May Death Forget you
A Direct Translation from Arabic
A man in the restaurant ordered a black coffee and asked the waitress “Have you forgotten my coffee?” She answered: “No I haven’t forgotten your coffee but may death forget you! as the black coffee being delivered to the table.”
A Moroccan way to chat to people is in a joking, loving and respectful way. They are always laughing, smiling and pulling each other’s leg. It’s a loving way of being! The Moroccan’s are connected and united nation. The part that unites them is Islam! Islam has such a bad press in the Western world. If you ever spend time in a muslim country — you will realise they are most peaceful, loving and respectful human beings.
Sure, there are people who will always try it on with you like ask you to pay more for your lunch, ask you too many questions because they are curious, try to be overly friendly and so on. However, I don’t see anything wrong with any of it. It’s a culture that’s not different to yours.
I was taught that in every country there’s an equal amount of intelligent, uneducated, smart and stupid people. Morocco is no different.
