Everything in Algeria is Free (Tlemcen)
this is a famous sandwich here in the the western part of Algeria right and it's made with chickpeas garbanzo beans go go how much do you in my you [Music] you know what's funny is that everybody in Algeria loves Tupac he loves Tupac Tupac biggy smok biggy smok you can see me good morning guys and welcome back to another beautiful day here in Algeria now today I'm talking to you guys from Clemson I actually arrived here uh via hour and a half in a private taxi from Oran so it took a while to get here but I think it is totally worth it I mean this city already looks completely different than anywhere else I've been in the country because Clemson is known as the last City it's very um similar the architecture is very similar to Moroccan architecture because it's located right on the border of Algeria and Morocco now today I'm with Melika and safia she's over there taking pictures of glattus I'm also with glattus it's going to be a nice group of us we're going to be exploring slson right now we tried to take the cable car but the cable car is closed and um melica asked and they said they're going to open maybe in 2 hours yes okay so later on we'll come back and we'll attempt to ride the Delo the cable car up to up top the mountain but yeah sorry I'm I'm a bit off right now and that is because I was asleep the entire time I should have been enjoying the views but yeah I went to sleep super late last night and the entire ride put me to sleep I fell asleep and woke up in Clemson so here we are we're going to start exploring tempson I'm really excited it's very calm it's very calm it's a Friday so it's basically everybody's day off everybody's probably sleeping enjoying their day so yeah streets are very calm this morning but right now we're about to make our way to the Grand Mosque of Clemson right yeah awesome it's about 6 minutes away from where we are we're walking the streets now we're going to make the most out of this quiet day here in temp Sim but we're walking by this bank right now super beautiful the architecture here and as we're walking mikica just pointed out something funny melica said you smell the couscous and that is because on Fridays families make couscous at the house what is the most famous couscous in Algeria yeah Al Al cous aler couscous and the most famous couscous is just vegetables or chicken too no we have uh many different types of cisus okay yes but but every every time you make different couscous yeah okay awesome we we uh cook it with uh soup and vegetables with soup and vegetables yes we uh there's uh and you can eat with honey and uh you can eat couscous with honey Peanut and nuts uh it's called the sifa sifa and that's the best even if you like sweets okay I didn't know you can have a sweet couscous there are some cafe shops open here here in Algeria everybody likes coffee and I noticed that people like coffee more than tea except them two they don't like coffee they're the only they're probably the only two people in Algeria that don't drink coffee but yeah this here is beautiful what I wonder what this is looks like a school maybe middle school middle school oh it is a school Salam alikum it is a school that's cool but yeah everything is closed it's a day of relaxation everything's closed except this Cafe look at this Cafe there's a bunch of men smoking cigarettes drinking coffee I feel like for for the old men a cigarette and coffee is breakfast not one cigarette like six what this one how many dinar is one pack of cigarettes in Algeria it's expensive but they buy it but they still buy it or 30 uh no 400 yeah 4 300 oh so like 400 or 3050 350 okay so that's like 300 that's like $4 $34 that's expensive for cigarettes right yeah exactly but the people still smoke so maybe I think what you were trying to tell me is like maybe they won't have money for food but they'll have money for cigarettes huh it's call of depression and stress depression and stress huh now I have a question is smoking cigarettes yes because it hurts your health it hurts your body right that's what I was wondering I was wondering why is smoking okay and drinking no but they both do the same thing yes right they do they both yeah they they poison your body crazy but yeah people smoke cigarettes all day long I can imagine during the day this street is very very busy no I don't smoke cigarettes I used I did I did before I don't smoke though I it makes me feel terrible it SMS good yeah it's not good and you know many bad things happen like you get cancer you die at a young age like I don't want that for my family but yeah I respect everybody's decision know if you guys like to smoke cigarettes don't kill me in the comment section keep smoking your cigarettes it's fine we're going straight oh
