1) What do we learn about Tuareg culture on this video?

When i saw the video i was trying to pay a lot of attention because i noticed that that culture is very different than American culture, for example, here we thing that the tea is just one of the million drinks we have, and we put coca cola, pepsy, kola etc. first, but in the Tuareg culture, the tea is very elaborate with dedication and a lot of time.
Another thing i learned is that people of that culture obviously wear clothes very unusual for americans, they wear robes and fabrics in their head and face and we are accustomed to use simple and fresh things.

2) The Tuareg are people with traditionally nomadic pastoralist lifestyle, they live in Africa, in parts like Algeria, Mali and Niger, they speak an specific leanguage: Tamasheq , that has an estimated 1.2 million speakers, and of course they loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the tea and respect it.

Barranquilla : Cultural capital 2013

1. Why was Barranquilla chosen? 
I was very surprised when i read that my city was a cultural capital, but very proud at the same time. Barranquilla was chosen for sooooooooooooooooooo many reasons, for example, for her beauty, her beaches, her architecture, etc. but most important for her people.
Everyone can see that Barranquilla is a city full of " perrenque" "empuje" development. We are changing and the world realizes that we are hoping for being everyday, a better place, for that reason lot of people are saying: En Barranquilla me quedo :)

2. Will Barranquilla receive any of the economic benefits Liverpool hoped to from being named a cultural capital?

Obviously, because i read in the newspaper article that some channels like Antena 3 and Discovery networks are going to show to the world so many things about Barranquilla, for that reason, the people who are going to see the commercial will want to come to this beautiful city, and that is called tourism.
