Group 1: Learning to Blog. Summary of the excursion from last night
After a long and productive day, we headed for the classy suburb of Sidi Bou Said, dominated by typically Tunisian white and blue architecture.
Mint tea was drunk on a terrace overlooking the Mediterreanean harbour, we even visited a panoramic private roof terrace, thanks to Marouen’s insistence and personal contacts!
At the Lebanese Restaurant, tensions and appetites rose as we waited for the arrival or our facilitators. When the starters eventually came, they were in such abundance that they were mistaken for the main course. In the background, two Yamaha keyboards and a Tunisian crooner provided the soundtrack to various styles of dancing from the ‘dabki’ to the ‘funky chicken’. At first the Arabs made a show of the Brits, but this was soon compensated for by the winners of the best dancer competition, Amna and Pukul.
The photos tell a better story than the words…
Cultural understanding on a whole new level.
