I went into town today and discovered the Tunisian bizarre stalls. Being Arab, I got overly excited by this and was buzzing off the atmosphere. There were a few nomad tents doing shisha, food stalls with traditional Tunisian/Moroccan delicacies including a wide variety of Baklava, Olives, Tabbouleh, Cous Cous etc and plenty of hand crafted stuff like ornaments, furniture and clothing.
I could not describe to you in words how i'm empty i'm feeling at the moment...but i had a sudden rush of feeling at home, as silly as it sounds. Partly because i lived in Morocco too for a short period of time and do kinda miss the daily routine i led. I've always always been proud of my heritage..i miss the culture a lot of the time despite the fact i had a pretty strict upbringing for most of it....
I just wish i would of had time to chill, smoke shisha and drink mint tea
I did get some free food though, from one of the old guys on the stalls who wanted to marry me. He clocked i was Arab (probably my big nose) and said i had "beautiful eyes"..nice one.
This song funnily enough has been stuck in my head constantly at the moment:
I listen to the Blade Runner soundtrack every night to get me to sleep. This is one the songs i love in particular. It brings back a lot of good memories which results in those dreams you wish were real?! Ever since i was walking around the stalls, It hit me how it seems to remind me of the two things that mean the most to me in life, for two different reasons. I don't know why i was thinking so much about it... I think that's why it makes me sleep easier at the moment though... the song seems to soothe me. For some bizarre reason it distracts my head from all the shit going on in there and replaces it with all the things i love and miss dearly. Just pure happy thoughts... You know when you can just sigh just before you nod off?! that nice relaxed feeling when you zone out... Anyway, by now you have no idea what the fuck im chatting about. I'm just blogging this for me really, to remind myself of today....
Much love,
