Quotable Quotes in Morocco

Below are some funny lines we heard as we were wandering around Morocco:

“Abu Sayyaf, good man, good man!” - by Mohammed the Taxi Driver after he learned where we were from.

“It’s made of leather, not plastic.” – by an annoyed leather seller in Fes after Mench bargained 1/3 of the price.

“You won’t see anything there, it’s closed.” – by a persistent boy who wanted to guide us. We resisted so he just told us that there is nothing to see where we were headed since it was closed. Huh, the souks closed?

“Konichiwa!” – by too many Moroccans who couldn’t figure out where we were from. Bad for us since the Japanese are top on their list of big spenders and we did not fit that profile at all.

“It’s impossible” – by a few shopkeepers after Mench tried to bargain with them.

“Are you students?” - by a shopkeeper after we did some hard bargaining. Maybe he thought that we were on allowance that’s why we had so little budget.
