🇩🇿 Algeria: A First-Time African Adventure Beyond Imagination 🌍

🌐💫Stepping into Africa for the first time, Algeria shattered all my preconceptions. The warmth of its people left the deepest impression—locals greeted me with cheerful “Salam!” (Hello) wherever I went, their smiles as bright as the Mediterranean sun. ☀️👋 🔊🙏While a few elderly folks and children approached for alms, the overwhelming hospitality made up for it. Staying downtown meant vibrant evenings filled with street life, though navigating the bustling traffic jams became part of the daily rhythm. 🚗💨 🌐💫For homesick taste buds, Chinatown came to the rescue! The area around my Ibis hotel brimmed with authentic Chinese eateries, a comforting surprise amid North African flavors. 🔊 It’s no wonder so many Chinese entrepreneurs have set up shop here—their presence weaves a thread of global connection into the local tapestry. 🍜🏪 From lively markets to serene coastal views, Algeria offered a blend of contrasts that felt both exotic and familiar. A memorable debut to the continent! 🌟 #AlgeriaDiaries #AfricanFirstImpressions #CulturalBlend
