Just inside Bab Boujloud - a good example of several vaguely interesting phenomena.
A tourist cheerfully flouting both the whole 'don't eat during the day' thing going on for Ramadan by having a half-empty bottle of icy cold coke on their table, taunting passers-by (remember, the temperature is consistently mid-40's or worse, in the shade, and this was around 2pm).
And they're wearing shorts - for reasons that aren't entirely sensible, this is considered culturally insensitive. The only other person sitting down was rugged up, and she certainly wasn't partaking of refreshments.
Sitting under a coca-cola umbrella - a symbol of the nasty infidel-populated west. But the umbrella's broken, so maybe it balances out.
