The Cheeseman
(Theme song of the Cheeseman is the same as that of Shaft)
Today was a day of meetings all over town. Our first appointment was with a group of pigeon shepherds. We were invited to sit for a while and spent the morning talking in an old man's shanty in the sun.
Appointment number two was with an old man who lives in our motel. He took us on a walk to a mosque that used to be a church.
Appointment number three was epic: The Cheeseman! Our friend from the cheese and chilly shop who invited us back to his "bachelor pad" where we spent the evening on his roof around a fire. Quite soon we realized that the Cheeseman spoke German and communication improved for a time before declining again on account of his heavy drinking. A Kurdish wedding nearby provided us with music. One of the evenings many highlights was the cheeseman pissing into the stream that dissected his house.
As we retired we had another brief meeting with the old man from the motel, but the cheeseman was a hard act to follow.
