Many times I have been planning to go there, many times I had done something else. I definitely will go, as soon as I’ll have the time in 2008 or 2009.

Petit délire LINGUISTIQUE.

I can see myself in the bistrots and procastinating all day long, splurging soft drinks, hablando castillano porque tambièn lo hablo con otros lenguas como le français, que j’ai appris depuis tout jeune déjà, et dont les nuances et tournures me sont familières, ainsi que l’anglais that I think to be fluent, not enough althought than my french, but fair, and russian I’m learning to speak the hard way, but can’t write other than the phonetic latin way… YA GAVARIT PLOCHA, ... YA KHATCHOU SPIT U PATOM GOULAÏT,... PANIMAIYOUCH????

Cheers,...

I have to mention that I lived in this country from 1985 to 1989 in Tunis, Menzah 7, then La Marsa.
Sidi Bou Saïd is a little place where we used to go in summer times, close to Carthage and before La Marsa.

I really enjoyed Tunisia, I visited from Kairouan, Sousse, Monastir, Jerba, Gabes, Sfax, ....

I loved to cross daily the Charles Nicolle Avenue, where I had few courses at 9th April University.

That November (I forgot the date) morning, when as Prime Minister Zine pulled out the Bourguiba regime, I was between two
courses, and was really happy that things have gone safe, without shootings…

Went back to Jerba last year, but things had changed, since I left.

Yes that was the former name of that “pittoresque” city few decades ago.

I used to spend some funny and nice time there, and travel to Serrecunda then. The last time I was there, was just after the first putch in the eighties, when a seargent took the power and kick of the former President Daouda DIAWARRA.

All this seems to make me feel old, :-) ... but I’m not!!!
