Saudi style
Meriem’s sister went to Saudi Arabia because they were in need of talented hairdressers there, and Morocco, she admits shyly but proudly, is known for its beauticians. She brought back a Saudi get-up to wear to parties. Here it is fashionable to wear, she says. Everyone loves the sleeves, that are subtle but shiny with beads and delicate lace. Just then a Saudi soap opera became noticeable the way TV does in a silence, and she laughed and pointed and said, there even the men wear headscarves.

cinematheque cafe during ramadan
looks like the cinema is doing good business-everyone wants to sit at the new outdoor cafe right on the grand socco. Too bad they can't order anything. It's ramadan.

I like the apple symbol because it reminds me of teachers and knowledge. But the bright red apple also reminds me of snow white and that poisonous apple. In general I am a fan of the bold symbols like the lantern, key, and crescent moon. All this writing I can't read doesn't mean anything to me--and I can just imagine most of the population here saying the same thing--unfortunately.
