This weekend we rebooted our Moroccan visas with little trip to Spain. It turns out it is EXACTLY like Morocco. Well, except for the gambling and shows called “Sexo”: And the beer, wine and ham at every single corner: For realz. Spaniards are about as serious about eating ham as Muslims are about not eating [...]

Eid el Kabir! (“Holiday the big!”)
Eid el Kabir (aka Eid al-Adha) is coming up in the Muslim calendar. It’s sort of like the Christmas/Hannukah/Thanksgiving of Morocco in that it’s a big holiday where families get together and eat a lot of food. Of course, there is no tree/menorah/turkey, and this holiday has no relation to Christ/Maccabes/Plymouth rock. Instead, people are [...]

Tangiers + us =
Even though Tangiers was technically an international zone, and not part of Morocco from 1923 to 1940, it is still F-ing magical. See what we made when we visited the fine city below.

Soup and Soup
Today we got our cartoon learn on with Jan Eliot who writes the comic Stone Soup. We were not privileged to a private tutorial. She was actually giving a talk at Art Com, a small art/design school here in Rabat. Proof: She talked about how she started out as a graphic designer, taught herself to [...]

Off to the Wild West… which is actually East
We’re taking two weeks to meander through the northeast, a region neither of us have been to before. We hopped a train from this train station: And are now somewhere* within the carefully crafted dotted lines of this map: Can you see us? Because we can see you. *If things in the northeast turn out [...]

Street Art Part 2: Elections and Stencils and Punk Ass Highschoolers
Last week, we wrote up something for SF Weekly’s “I Heart Street Art” about Moroccan soccer team tags around Rabat. This week we’re contributing again, this time about stencils and their role in the election process in these parts. Check out the full post here. Then, just yesterday, I (Steven) was wandering around the neighborhood [...]

FAR 4 eva
Even though we’re not the most avid football/soccer fans, we’ve kind of got a thing for street art– hence our recent fascination with local teams’ tags around the city. (You just can’t turn the corner here without running into a “FAR” tag.) Alan Hough of MissionMission/SF Weekly even let us take over “I Heart Street [...]
Breaking the Fast
It’s breakfast for dinner every day here during Ramadan. Even if you haven’t been fasting. And what you have for the breakfast (called ftour in Arabic) is pretty much the same every single day, every place you go. At first it’s really exciting. (“Oooh! I love this kind of soup! And these cookies? YUM.”) Then [...]
