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.

A nice hairdo, a Moroccan specialty

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.
