Polite Chit Chat

Posted in Tunisia

We were in the hotel lobby waiting for the elevator, when another guest, a Tunisian woman now living in France, started up a conversation. After the usual polite chit chat, she asked us where we were from. After hearing the answer, she smiled, waved her hand in the air and said: “Oh, la Canada! C’est beau la Canada. Oh la la!”. Then she paused, leaned in and said (and I quote), “La Tunisie, c’est la merde. La merde!!!”. (For those of you who don’t speak French, she said “Tunisia is crap…Crap!!”). The elevator door opened and she stomped off. We could still hear her mumbling: “La merde…pfffff”. :-D

Okaaaaaaaay. Well then…this may be even more interesting then we thought! ;-)
