>The people >of Tangier have set limits.
especially during Ramadan. when i was there we were mobbed in the street while carrying a case of beer back to our car. it was a close call, and though Tangier is generally lenient on such matters, (there being all manner of pubs and clubs) there was in 93 beginning to be a rise in fundamentalism there. Hamri, the poet-painter friend of Bowles, Burroughs etc. mentioned to us several times that the 'old tangier is gone' and you can see this especially in the part of town we called 'new-town'. the main thing i remember about that area aside from the western style homes w/ garages was a proliferation of television antennas which were fashioned into the likeness of the eiffel tower.
