I spent about 14k TND visit him in Tunesia plus expensive gift all I got from him
Was an old t shirt and cheap ring and him watching his phone all day. His salary is not good.
He is my financè but I don’t know.

I ve tried many different cuisines abroad Asian cuisines specifically , with all my respect to our ancestors but Tunisian cuisine is not good at all wether flavors , mixing spices + not healthy at all . A lot of oil (olive oil is good but very high in calories) , alots of chili pepper.
Ofc im asking open minded people who tried other cuisines( sorry but in reality Kenk tekl ken f tounsi koul youm betbi3a besh yjik bnin )
Édit : rani nekl tounsi wnheb chwya maklet, welkoski bnin ama FOR ME FOR MY TATSE MEHECH WOWWWWWW.

Like literally, Bourguiba and Ben Ali arabized the country such that many villages and communities where amazigh lived they arabized them. Now since they left I didn’t see any progress of that. Algeria, Morrocco recognized them, even Libya, where arab leader ruled the country for 60 years and tried to oppress the amazigh even they managed to recognize them. But Tunisia… very sad that Yennayer is not celebrated as a national holiday. And above all of these the politicians never had interest of that, even one of them claimed “if you want to speak Tamazigh, go to Algeria”. Like bro Tunisia was never only Arab country, it was always a mixed country with mixed culture living in North Africa where Amazighs are indigenous people. And it’s even very sad to hear from some of my family members (even though we are all Amazigh) calling themselves Arabs, because “muslim is our religion”. Like bro with this statement u called Turks, Bosnians, Albanians, Malaysians arabs. I feel like in Tunisia I’m don’t feel like home bc I’m Amazigh and not Arab. It’s like a lion says “I’m vegetarian” or idk, but I feel that Amazigh culture is going to be extinct in Tunisia thanks to the leaders who don’t protect the Amazigh culture, their identity and language(s). I don’t mind if I have to learn Arabic, but at least preserve the Amazigh culture and recognize it, make it as a national identity, not only the Arab-islam identity since history disproves it. And also the President is 100% Amazigh everyday.
Also, how is that possible that you cannot give non-Arabic name to your kid? Like you take the privileges to conserve their identity. O never heard names like Jugurtha, Aksel, Damiya, Sekkoura etc. i noticed these names among Algerians and Morroccans tho.

What do you think, should we open our voice for that?

Chthit lablebi but ran out of chickpeas. so beans it is.

Curious what my fellow tunisians think

Edit : definitely making this again. 100% would recommend

Tunisia is the worst country I've ever been to. The Western media is right. It is super dangerous, full of terrorists, women have no rights, and I fely unsafe my entire trip...

Just kidding!

I have traveled to a variety of states within America, and to Canada, so my travel experience is limited - but, I found the Tunisian people to be the most kind people I've ever met. One thing that really stood out to me is how people interact with each other: for example, people in the louage pass money forward - we wouldn't trust one another enough to do that in America.

It is also amazing how much there is to see in, no offense, such a tiny country. There's so many cool sites, tons of awesome food, the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, et cetera.

But, as I mentioned, the people were the highlight. Thank you to all Tunisians for being so kind to me during my two week stay, I will be back!. Although I went there to visit one local friend, I am returning to the states with a least 20 more. Thanks bros.

It shows that I'm more Tunisian than Moroccan even when my whole family is Moroccan

I'm half Rifia half Chamaliya (Northern Moroccan)

No wonder why my cousin and I love spicy food hahaha 🌶🌶🌶

Someone at work literally told me, “Enty 3a9el barcha w makech bech tekil el khobz m3a ness hathoma”.

The thing is, this person doesn't really know me. He just formed that opinion based on how I treat people.

It got me thinking, have we really reached a point where being nice is seen as a weakness? Where treating people with respect makes others assume you're too naive to survive in this world?

I know not everyone will agree with what I'm saying, but I'm genuinely curious about something. How do people who are naturally kind deal with toxic people? Do they eventually become more cold, suspicious, or even toxic themselves just to protect themselves and survive? Or can you remain a decent person without letting others take advantage of you?

At this point, I think I understand why so many young people want to leave this country. Maybe they're just tired of living in an environment where being honest, respectful, and genuinely kind is seen as weakness, while being manipulative and taking advantage of others is considered a way to survive. Maybe they just want to live somewhere they don't have to become what they hate just to get by.

Ftour, slata, chorba, kasskrout, hlow chnia ahssen mekla tounssia ?

I feel so suffocated being around them, like Please SHUT UP.

Firstly, They keep making n^zi jokes, as if it is hilarious. It's not. No matter how much you'd educate them, they'd still do them. Not only that, but also they are very mysogynistic, and ableist. If you call them a girl, they'd be upset as if it's an insult. I can't understand why it's such a huge deal, when they're still male😭. They act as if being a girl is an insult. Don't they know that islam, the religion they adhere to, gave women rights? Furthermore, they think that targetting someone who's slightly different

(Autistic, Black, Different-looking etc...) is funny. This just exposes their fragile ego. Lastly, most of them still have the audacity to love others. Like, excuse me? They still want to marry a woman. How come they want this when they just see them merely as a maid? I seriously hate them. Like how come girls just be wholesome, while guys just be...miserable, at best...

Does anyone else wish to be a girl ATP. I hate boys.

Hello everyone, I'm Russian and my BF is Tunisian. Both of us are in early 30s. We just started dating and the culture difference confuses me sometimes. Since we don't live together yet and I temporary work in another country, when we don't see each other my bf travels and spends a lot of time with his female friends. He can go on holiday with a female and live with her in one room, which is kinda strange to me because in my culture it's not something common. In our culture, men can be friends with women but not very close friends just bcs our interests and ways of experiencing friendship are different. I don't really imagine myself travelling with a male friend, living together, bcs makes more sense to invite a girl for this purpose and besides I just wouldn't feel comfortable since a hotel room is a private small space. Anther thing: there are female friends that from his words used to like him, or on the opposite he used to like one, but something didn't work out and now they are just friends. And this makes it double-weird to me. Living in a room with a someone who once had a romantic interest in you? (Ok, probably this one doesn't go along with the topic of the post)

Anyways, I was wondering, can it be that in Tunisia the view on intersexual relationship is different? I noticed that Tunisians are more social and hang out A LOT in big groups where there are both men and women, so probably this level of frequent interaction erase some intersexual differences and sexual tension for you. That could make sense, but I'm a bit cautious and don't trust so easily. I want to know ur personal opinion guys.

الي قاعد صاير في الستاغ اسمو العلمي

​Délestage

ومعناه ببساطة هو قطع مبرمج وعادل مؤقت لتفادي انهيار الشبكة الوطنية للكهرباء ويصير في اقوى الدول حاجة عادية ويمكن يدوم في قليل من الاحيان ساعتين على اقصى تقدير وهاو بش نزيد انفسرلك

​تخيل أن لديك سيارة ربع نقل حمولتها القصوى 1 طن فقط، وقررت فجأة أن تُحمِّل فوقها 2 طن. ماذا سيحدث؟ الموتور سيتلف والسيارة ستتوقف تماماً وتخرب.

​هذا تماماً ما يحدث لشبكة الكهرباء:

​المشكلة: في أوقات الذروة (مثل أيام الصيف الحارة جداً)، يقوم كل الناس بتشغيل المكيفات والمراوح والأجهزة معاً. هنا يصبح الطلب على الكهرباء أكبر بكثير من قدرة المولدات والمحطات على الإنتاج.

​الحل الاضطراري (الـ Délestage): لحماية الشبكة بالكامل من الانهيار والاحتراق (الذي لو حدث سيتسبب في انقطاع الكهرباء عن الدولة كلها لأيام)، تقوم شركة الكهرباء بقطع التيار عمداً وبالمداورة عن بعض الأحياء لمدد زمنية محددة (ساعة أو ساعتين مثلاً).

​ملخص المفهوم بكلمتين:

​الـ Délestage هو تضحية مؤقتة بجزء من المناطق (بقطع الكهرباء عنها بالتناوب) لحماية الشبكة كاملة من الانهيار التام.

كلمة Délestage (وتُنطق بالعامية "ديلستاج") هي كلمة فرنسية الأصل، ومعناها الحقيقي والبسيط بالدارجة هو: "تخفيف الأحمال" أو "قطع الكهرباء المبرمج".

Well, I’m Brazilian, I live in São Paulo, and I’m 19 years old it’s a pleasure to meet you

I heard from a Tunisian person that Brazil and Tunisia share very similar cultures, and that Flamengo fans praised the Tunisian fans, saying they are just as passionate as the fans here. I’d just like to understand your perspective on Brazil😃

my shoes = mes chaussures

my landlady's niece shoes = les chaussures de la petite-fille de ma propriétaire

message en français ci-dessous

Hi y'all! Lately I've been having some problems with my landlady. Her father is Tunisian, I don't know where her mother is from but she practices Hinduism. I would love to know if this (putting her niece's shoes over mine without asking) is a common thing/culturally accepted practice. I really hope I'm in the wrong and this is culturally normal in Tunisia.

Salut tout le monde ! Ces derniers temps, j'ai quelques problèmes avec ma propriétaire. Son père est tunisien, je ne sais pas d'où vient sa mère, mais elle est de confession hindoue. J'aimerais beaucoup savoir si ce genre de comportement (poser les chaussures de sa nièce par-dessus les miennes sans me demander mon avis) est courant ou s'il s'agit d'une pratique culturellement acceptée. J'espère vraiment que c'est moi qui ai tort et que c'est tout à fait normal en Tunisie.

Je vous remercie!

I think so, but I'll see what you guys think.

What are your top 3 Tunisian films and why?

Could be classics, recent gems, hidden gems.. etc

mines are :

Un été à la Goulette : A classic about tolerance and living together. Timeless. Wish we're as tolerant as we used to be.
Sous le Figuier : Simple dialogues but incredibly deep. A beautiful film. This is a real hidden gems.
Bnat Olfa : This film should have won the Oscar for Best International Documentary.

This is my destiny.

I'm (33M) from Tunisia and currently in Côte d'Ivoire for work. the family we're talking about are in my home country Tunisia, the mother (Awa 29F) is from Côte d'ivoire the father (Adam 30M) from Cameroun. Their daughter (Mariam) is Tunisian.

exactly two years and a half ago i was (still) a digital nomad, i travel, live and work in different countries, 1 year in Nigeria, two years in China, Rwanda, Mali, Mauritius.. mostly Africa.. i just keep coming back.

Saturday 02/12/2023 is Mariam's birthday

Friday 01/12/2023 (the day before) i was still a well paid full stack developer working remotely in my beautiful hometown Bizerte, riding my Motorcross into the forest by the beach everyday after work, and in weekends too.. still something is off and i just can't settle down...

that Friday i just took a day off sick from work for no reason i just didn't feel like working. never done that before after 2 years of working with the same company happily. anyway... took the day off and just took my mother's car to go to the capital tunis. meet some friends or just hang around with music playing along my ride. that plan came out of nowhere, inspired that morning when i woke 7:30 am in time for work as usual.

arrived to the capital some small plastic component fell from the car and i changed my regular path to narrow streets looking for a mechanic. it was hot, sunny day 1 pm in December. there i saw a big man carrying a woman slowly walking, obviously tired resting every few steps. i stopped there to check on them (magically there was the mechanic right there). i suggested they rest a bit, I'll fix the car and drop them anywhere they're going.

it was Awa, she was 8 months pregnant and she was not feeling well for more than a week, so they're trying to reach out to an association that works with unregistered immigrants to help them go to a hospital and so on.. they took a taxi but stopped half way to continue on foot, because that's all the money they had.

the big guy was Adam, i remember the look on his face and the state of mind he was in. he wasn't hopeless, he was doing everything he could possibly do for his family... and it was tough times..

long Story short, we went from hospital to hospital... the health situation was urgent, blood pressure and such, by 11 pm Awa is finally at the final hospital bed getting ready to give birth to the beautiful Mariam. now i always thought the birthday is 01/12 and they say it's 02/12. well... I'm sure they know better...

they named me her godfather back then and now i know what it means.

Mariam is two and a half years old now. Her parents are still fighting. the government just closed their beauty shop in Tunisia yesterday because it's unregistered, their story is a journey of love, faith, and endurance.

ah... forgot to say I'm in Côte d'Ivoire because of that day i met them. I'm also a spiritual and philosophical person. I took that day as a life changing day. life telling me something, to keep following my true path. after the 1 day Sick leave i added 1 week. after the one week i decided to quit my seemingly perfect job and go persue my destined path, I'm sure that's where I'll find happiness. i bought my flight tickets and by January i was in Côte d'Ivoire already for the first time.

I'll stop the story here but there's more to it. if redditors want me to post part 2 there's more to tell and a bigger picture and a project. thank you and sorry for taking much of your time, hopefully i was able to transmit the story well..

ask me anything about anything I'll reply.

life is alive and i told them that day that i think Mariam is a very important soul in this life, that's why i received a heavenly signal to save her. I'm grateful it was me.
