This guitar-like instrument on the wall of a restaurant in Le Kef was identified by one of the local customers as Saharan. He wrote down the name "grana", but we haven't been very successful at finding out much about it on the Internet. The consonant isn't at all "g"-like, by the way. |

As we left Le Kef, we were mobbed by these students on a break during school. Our Tunisia handbook reveals that there is a special word in Arabic that you only use on excited kids to tell them to go away; it's rude to use that word on other people that you want to go away. But I like the attention. Notice also, that whatever folkloric buffoon to whom they may be analogizing us in their private dialect, they aren't trying to sell us carpets. |
