Masters of improvisation


InsideMarocco. Bonjour le maroc, waste collection is coming! Here in a small Maroccan town at the seaside it's a bit different, well it's rather different than in Germany: an old rickety car with a driver and one guy slowly somehow sorting the garbage on the open load area while the car is standing. It seem to be rather meditative work, as if the guy had all the time in the world.
That waste collection doesn't have anything in common with the German one which is efficient and timed perfectly.

And altogether, in Marocco time seems to play a less important role, at the least in some parts of the country, while in Germany everything must be "schnell schnell."

In Marocco even the dogs are more chilled, they are everywhere, in the streets, at the beach, in the restaurants and they even occupy the toilet. Well, it's the best place to have a nap, isn't it? So why should we call the Maroccans masters of improvisation?
There are countless examples...but there is a striking one: when there isn't a waterful, they just create a waterful by stacking lots of sand sacks in the river. And here it is, a perfect paradise for tourists. At least you can enjoy the sound of a small waterful.

Nuts wrapped and sold in pages of an old school book. That's kind of upcycling! In Germany we do upcycling because we can, in Marocco poor people do upcycling because they have to.
