To the guy, he should be okay. You should be our level or maybe better than your level because we know the guy is the provider.

[00:29:25]>> Yes.

[00:29:25]>> And of course should be the rest.

[00:29:27]There's no fears. There's no point.

[00:29:28]>> Yes.

[00:29:29]>> That's the thing.

[00:29:30]>> Yeah. And I know um when it comes to dating here um you're not supposed to have you told me yesterday something that we didn't discuss on camera yet that I would like to bring it up. You told me something about white pants.

[00:29:45]>> Oh yeah.

[00:29:46]>> Yeah. So that is what we're referring to. I heard similar not exactly the same in Sagal where in order to verify the woman's virginity they basically put like white sheets on the bed or whatever and then in the morning you know >> they show to the family. It shows to the family and it's a it's a matter of pride for the family that yes, our daughter got married as a virgin and all >> but here it's not exactly white sheets.

[00:30:09]You told me it's >> white pants.

[00:30:11]>> White pants.

[00:30:12]>> White pants.

[00:30:13]>> So explain to us how does that work exactly?

[00:30:14]>> So the thing is when um the couple they get married they have they call it like the entrance like that's when the guy he actually do the pen with the girl.

[00:30:26]>> Yes. In uh in Morocco, we still do have that the girl should be virgin. It becoming no a bit less like for example like the guy maybe they will accept me as non-version because for example as I said is depends on the area we're talking about. It depends upon where we talking about for example know in Casablanca people they start to accept that you are not a virgin.

[00:30:51]>> Yeah. In big cities, they start to accept that you're not a virgin and I could still marry you because we have something, we have chemistry, we have >> I like you because you're special.

[00:31:01]>> Yeah.

[00:31:02]>> But in for example in the countryside get married to a non-verian girl, that's a big shame.

[00:31:13]So that's why you're going to find them always showing that yeah, this girl she's version. That's like that's what make the family about her family and the husband as well that he got a virgin girl. So like they're going to always even though guy like he was never virgin.

[00:31:30]>> Yeah. [laughter] >> He was never by himself but the girl she should be.

[00:31:36]>> So as I said like uh when they do the most of girls like if they're like u their first time >> yes >> they will they will be bleeding. So the blood should be on the pants.

[00:31:48]>> Yes. And the next day they will take do like a wool ceremony and music and do another celebration as kind of a wedding for the blood.

[00:31:57]>> Yeah.

[00:31:58]>> So yeah, they're going to show it to everyone. This is a blonde of our daughter.

[00:32:02]>> Wow. [laughter] >> Wow. So I know there's no way to check a man >> situation, but >> is a man virginity also expected?

[00:32:14]>> Not at all.

[00:32:15]>> It's not expected.

[00:32:16]>> Not at all.

[00:32:18]Okay.

[00:32:19]>> And we say man is man.

[00:32:22]>> Man is man.

[00:32:23]>> Yeah.

[00:32:24]>> Man is man.

[00:32:25]>> Man whatever he does he still man.

[00:32:28]>> Yeah.

[00:32:29]>> But you a girl he do something. Nah.

[00:32:33]>> That's that's not happening.

And uh, of course, it's still there's like a lot of things like you couldn't really share on public on YouTube, you know, like you got to come to Morocco, talk to me, and then we can No, it's crazy. I mean, you got to come to Morocco, talk to the locals, and then you got to you can know them because they're like some things I like private, you know? You got to go and ask the personally. You couldn't really just put them on YouTube. So, that's the thing. like for example some things I even he knows you guys don't know and to know you got to come to Morocco book the tour [laughter and gasps] and get to know me and then you can ask me and actually I'm happy to answer other questions like I don't really have boundaries for questions um just on YouTube is a bit like um too public and uh I have family I care about I have like friends I care about I have people so um I couldn't really be I was real.

[00:36:31]So, I couldn't really be like that real.

[00:36:34]>> You don't need to be >> you know I wasn't lying to any this answers but you know some questions maybe is in her hand >> maybe you want Ian to ask me and even Ivan has like a lot of questions I know but he could already ask me in here because uh this is YouTube >> but yeah of course if you want to know like if you have any kind of word questions you got to come to the country and find out.

[00:36:58]>> Agree.

[00:36:59]>> That's the thing. Agree. All right, we're continuing our journey to Casablanca.

[00:37:03]>> You guys seem Casablanca.

[00:37:05][cough and laughter] >> Back in Kaza.

[00:37:10]>> Blanca.

[00:37:12]>> Back.

[00:37:14]>> Finally. I can feel um a nice oxygen again. I can feel myself, you know.

[00:37:20][laughter] >> Yeah, that's my city, you know. Like no air is like my city.

[00:37:25]>> And there's pollution, big city, pollution, whatever. Sorry. Just Casablanca is different, you know. He can feel home again.

[00:37:33]>> So, finally home. He's not home, but he could feel home in Casablanca as well.

[00:37:38]>> Yeah. Yeah. No, it's uh it definitely feels good to be back, man. But I'm not going to lie to you guys. I'm going to miss Tanger, too.

[00:37:47]>> It's going to be nice.

[00:37:48]>> We just had a little bit too much fun in Tangier. That's why.

[00:37:51]>> Oh, man. I love I love me some tang, man. I love me some tang. I love Casablanca, too. I like it all. It's nice. So quick journey, man. 2 and 1/2 hours on this highspeed train. It go super quick. So we over here. Going to catch the taxi and get back to the hotel.

[00:38:08]And uh try to relax a little bit.

[00:38:14]>> Let's go, please.

[00:38:23]Thank you.

[00:38:24]>> Coming back over here, >> I really see the difference with Tangeras.

[00:38:31]Coming here straight up, you have this idea. Like as modern as it looks, you still have a little bit of that traditional >> side over here. You know, there's a lot of Africans from subsaharan Africa. Or I should just say like Moroccans say there's a lot of Africans here.

[00:38:49]They separate themselves sometimes when they talk, but they mean subsaharan Africa. [laughter] >> I couldn't believe my time here was coming to an end. I wasn't ready to leave at all. The rest of my day was spent driving around Casablanca, soaking in every last moment. Even then, I knew there was still so much more waiting to be explored. Morocco has a way of getting under your skin in the best possible way.

[00:39:15]It's a country that offers beauty, opportunity, comfort, and a quality of life that truly surprised me. More than anything, it made me feel proud to be African. Standing here, there was honestly very little I missed about life back home. Morocco sets an incredible example of what's possible across Africa.

[00:39:36]As my last evening came to a close, I sat down for one last meal before leaving Casablanca.

[00:39:45]Time has a way of moving so fast.

[00:39:47]There's so much to see in this world and so little time to experience it all.

[00:39:53][music] [music] [singing] >> Last but not least, I want to say a special thank you to the guide, my dear friend Zia. Your kindness and support throughout this journey meant more than words can express. Thank you.

[00:40:18][music and singing] [music] So guys, I finally made it to the apartment and this basically completes my journey in Morocco and I'm moving on to the next [music] destination. I took an amazing amazing ride from the city of Tenier back to Casablanca where I'm currently at and that's where I'm going to be taking off from in order to continue my journey around. I didn't want to leave without giving you guys additional information about my journey here. So, if you're watching me and don't really know where to go or you're thinking about Morocco, just need extra information, this is what this portion of this video is going to be about. So, the journey started in Marrakesh and it was a group travel. You know, we stayed in what they call Riyad and that's basically this grandio homes that you have in Marrakesh really is really unique to the to the city just traditional Moroccan style. It is also the biggest tourist [music] hot spot in the country of Morocco. So if you're thinking about coming here and you want that traditional just like with the souks where they sell spices that can basically cure any disease known to men, you know, from stomach ache to headaches, even heartaches, man. I'm sure they have something for you. Those soups, man. Any problem you may have, they have something for you. Casablanca is very different than Marrakesh. This is the business city. This is the financial hub. A lot of the people that you meet here are here strictly for business, you know. So this is the New York. New York is very touristy. A lot of people visit New York, right? I think maybe the most visited city in the US.

[00:41:57]It's not the case here. The most visited city in Morocco is actually Marrakesh.

[00:42:02]It's not Casablanca. Casablanca is more business-like. Contrary to Marrakesh that will give you like I was telling you about the Riads and this you know the Kazbas the market all this traditional the big door knobs all these little things that are part of the you know Moroccan architecture. Here you have a mix of the French architecture mixed with Arabic. [music] So it looks a lot more modern. The roads are much bigger in Marrakesh. You won't be surprised if you're looking out of your taxis and you see a camel and you see a horse right next to you on the road. You won't see that here. Here you will see just cars, really nice paved roads, super big. There is a lot more money here. It looks rich. It is rich, man. It's massive, man. It's massive.

[00:42:48]It's just It's a city that, you know, looks like you're in Europe somewhere, you know. It doesn't really feel like Morocco. You don't feel the extra spices, you know, that Marsh gives you.

[00:42:59]As much as it's a it's a bigger place, it feels cheaper here for me. Now, Tanger has more of a European influence vibe to it. That is as far north as you can go. Morocco has Africa's fastest train and you can buy your ticket online. It generates secure code. You get there, you get your your code scan.

[00:43:16]Security comes and checks. Nobody's going to sit on your seat. You have the same standard in Europe. So, really hop on the train in Morocco. Go around and check it out. It's been really an amazing and fascinating journey for me.

[00:43:27]I cannot tell you how happy and impressed that I am about the way Morocco has completed things here, man.

[00:43:34]It's been amazing, you know. Shout out to Morocco. Keep watching, guys. We're going to be continuing to go deeper.

[00:43:39]This is by far one of my favorite places now in Africa. I I had an amazing time.

[00:43:43]So, stay tuned and find out where our adventure is going next. [music] [music] Welcome to Agadir. Man, Morocco is just that place, man. It's uh it's a place I can't get enough of. [laughter] [singing] foreign. [music] I hope you're [music]
