3rd Day in Tunisia

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 surprised so I asked how it will cost me international call. She said, she doesn't know. I said then why I should change the service "boys didn't like how she is sticking". she said, I will win a phone and tablet. " I only have 2 months to stay here. To move on" I said, my luck and I know it, I'm not going to win. Probably it was not kind of me but it's a good argument to change my network service.

I get to know those boys more and more. They have many friends who welcomes me all and wish me a good stay in Tunisia. Also, there is another place called manzil. Where we have some rest in a coffee. Shisha in Tunisia is so popular and almost everyone smoke it. Because there are used to go that coffee shisha come just with sign of hand. Another friend of them come by and had shisha also.

We exchange many subjects about history of both countries. Throw our conversation I discover that Tunisian knows a lot about Algeria. In this day I made friends. After about 2 hours. I went back home and asked one of them to come spend the night with me. We did some grocery before we went back home.

We cooked together and continue talking about economy, politics and history of both countries. The main dish was so hot that you can't eat in normal condition but we were so hungry.

Good friend

Days pass by and each day was more exciting than the previous day. In the middle of my journey, I was able to see all visit many places, meet many people students, business men, young and old. One morning I was walking as usual to work. Life had giving me such an amazing opportunity to meet a special people, a good person. I was a bit sick when I met him because I tried every food possible. He offered a ride. I initiate the talk by introducing myself. Then, my room mate and finally this amazing person introduce himself. The ride was not that long to talk about everything. I gave him my business card but didn't expect him to call me at all. After an hour, He added me to facebook and ask me when can we meet and continue our talk. As much as I was surprise as much as I was excited to meet him again. We agreed to meet in evening. I think I was talking too much and fast. But we understand each others from different angle, because of my little background on business I had such a pl...

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.

Medenine journey

As I am expecting a lot from my journey, It was much as a surprise to be invited to visit Medenine. I did not hesitate to accept the invitation specially from the amazing Omar. My journey is still in it's first days but as I heard a lot about many places I thought that two months will not be enough. I picked up my stuff and took a bus from Chintech to Medenine for 1 hour. The amazing nature of Gabes will always blow your mind. The road is surrounded by Palm trees with a great view to the beach not so far away. I noticed also the awesomeness of buildings that makes the views even beautiful. People in south has pretty much the same character but has their own way of talking with different accent. As I have just few days in Tunisia. I can't recognize the difference myself. People in this part of country are active and work hard. I have visited some of Omar's friends who are really hard worker and doing they best to make their lives and lives of their families bet...
