Why this glass of wine came with an empty can of Coke
Amira and I had dinner at an undisclosed location here in Morocco — a pretty nice restaurant with some pretty good food. While ordering, our owner/waiter asked if we wanted wine. I said yes. And he said: “We don’t have our liquor license, so if you have wine please be discreet about it.” And so when he brought the wine in a glass, he also brought an empty can of Coke so it looked like I was drinking a soft drink. I looked around the restaurant, and just about everybody had empty cans of various soft drinks on the table.
