The Tangier Scene- The Los Angeles of Africa

June 10th, 2009

Last April I had a had a weird instinct tell me to go to Africa. I know what you are already thinking. What this hell is this White Dude thinking?!?! He’s not black or from the 90s. I went in search of the something not knowing what and fell in love with the Los Angeles of Africa. You might wonder why I would call it this. I have 10 damn good reasons:

1. The Weather.
2. Most of the people don’t speak English.
3. Food is dirt cheap and amazing everywhere you go.
4. Palm Trees and Beaches Everywhere.
5. The Smokage is the better than most of Europe.
6. There are Mosques, Churches, and Synagogues foot steps away from each other.
7. Lots of Arab dudes smoking cigarettes on the street. Lots of Arab dudes with Mercedes. Lots of Arab dudes giving you the “hookup” because their cousin knows someone.
8. Ellen is on TV on the channel up from Al Jezera
9. 1/2 of the buildings look like they were at the hayday in the 70s and early 80s.
10. Most of the people come there are from somewhere else.

It is a beautiful place that is a strange cross between The Middle East, Africa, France, Spain, Portugal, the UK and even the United States. Enjoy the photos they were taken by my German friend Olaf. Homeboy didn’t like it as much as I did, but I could understand. German people are really into traveling to Mexico and Central America. It really confuses the hell out of us Californians why they like this.

Enjoy some pictures and some Sadistic French Disco since Moroccans don’t make dance music this is the next best thing.
