Photo above / 以上图片: A fabric and carpet shop in Morocco

Photo above / 以上图片: I really like the different shapes and shades of leather lamps, hand-made in Morocco of course.
Photo above / 以上图片: These are metal oil lamps hand-made and hand-painted by artisans in Morocco.
Photo above / 以上图片: You can tell I like the colourful fabric.
Photo above / 以上图片: Morocco is famous for the use of different spices for cooking. Anyone who has been to a souk (market) which is often inside a medina (walled part of an old city) will recognize the cone-shaped heaps in a spice shop.
Photo above / 以上图片: I took this picture inside a spice and herb shop in the souk next to Djemaa el Fna in Marrakesh, Morocco. I believe these are bottles of oil for traditional healing purpose.Related link:

這些相，實在太貼題不過了！
Michelle: Merci !!
bbbbeautttttiful!!!!
我覺得鍾意色彩繽紛嘅民族都係開心嘅!
我幾年前都有呢一張．．． 有少少類同.
Xiao Zhu: As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Phew!! that saves me a lot of writing :)
Mad Dog: Yes, the pic you took in Portugal is similarly colorful !!
wow... these pics are great.
wonder how they sell the spics without ruining that triangle shape...?
Amazing....
GwenandIan: Yeah, especially if a customer wants to buy from the bottom-half of that nicely packed heap :O
wow!! thanks so much Haricot!

Great pix! How I wish I could visit Morocco soon!
We just bought an orange tagine & I'm really excited about cooking something in it soon!
感情色彩 emotional colour
so good ar
周游: My response to you ends up to be quite long. So, I will post it as a blog article.
>> ... 張之亮的'慌心假期'
Some comments from an imdb reviewer:
"... which plays into many foreigners' worst prejudices and fears about the Arab world ..."
Hongkieatlarge:
Yes, Morocco is an interesting country to visit.
I bought a Moroccan tagine too, but there is one thing you need to be aware of. Paint from developing countries might contain high lead. You should think twice before using it for cooking and serving foods (unless you are sure the lead level is safe). It is a great piece for decorating the table though !!!
木棉_簡單快樂: I am glad you like the pics :)
oh, you think that is 張之亮's intention too ? i would take it just like any other scaring movie...
Michelle: No, I don't think it had been intended that way, despite what that one reviewer said.
the pictures are so colorful! life is so colorful ye? 生命本身已是精彩的，我们更应该活得更精彩！
啤酒花™_J: I agree with you 100%, 共勉之!!
