but there is a decided threat of death at the hands of Morrocan taxi drivers.

A friend recently returned from a month in Morocco where she was visiting her daughter, who works there.

Initially, she was very apprehensive about her trip and their safety. Her conclusion was, despite the corruption and poverty, the scariest thing about the whole visit were the rides in taxis.

At one point in their travels, her daughter offered a driver money to slow down and not pass on blind curves and the driver's response was to decline the money and hand her a kleenex. LOL

She said the people, despite their poverty were incredibly kind and overwhelmingly hospitable.
