The World of Coke

I love Coca Cola signs. Anywhere you are in the world, you can be certain you will find at least one Coke sign. Coke was the original pioneer of globalization.

I spied this Coke sign on a side street in Tangier, Morocco. Usually the Coke signs have both native language as well as English branding, but this sign is only in Arabic.

The Death of George Bush

We were in Tangier, Morocco the day after the U.S. Presidential election. Barack Obama was victorious and the rest of the world was cheering the ultimate demise of George Bush.

With that background, we were walking through the cemetery of St. Andrew’s Church in Tanger, Morocco. Our local guide pointed out the tombstone of George Bush.

It was definitely ironic.

Moroccan Stop Sign

I spied this stop sign in Morocco just outside the uber-luxurious Le Mirage Resort (http://www.lemirage-tanger.com/) on the outskirts of Tangier, Morocco. I love signs that have the same meaning, but different script.

This was a real gem!

Arabic Script

On our recent trip to Tangier, Morocco, I became fascinated by Arabic script. I think it is really beautiful. I have no idea what the sign says, but it looks great!
