I had a kid trying to get me to let him clean my shoes, which were already pretty clean. After I got rid of him, he started speaking Italian to the next guy.. and after that guy shook him off, I heard him speaking Chinese! I was definitely impressed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305064617634359409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296625765853177525.post-66278503684963141842008-01-28T06:41:00.000+04:002008-01-28T06:41:00.000+04:00Fun things to do in the Arab World: So, as America...Fun things to do in the Arab World: So, as Americans in Morocco, my friends and I were typically rude and taught our Arab buddies that in the US, after a good meal, you clap your hands and say "Papsmears" to your host as a compliment. We also explained how "Jambalaya!!" is a typical American greeting. ;) Moroccans everywhere would see us and yell "Hey! Jambalaya!" from across the road. teehee.<BR/><BR/>So in Marrakech, we were shopping in the souk (which, as you know, is ridiculous and full of gift-with-purchase scorpion key chains). I made a purchase from a jeweler, and as I was leaving he yelled "Fish and Chips!" with a friendly wave. Ah- the British are just as cruel. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
