Troubadour crash system
Jun 29th
Sometimes, I hate some prouncation difficulties as I get stressed or pushed by strength, but the most mystic about me is that other times I am unablke to remember names 
Last Meetup I’ve made cool discovery of the person blogging some kind of dream “Troubadour”, I know that I’ve been the old style teacher advising kids about homework, bla bla bla… dont matter.
In fact I have spend 4 days to remember and prounce correctly Trou-ba-Dour, woof !!! how painfull those french names getting straight from the middle ages :
One of a class of 12th-century and 13th-century lyric poets in Southern France, northern Italy, and northern Spain, often of knightly rank, who composed songs about courtly love.
The appropiate defintion should be this :
travelling ballad singer from the Provence region.
Any way, now I can say loudly Trou-ba-dour !

Any given sunday : Salambo Fish meseum
Jun 27th
Last sunday I was up at 7:30 when I used to get up 8:30 the working days, but this time I’m really excited like my first classroom day (I haven’t got back till 14 years !), me and the girl from morocco are going to see some living fishs in the “Salambo fish mesume” (if ever I can translate it that way), we’ve took the 47 from 10th december bus tation and got to salambo some 100 meters and we were there patying the entry tickets of 1 D.T (less than one dollar), the meseume is not that big some 2 floors and about 800 M² with a huge numbers of fihes, birds, sea mamels, this is the only place where you can find linving fishes swinning in peace, no fear from a kitchen holic or a brave fishreman…
Fadwa always complain about the desciption pannels put in front of each auqaruim, she thinks that they could do better and that’s my opinion too, the text isn’t that clear and the carateristics of each fish is about 4 lines : where it lives, the weight, the name, and that’s really not enough.
In fact the mesuem is too cold and that was good as the outside was about 35 °C, so I feelt and Fadwa felt cold : come I have warming abilities
We’ve spend one hour in the bus and two hours in the Salambo fish nest, then we’ve stpeed to the beach looking to the peapole dinving in total fresh mediterrian water, we’ve just talk about the details for the next sunday Hammamet beach day and the famous bikini wearing system ! Stay tunned : Morocco is great !

Tunis Music feast 2005
Jun 25th
Last Tuesday was the Music feast everywhere in the world peapole come out with their instuments and play some music, here in Tunisia the music sounds good and as sual we are the best follwers of the international practices, the feast have taken place in boders of the “Tunis Lake”, The “big Avenue” and in “El Menzeh 6″.
I have decide to get in El menzeh 6 as ash have infomed me that the program is based on guitars and that Nassim Boussslama would be there. At 19:09 I was there and the guys seemed to be busy preparing the sound stuff in the platform rounded by a small lake of water, the public was just there, about 500 were just standing for the fiesta, and the JCI boys and girls playing body gaurds for the very young rock bands. Kam, mhenni and kaddour were there too asking for some fun, while Imed gone to the avenue and selmen did not leave his work place when Java dwells like a piece of paradise.
The average ages of the spectators was about 17, and I felt myself too old for the matter even if I have metamophised myself into a young hardoos kid, and brought with me my girlfriend from morocco… the make up didin’t spare me the pain of feelings old.
When Nassim Bousslama satnded up, the music stated even with many technical difficulties when the sound systems were unable to hold all the noise generated by the guitars.
Some funny facts :
Avril lavigne girls.
Bob marley Junior.
The “Saving energy” program is working great !

Bikini reverse engineering
Jun 22nd
As we are geeting small by small into summer holidays planning, my girlfriend from morocco was anxious about buying a bikini, you know the trick that covers 5% of a female body and 120% of male brain, I was happy with the idea that I could get to the beach with a girl that doesn’t use a jebba (full body coverage : the reverse engineering of a bikini) or some kind kind of full wearing, ’cause of shame, …
Anyway we ride the bus 47 from 10 December station; direction : guess what ! Carrefour ! yes, I know I’m a high class man, with a real green girl … In the bus she were already showing me the shamefull bikini catalog, so many half naked girls turned me into the best tomamtoe for your your next barbeque pasta, the bitch tricks were in discount, no I’m not gonna offer nothing I’m just here for assisting the princess getting some clothes, and that’s all !
Once in Carrefour, the Bikini area was a kind of some 20 meters two pieces clothes all fitting any male instinct to see the below …
>ME : so let’s start, this one is ok ….
>HER : No I hate it !
>ME : and this one with the yellow sun flowers ..
>Her : No too classic !
…
At the end of the first time she have taken three ones and gone to the fitting room to try them, when I were sinking in a sea of sweat sp much ashamed while the all arounf were only super class ass nice girls and woman.
The first trial leaded us to a failure, no ! it’s not ok, let’s get back there and try again, we’ve done the Bikin reseach engineering again, Yes I am cool too cool and the gilrs around too, I am still stressed and happy in the same time it’s like your are going to get a noble price from a serial killer handling a 20″ knife.
The second trial with a dozen of bikins was laso vanished ’cause my girlfriend want the perfection, somthing out of order in my spirit, let’s buy one bikin and get out of here ! Mother F**cker ! (That was my internal speech) my visible begahing was the small kind boy with the scouts smile.
So carefour didn’t fit our dreams of sunny beach with a super cocktail in the hand and my girl in the other one, so let’s see the shops around, … Nada ! two hours of fitting failed to convince her that her breast is so wide (yes too wide) she complained about the shape, the colour, the origin, … bla bla bla , the same thing that you see when going for shopping with a female, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I’m still keeping with me that smiling kid, the cat inside is stabbing my inside with its incredible claws …
So, let’s finish this speech ’cause I don’t want to tell bad things about my girl, Morocco, Carrefour or someone else : after exaclty 3 hours of responsible partner she were convinced that no one of those piece of clothes could feat her, we have now to go as she’s late as she turned into alice’s watch holder rabbit, I’ve released a big “woooof”, back to the bus station while some love speech getting around…. No bikin today and no sunshiny beach bikini photo fiesta next week … All in all it’s just an other brick in the wall …
Tunis Cars Fair 2005
Jun 21st
Last friday I was in : The yearly Internationnal Tunis Cars fair (aka SIAT 2005), an excellent exposition of tens of cars makers, not that bad, else that we’ve seen the sams cars outside, the classic Peaugeat, Renault, Citroên, BMW, Mercedes, Toyota,.. and thisyear the super giant ford, a remarquable big cars and … two lolitas directly from I don’t knwo where , But I just know the how they dirty dance while the half of peapole were hooked there abused by their wifes (or girlfrinds) watching them.
The fair was awfully crowded and every neede to touch the cars to feel them, some others were enough courageous to ride on the thing, may be a unique chance to get in that kind of cars, in fact I wasn’t alone, I was with the moroccoan girl that I’ve met in the Gothe Institut Party and she did want to ride them all … my godness, I have to take all that in photos…
Finally there were many others classic cars, two or three famous race and many auto indistry stands, It was pretty good some kind of an evenning “I dont’ have nothing yet to do” balld.
I have reuploaded the galler in a public accessible area
