Life in Algeria

[Wakanga]

I think you can live happily in Algeria, if you keep yourself busy with good activities, having true friends.

[Aayesha]

What kind of activities can you access?
Are they different for males and females?

[Wakanga]

I think all kind of activities are accessible (Sports, hobbies, NGOs). you just have to look for them.
What kind of activities interest you ?
Some People there are bored, because they don´t know how to spend their time.

[Aayesha]

Until now I had not given it too much thought.
Apart from the normal daily activities, I am usually helping out on a community project. I enjoy going out for coffee with my sisters and friends, I am a bit of an addict.
I love doing nature based activites and sightseeing. Unfortunately I dont have too many pepole I can do it with. I am working on it though.
When time and motivation permits a rare combination, I enjoy art projects or just trying anything new.
