Dear Jones

I referred to people who will not help a person (Chapatti) by talking about something totally different. He asked if should he learn French and some bewildered person told him to learn Arabic.

I resent silly comments from other people who only wish to provoke. You are one of those, I think. Your post is rude, aggressive , and confrontational. I will not respond in like manner to your unwelcome post, though your unasked for intervention is unwelcome. If you cant be polite then dont post to me please. Thanks.
I hope the moderator notes your provocation and acts on it. If you had politely asked me for a translation I would have given you it. Now you can do it yourself. You will find that your unpleasantness is unfounded. Empty vessels etc....

Please dont try to provoke any more, or be rude. I wont answer you.

I have calculated corruption into my budget (like 150€, but I am a newbie as my status is at the moment on this website as well). It will be Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Marocco, (western sahara), Mauritania, Mali, Senegal, Gambia.

I think some Arabic is fine but French seems a little easier. In Marocco people speak Arabic but that is the Marrocan dialect and not standard Arabic (which is different). Salam Aleykum is understood though. I am not in any rally or challenge. I don't have a moneytree or something in my garden.

Thanks guys....

Hi Chapatti, you wont be asked for any bribe in Europe, and highly unlikely in Morocco. Have a great trip, have fun!!!!

One way ticket to Barking, if you know what I mean....

'nuff said.

wow....hahahaha....I asked a question:rofl: ....

why are u guys fighting:funmeterno: .

Look about how great these smileys and things are:D .

Maybe you guys should hit the road somewhere soon:mchappy:

I actually liked it and thanks for all help for now:wheelchair: :wheelchair:

Cheers...:rockon:

Yes sure...in Europe there are not really bordercrossings. I am more worried about the bordercrossing into Mauritania, Mali and Senegal but I understood that I should not give anything, so I won't. Saves a lot..:thumbup1:

Youre right, when I tried to ask these people to answer your question they went bonkers. Its obvious they cant stick to the point and would be very unreliable to travel with. They would be a liability and childish into the bargain. Dont listen to these people - it would be disaster!!! Theyre the kind of traveller you would plan to leave behind "by accident".....tiptoeing away at dawn etc!!

Best wishes!
