The first thing I noticed about Algeria was how European it looked. The capital is a mixture of French architecture and Arabian culture. The second thing I noticed was how friendly and easily approachable people are. Their sense of humor is equally striking. Within a minute of chatting to someone they’ll be joking with you like you’re palls. It’s such great fun!
When talking about happiness here I got the usual answers like ‘family’ and ‘friends’ but also more philosophical answers. A man in the park told me he thought happiness is a journey. It’s on the path that leads to the goal that you will find happiness, in the little moments of joy in life. Another one said that happiness could be found between two sorrows. If you do not know sorrow in life you cannot truly appreciate the good moments.
I truly enjoyed my stay in Algeria. I had wonderful company and met some inspiring people.
