TRAVELLIVE 2-2016
I have a three-year old daughter. To teach her basic science knowledge, I always play some interesting games with her. One of her most favorite games is “raining ice cube”. We put an ice cube above a glass of a little hot water. Some seconds later, tiny water droplets will fall down like a lovely “rain”. February comes, new season greets us with drizzling rain whose tiny droplets dampen our hair and shoulders, running down our windows and blurring the world across the pane. Once my daughter woke up early in the morning and pressed her face against the glass pensively, and asked me “Mommy Mommy, there are some ice cubes on our roof, right? Our house is warmer so it rains like this, huh?”

Culinary quiescence of<br />
Maghreb<br />
ü Sheep and goat meat are the<br />
“premium” dishes of Tunisians.<br />
Goat cheese is made daily so<br />
its taste and smell are so great,<br />
awkward and aromatic.<br />
ü Like Morocco, Tunisia is famous<br />
for exporting canned sardine<br />
and tuna. Don’t miss the taste of<br />
sardine and tuna mashed in olive oil<br />
and served with bread.<br />
Attractions<br />
ü You should walk along Habib<br />
Bourguiba Avenue in Tunis to<br />
contemplate French remnants.<br />
This avenue is also called “Champs<br />
Elysees” of this North African land.<br />
ü Must-visit destinations include<br />
Carthage, a historical site of<br />
Tunisians with Roman emperors.<br />
This place is also the setting of<br />
famous antique films. Not far away<br />
from Carthage is Sidi Bou Said, a<br />
beautiful Mediterranean city. You<br />
can travel by train for 15 minutes to<br />
visit this city.<br />
ü Apart from Tunis, you can<br />
explore other cities such as El Jem,<br />
Dougga, Kairouan, Sousses and<br />
Kerkuane or book a tour to explore<br />
Sahara desert.<br />
Hands carved into doors<br />
made me curious. According<br />
to the locals, there are two<br />
hands on their main door,<br />
one for guests, and the other<br />
for family members. Each<br />
hand is a doorbell with a<br />
distinctive ringtone. These<br />
hands also express the owners’<br />
characteristics. Just by seeing<br />
the right hand carved on the<br />
door, we can see its owner’s<br />
aesthetic preferences.<br />
Tunisia always reminds me of<br />
unique Roman walls. In the 2 nd<br />
century BC, Romans battled<br />
Carthage to take over Tunisia<br />
until the 6 th century. The stone<br />
craft had flourished until the<br />
Ottoman Empire occupied<br />
this beautiful land. I love the<br />
feeling of getting lost in a world<br />
of colorful tiled walls with<br />
signature patterns of Maghreb<br />
that can be seen everywhere<br />
from houses to mosques.<br />
According<br />
to the locals,<br />
there are two<br />
hands on their<br />
main door, one<br />
for guests, and<br />
the other for<br />
family member<br />
