 'A place where you have to come at least once before you die!' Kwak Jun-bin admires Tunisia's Mother Nature (World Knight's Restaurant 2)
Kwak Jun-bin felt joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure in Tunisia.

In the 5th episode of EBS and ENA's co-production 'Kwak Jun-bin's World Knight Restaurant 2' (hereinafter 'Kwak Knight 2', which aired on the 13th, Kwak Jun-bin gave healing by feeling the life of nomads 'Beduin' living in the Sahara Desert and wonders of Mother Nature after a difficult journey.

Kwak Jun-bin planned to travel to Duz via Gabes, aiming to meet real nomads living in the Sahara. While I decided to take a taxi luge in a van that leaves when a set number of people are full without a timetable, I was filled with hummus, a mashed sauce made of chickpeas, lemon juice, and olive oil, and spicy sausage Mergez made of beef at a restaurant near the stop.

Later, while departing on a luge bound for Gabes, he faced an unexpected situation and drew attention. Kwak Joon-bin and the production team, who purchased two tickets according to the number of people, were asked to buy empty seats with luge drivers. In addition, he even blocked the road so that he could not go, and eventually bought all the tickets before the situation ended, causing regret.

He bought a new ticket to ride another luge, but this time, Kwak Jun-bin's anger gauge rose further as the drivers argued. Kwak Jun-bin, who had a hard time boarding the luge, said "I think it would be better to ride something else than the luge " and was able to leave Tunis long after the expected time. There was a confusing situation at the stop, but thanks to kind passengers and drivers, Kwak Jun-bin recharged humanity.

The next day, Dooz conducted random interviews with locals in the middle of the desert looking for taxi drivers and nomads, and finally met actual nomads by receiving contact information from an acquaintance of a driver with a desert four-wheeler. Kwak Jun-bin, who has made friends everywhere, tried to communicate with nomads through body language, even though he couldn't communicate with them. Kwak Jun-bin, who even drew a picture on the sand to eat an important meal, eventually failed to convey his meaning and left only a big smile.

However, fortunately, the son of a nomadic camel manager in Dooz spoke English, and thanks to this, he was able to solve dinner and lodging. Kwak Jun-bin, who finished dinner with traditional bread kubs covered with sand and Tunisian soup shorba, slept together in a nomadic tent.

The trip to Tunisia ended with the Sahara Desert landscape at dawn. Kwak Jun-bin had many twists and turns from Tunis to the Sahara Desert, but he met more kind people, so he expressed that "Tunisia is such an impressive, fascinating, and interesting country.' Then "The Sahara Desert, in particular, seems to be a must-visit place before dying in life. He also said, "It's a travel destination that's really moving."

EBS and ENA co-production 'Kwak Jun-bin's World Knight Restaurant 2', which provided viewers with a unique fun through a local trip to Tunisia, will return to Japan at 8:05 p.m. on the 20th (Saturday).
