Work Life - working on the boat

Life sux ey !? :) I mean can you imagine putting up with working on a 46" motor boat with all its fine luxuries ? Sux ey. At least had my MAC to keep mi "company" :)

Work Life - real estate agents

OK OK so I was kidding.
Yes some locals need to work, but not necessarily the Puerto Banus retirees who have already made their millions. But... fact of the matter is, we entrepreneurs love what we do so "working" off a luxury boat isn't a bad way to earn a quid right ?

Most other locals are all real estate agents ! Ok so not all, ... 90% are real estate agents ! So if you're looking for a home in Marbella & have a spare $10 million lying around, noooo problemou, you're only a stones throw away from an agent...in fact you don't even need to throw, just "drop" your stone and you'll hit a real estate agent ... (in the head ... oops, thats 1 less) sorry :)

Work Life

yep this post is blank :)) What, work in Marbella !? Get real !? :)

Work Life - The Fruit-man

No market can go without their fruit-man right. So you see not everything is different about Morocco :) Just the price perhaps at about 1 Dhm per piece (10 cents). The "modern" fruit-man handing over the change.

But what's UNIQUE about this 2nd fruit-man is that he has made zero changes to his storefront from the old days. He's in his 60's now and has been working hard in his fruit shop since he was a kid ! ... No kidding ! excuse the pun

Work Life - The Olive-man

"Location Location Location" takes on a new meaning here with the Olive men.
Its "Perfection & Placement" ! Lovely work.

You wont find a hole in his perfect Olive layout. So many varieties and tastes. I almost felt sorry buying some as it would ruin his artistic layout.

I'll own up, it was the first time in my life I saw where olives are grown ... nope not from the ground but on trees ! :) They actually almost glow with their half white leaves. Morocco is definitely not short on olive trees, as looking out from the train they line the farm fields most of the way, a lovely sight.

Work Life - The Water-man

All that walking around the markets makes you (VERY) thirsty ... welcome to The Water-man !

Dressed in his vibrant red costume, ringing his bell and offering cold water from his goatskin bag for a tip. Usually 1 Dhm. These Water-men are all around town but usually in busy markets adding a bit more color not just water :)

Check out the 1min video.

Work Life - The Chicken-man 2

WALLA ! Chicken ready to take home ... just it's not breathe anymore ... still twitching maybe but definately not breathing ! Sorry...

Still wanna checkout the video ? coming 1.11

Work Life - The Chicken-man 1

Ooh nooo, my last breathe...the chicken's last breathe that is...
So sad but reality...yep this is how we ALL get our chickens, just we in the western world dont SEE behind the scenes (thank god or I'd be living on a fish diet).

Step 1) YOU choose your cute chicken
Step 2) THEY cut its neck (aaarg...)
Step 3) THEY squeeze it thru their cutting & peeling machines ...yep grinders !
Step 4) THEY clean up the blood 'n stuff (still hungry ?)
Step 5) YOU take it home for dinner ! YUM !?
