Hammamet, Tunisia
Yes, Tunisia is more than a resort hotels, beaches, and camel safaris. When traveling with a buyer, every country can be boiled down to what's for sale. For such a small country, Tunisia has more than you might think. The ladies and gents at this factory can blow a pink teapot for you in under 20 minutes. And if you are Keith, you can make up new products on the spot and a team of folks will make it happen before your very eyes.
Even better, the raw material for all their work is piled up in from of the factory. most of it appears to be broken Coke bottles collected from the streets around town. Recycling in Tunisia is alive and well, (though, the anti-smoking campaign still has a long way to go)

Wow - how do they add the color to the glass? I want to see the pink teapot. But even better is the photo of the broken bottles with the Arabic and the Coca Cola logo. Oh the things you see!
