This sums it all up
Nick and I are out to dinner a few nights ago and a beggar comes up to us. You really don't see beggars here, this was the first one we've come across. He tells us his story and then asks if we can help him. Nick reaches int0 his pocket and gives the guy 10 dirhams (about $3). The beggar takes it, and then looks at us and says "No, I need 200 (dirhams)." Instead of saying thank you and being gratetful that we even gave him anything, he asks for more. We had to laugh. That just says everything about this place.
