 What is Rupert doing in Tangier?
One can't be too cautious about the people one meets in Tangier. The Place de France is the town's hub. It's quite a town, Tangier. King-size sidewalk cafes occupy three of the strategic corners on the Place de France. You can sit of a sunny morning and read the Paris edition of the New York Herald Tribune while getting your shoes done up like mirrors for thirty Moroccan francs which comes to about five cents at current exchange. Tangier is possibly the most cosmopolitan city in the world. In native costume you'll see Berber and Rif, Arab and Blue Man, and occasionally a Senegalese from further south. In Tangier you'll find some of the world's poorest and some of the richest.
