Mehmet from Jeddha, Saudi Arabia

Amsterdam,

When Mehmet first stopped by my little one-man street shop - just a stupid scarlet red old curtain with my little battered Mandala suitcase on it displaying my handicraft - he instantly reminded me of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, the fleshy nose and typical Arab goatee....

Maybe the big black BMW, private Chafeur driven and all that - CD licence plates - Corpse Diplomatique you know - patiently waiting outside the world famous Anne Frank Achterhuis should have been a dead give-away...still...

The Royal House Of Saudi probably counts up to 20.00 memebers I have once been told...but most likely the first time I had one of them buying one of my funny little hand made games....

Having all these oil dollars and still wanting the lowest price possible wasn't very fair, Mehmet but thanks for posing and the two Euro game will supply me with a 1.98 Euro 80 centiliter bottle of Mooi Kaap tonight...
