Mad Mosaic Maze of Marrakech Morocco...

Djemaa el Fna of a day with clouds that looked like they were just painted into the sky.

Merdersa Ben Youssef - A very old Islamic School in Marrakech founded in the 14th century, has some of the most amzing Saadian art/architecture I have seen!






I'm no tradie by any means but even I can tell there is something funny going on with this guys brickwork... Maybe a little too much Moroccan hash for breakfast...
I've been living lost in translation for 7months now yet signs like these still crack me up. Reminds me of the Beanstalk coffee sessions where Riccardo was always too scared to use the bathroom in case a pretty girl would go in straight after, therefore he would run across the road to Thirroul Library to tend to his business. Coffee and Ricci's morning poo seemed to combine more often than necessary... Secrets out now Ric sorry bud. Ha!

Morocco's famous dish the Tajine, eat these daily in Marrakech, the chicken with lemon and olives is pretty hard to pass up.

Stall keepers of Djemaa el Fna will haggle you from behind the safety of their large variety of fruits, nuts and impressive stacks of oranges. The hagglers outside the squares makeshift restaurants were always a laugh, they knew bits and pieces about every country that tourists could be from, they pulled out kangaroo shagger and a bunch of quotes from Summer Heights High on me and I was impressed! One haggler was the happiest guy ever and we couldn't work out why he was so happy to be running around heckling the tourists then we noticed the hash joint he had discretely tucked away in the palm of his hand, we asked him about it and he straight up told us "How else can I smile and do this job?" Smoking yourself insane to stay sane is not as crazy as it might sound...

  2. I'm interested in purchasing an image in Saudi Arabia of the Kingdom Tower IMG_6033.jpg. Link of the website is below. It would be a part of a group of images in the middle east. I didn't want to be one of those pirates that just steal it off of the internet. You can reach me at jedediah50@yahoo.com. Let me know, thanks.
