Today I feel like learning. I feel like learning Tunisia Tunis
Nabeul [Mohamed, my guide
to the wonderful market in #Nabeul #Tunisia #learn] Why is the Nabeul market
so important? It's one of the oldest in Tunisia. It dates back to the 15th century. Everything's mixed up:
fruit and veg, clothes, the spice market. People come here to talk about everything,
to pass the time. They say that girls
looking for a husband come here to shop.
– Really? To make themselves beautiful
and find the man of their dreams. That's right.
– They look for a dress to find a man?
– No. These are dresses
for the guests. A wedding dress is something else. It makes me want to go
to a wedding, I hope I will. – Inch'Allah!
– Inch'Allah, as they say. I love the spice market.
It takes me to another world. – Are you trying it for taste?
– Yes. Taste! Taste! We're not allowed to taste like that.
But you taste before you buy. You do as you please. This is distilled orange-flower water. Smell it. – It's good for the face.
Here.
– You put it in coffee too? – That's right.
– I'm a connoisseur! That's it, very good.
Orange-tree water. It's the local perfume. My mother makes it at home.
It's true. Hello. – What are you doing?
– Pastry. Is that how they're made? I see! Did you make them? – My mum.
– It's always the mums who cook. It's making me hungry. What's this? It's called osbane. It's like Tunisian black pudding. You eat it with couscous
served on a plate. Look at the ceramic plates. It's no coincidence they're used here. Nabeul is the capital
of Tunisian pottery. I'm going to take you
to a traditional pottery. – You'll be amazed.
– Great. Lead the way. Come on. It's not by chance that Nabeul
is known for its pottery: there are lots of clay mines.
This is clay which you have to mix with water and knead with your feet.
– Like with wine. Exactly. It's a tradition
that dates from the 11th century. They've kept it the same throughout the Punic, Roman,
Byzantine and Arab eras. [Concentrating, trying to shape
my first vase #noteasy #Tunisia #learn] You need to use a little force
to shape the clay a bit. Look at those biceps!
Show me… Show me. That's right. You're performing magic. He's a magician. – Ever tried?
– No, but my dad does it. – Really?
– Yes. Hi, all right? Delighted. Labes. Thanks a lot! [Lunch on the beach
before my golf lesson, building up my strength!
#vitamins #Tunisia #learn] Tunisia Tunis-Nabeul-Hammamet Do a practise swing first.
Back a bit. That's it. [With Lilia Maaref and Koukou
at the golf club, improving my #swing
on a 45-hole course #Tunisia #learn] Nice swing.
Come closer, Déborah, that's it. Fantastic. A little to the left.
Just a bit. – Your turn, Koukou.
– My turn. Great golf course. – Nice, isn't it?
– Yes. How many are there like this
in Tunisia? About ten. They're all nice, but different. Good! What's tricky about this hole? Getting over the copse. – Yes.
– You may lose it. True. Super! Pity. Super. Well done. That's a good ball! Well done. It'll land in Belgium! Thanks for a lovely day. Thank you. I feel like Tunisia.
