Rabat Page #5

I used to live in Barcelona for a year.

- Barcelona. How's Barcelona?

It's lovely. It's one of the most

beautiful cities in the world.

Have you ever been there?

- No.

I still have some friends there,

so I try to visit them every 6 months.

That's cool.

So, how long are you going to stay?

Well, I don't know.

So, you guys are really going to Rabat?

Yes, he is bringing

that old taxi and we join.

Nice. You must be really good friends.

Yeah. We're friends now

for seventeen years.

Grew up in the same neighbourhood.

And now you're on holiday together?

- No, it's not a holiday.

They weren't even invited. They just came.

- Well, that's...

Can't we take her to Barcelona?

- No, man.

Why not?

We're passing by, we can drop her and visit?

- No time.

So we'll really pass one

of the most beautiful cities?

Have any of you been there?

- No.

Me neither.

- So what.

I've only ever been to Tunisia.

To my grandma's village.

In France all we saw was a prison hotel,

a pizzeria, and a supermarket.

Come on, man.

Just two hours.

We'll drop her, walk round

for two hours, that's it.

Then we have to drive fast. I want to

hit Algeciras tonight. It's 1000 km.

Where do you need to be in Barcelona?

Oh, in El Born.

It's in the centre, but you know, the party

is kind of late, so I'm not in a rush.

It's an anniversaire surprise.

A what?

- An anniversaire surprise.

You know, if somebody gets home

and it's all dark and...

...when the light goes on

there are all these people?

Sounds like a robbery.

- No it's not!

There are friends and they have gifts

and cakes and they all shout: Surprise!

A surprise party!

- Yeah that's it.

Anyway, the party doesn't

start until ten, so...

...if you want,

I can be your guide in Barcelona...

...as a thank-you for the ride.

That would be really nice.

What do you guys do in Holland?

I just finished an economics degree.

And well...

...right now, I'm kind of doing nothing.

I work at my uncle's restaurant.

Restaurant?

- Kebab restaurant. What?

We sell dner, we sell kebab...

My uncle has four shops.

- I love that stuff.

You do?

- Yeah, why?

You don't look like a girl

who would eat it.

And you?

- Me?

I love it. Yeah.

I get it free when he's working.

No, what do you do?

I'm in between jobs now.

Just work a bit here, bit there, sometimes.

The three of us are opening

our own business soon.

Yeah? What kind of business?

- It's a restaurant.

But it's a revolutionary concept so...

I can't tell you more.

I get it. It's okay.

- Sorry.

What do you do?

I just finished my second year of art

history. Just two more years to go.

Art history. Is there any money in it?

Good money.
