Fes, Morocco

Arabic doesn't have a nice round O sound like the one you hear when you say Mobil. Arabs use the U sound instead: See the red letters in the dueling Mobil signs? What's the third language to show up here? French, of course. As for the handshake: That grip is so American. The Arab handshake is soft and gentle, not a vice to show someone how powerful you are. [1989]
