Libya, taxi driver. ‘No, it’s illegal. So, who cares? Many people die of cirrhosis of the liver here, is very advanced country!’
Pakistan, friend: ‘It’s bootleg, nasty as your primary school teachers tongue. Djam!’
Pakistan, waiter: ‘Madam, if I can have your passport I can bring you a bottle of Murree Beer. This is a five-star hotel Madam.’
Syria, someone who doesn’t know much about Christianity: ‘We’re in the Christian quarter, party party! Blood of Christ Cocktail very nice!’
Saudi, Aussie friend: ‘$200 for a bottle of Johnny Walker? That's it man, I am so headed to Bahrain next weekend. Strippers, whores and alcohol! It's just like Canberra!'
Dubai: ‘Man I’m bored of the spring fashions, let’s get a cocktail in Apres until the hiked-up prices start to make sense. After that, let’s get a cocktail on the way home; and a couple of beers at the beachfront. And then let’s call the delivery guy because I'm running totally low and man, it’s just so damn hard to get a DRINK here.’
