Abed in Tunisia

I woke as usually at 8am and getting ready to start my day. Make coffee for both of us and went to wakes him up. The sweet that Wiem get it to me as amazing and I enjoyed every bite. Moving out walking we meet neighbour that Belhassan knows. He introduce me to her but her poppy was angry. She seemed classy and handling herself. We continue our walk to our destination. It was special day because it was the first time I took the bus after 30 mins of waiting. I realized that bus is a huge problem. We went in road that I took by night when I arrived first time I didn't remember a lot about the road but I notice the train station. Our destination was souk jara to meet someone. Souk jara is the second big place in Gabes. I was asking about names of coffees because it's a big thing here. PS: if you remember coffies name you will never be lost. station was close to language faculty. just few meters away you will find yourself in middle of souk jara. in other side you will f

Bird singing in windows is special feeling each morning. Bird allow me to took a close pictures like it's welcoming me with those special moments. My journey today is about discovering from where to buy and how much grocery cost. I went this time with two boys. They were so nice to me and helped me alot. In carrefour, things are a bit expensive but fresh so you can't find something dirty or expired. In carrefour, there is many stores. Grocery is the biggest one. I took a walk starting from bread where you will see many kinds of bread and in an nice ordering. Meat is so fresh that it calls you to come closer. and many many other products. My special story with carrefour, I meet an phone service called orange was asking us if we have orange ship. I said no but other boys said yes. I didn't know if they have or not but I was trying to understand if there is a difference between orange and ooredoo " because I bought ooredoo", the girl answered no. I was surp

After a good sleep I woke up at 8 am with much energy and excitement. I opened my eyes I didn't know what to expect. I opened windows and took a long breath. Then, went up to see the beach and to enjoy the view. In Gabes you will notice is build are so simple with old arabic touch, white and open. It seems so quiet, calm and people are not in harry. Seems like no one works. Wiem comes with more gifts this time sweets, but I didn't do any grocery yet so I have no milk or coffee. We start walking in neighborhood and my first conversation with locals was to ask for a coffee and cost 1DT. I start my day with Wiem where we went to university. I was trying to memorize all roads, places and directions. Gabes is not big to get lost, Chantech was the first road we took, In this road you will find all what you need such as Carrefour, YaToo, 707 and volkswagen and much more. Then, we arrived to hay amel. This neighbourhood is not quiet as EP house, I saw much movement and people

I had no idea where they were taking me, who is waiting for me, where I will stay or what I will find. All what I wanted is to sleep in bed. In taxi I couldn't see much at night but I tried to remember the places and names of places and people. The taxi stopped, we start walking in neighborhood, it is so quiet and fancy. I was asking for close restaurant to eat but they were ignoring me. we arrived to house, it looks amazing. What I was not expecting is other people waiting for me in the house. My first reaction was ooh no I want to rest. But after I opened the door and saw candles and balloons. It was so romantic, lovely and sweet. I forget all the pain and tiredness, also they surprised me with some gifts and motivational quotes. Without forgetting the amazing dinner . After they all left, I sit down drinked water and told myself it worth it. I wasn't expecting anything like this from strange people. I had many bad situation with close people that made me lose hope in

I am a developer and entrepreneur. I took me 27 hours to arrive to the location I was suppose to be in Tunisia, "Gabes". 12 hours in bus, 6 hours in taxi and 8 hours in train. I rest only 1 hour in capital of Tunisia. First thing I notice when I was crossing board is Tunisian women. the presence of Tunisian woman is so strong. you can't look around to local businesses or services without seeing her. Tunisian are so not as I expected. I meet Tunisian before in Algeria but here it's not the same. locals developed a strong knowledge of different culture because of tourists. locals can talk many languages in different subjects. But, education is poor that's why you will find many private schools and private training centers. Tunisian are working hard to make Tunisia great again especially after actions of 2011. They know exactly that it's normal what is happening now and they need to work all to make things right again. In capital the first thing I saw is
