WE'RE IN CASABLANCA - WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?
TUESDAY! As you all know, back home we generally consider Tuesdays to be wasted days. Days that have no Monday Night Football and aren’t “Hump Days” shouldn’t even get a listing on calendars. But guess what? IT’S NO F’ing DIFFERENT IN CASABLANCA! We know, we know – everybody in Marrakech warned us, but when have we ever listened to anyone? (other than that stripper in Stockholm with the idea about using ice cubes and…)
Look, Casablanca had it’s day, but that was probably around 1950 (maybe 1949!). Whenever it was it definitely was a loooooong time ago. Wait, let’s use adjectives to describe this “wonderful” and “romantic” small city of 3 million sweating Moroccans. Here goes: dirty, smelly, dirty, noisy, dirty, ugly, dirty (did we mention “dirty?”) and NO BEER! Okay, that’s not a fair characterization – you actually can buy beer here but it’s a pretty complex operation.
When it comes to buying a cold draft there are basically two choices. First, you can go to one of the big fancy sterile hotels that have rich American shareholders with daughters named “Paris” and get a 25ml (that’s 7 ounces!) local beer (there’s only one brand – “SPECIAL!”) for about 10 bucks! (NOT KIDDING!). The price is so high because of the Moroccan “sin taxes” to keep the local “good” Muslims from buying it. Or, you can go to a supermarket and buy the local beer (for about 6 bucks per 25ml), they give you a receipt and then deliver it to your hotel later to make sure it’s not for some local “good” Muslims. Casablanca! We came, we saw, we didn’t drink beer…
4 PICS AND 1 VIDEO - WE TAPPED INTO THE HILTON'S GUEST INTERNET FROM THEIR LOBBY!
We could've stayed here - it would have been cleaner! $12 bucks a beer here - $10 bucks at Paris' dad's place!
Our hotel Manager was smiling because...... He knew what the view was from our room (NOT KIDDING!)
THE PICTURE ISN'T EXCITING, BUT THE SOUND......6 TIMES A DAY WE'RE CALLED TO PRAYER!
LOUDSPEAKERS BLAST THIS ALL OVER THE CITY 6 TIMES A DAY!
Now we suppose you two are going to become Muslims? It would not surprise us you silly bastards! You both would do just about anything to get more attention. We think you both should chose staying in a tent rather than staying at that Hilton. It would build some character for you both. Drink lots of that refreshing Budweiser,the "King of Beers," have a great time, say hi to Allah for us, and remember, we cannot help but love you kooks.
guy and cary.
