It’s all about Football
Sep 28th

Here in Tunisia, Football (soccer) is the most poppular sport, something holy and EST (Esperance Sportive de Tunis) is the dominant football team as United Munchen or Arsenal , …

The supporters are too excited telling about their faith and colours and as you can see here in the photo, an EST supporter has just turned the little street that leads to the “Passage” metro station -just few metres after the rail road- into a carnaval of red, yellow and black.

The exam lasts 3 hours, the subject was about the intercation the digital revoltion and the public service, a very wide area of studies, it would a little hard as I’ve seen that on particpants faces.
The Bloody punch
Sep 22nd
Yesterday a band of girls that seems ruling the near by are of champion stores, were agressing a man who punched one of them, the girl with a bllody face furious , crying and the crowd -as anything heppens- got wider and wider, the boy was far when the girl’s refinforcments come : 5 girls and a gay, the public was really satisfied that the slut got a nice lesson making her think twice before trying to open her dirty mouth.
Unfotunally I was there a bit late a haven’t taken photos, I have only took a video of the after.
Maghreb Blog : The other non-MFS bog host
Sep 20th

This is the best ever-seen trick for this year, after the guys have establisheb a commun maghrebian Blog, it seems that some one has launched a free blog service in the name of the maghreb (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocoo).
The singing up in was easy and took a few seconds, the administration panel is quiet good and remember the sam egine as plog (The blog engine used by Phpmagazine.net). The post editor is offering simple editing mode with the ability to upload images, stats and referincing capabilities. But I was unable to identify the inside blog engine, it seems that the autrhor have written the code from scratch (PHP).
The new blog service is quiet good, with the only Google ad as hidden fees and no template handling, no trackback, no RSS, …, the server is quiet fast I recomand you to take a look as we should always promote local services, but there is still a great work to get done.

A new Tunisian Blog : TuniZika
Sep 19th
TuniZika (a compound name of Tunisian muZika) is a new Tunisian blog cutting far with the habit of the others blogs, it’s some kind of E-zine that offers a bi-monthly audio program presenting Tunisian music that you will certainly never hear in national or private radios here in Tunisia.
The first issue of 16 minutes (arabic) is heavily commented by the author who is fastly presenting the artists where he is dealing about the greatest unknown tunisians artits almsot living outside the country :

Back From Sidi Bouzid
Sep 16th

Last wednsday we’ve left Tunis at 3 am early in the moring (or may be late in the night) our office car traced a route till the middle of of the south, direction : Sidi bouzid aka Sidi bou (they claim it against Sidi bou Said’s abbreviation), at first I tought that I will face a dry climate with a sandy landscape and that was false, in fact Sidi bouzid is a ver rich agricultor area with the taste od the south, it makes a real breakpoint between the greeny noth and the yellowish south.
The town of sidi Bouzid is a really tiny, one big streets some administrations and tores and that’s all, it wouldn’t be greater that for example Lafeyette or may be smaller, it’s urbanism style is well shown by the onlt two artworks that I did shoot, after you’ll certainly calss it as a village no more than a rural small poppulation ceoncentration.
Sidi Bouzid is know for it quality sheeps, and we’ve tasted that while the grill was holding more than 3,5 Kg of pure meat, I got fat and didn’t finish the meat party.
On the road I’ve taken more than one hundred photos of the moutains all around, the awesome dry elevations were awesome, then when reaching Tunis before the Highway finish line, I’ve also taken an other doezn of photos of the sunrise, I wish if you would take look there.

A new Tunisian Blog : Toon-c
Sep 16th

While browsing last Tn-blogs feeds like every midday, I have captured a new blog, the Toon-c blog have started in lately by the end of july based (of blogger.com) with a lot of tunisian spices, it tastes really tunisian as long with many pictures and mp3s, the blogger’s location, sexand name are not mentionned inside, but it seems that he is somewhere in Sousse or at least studing or working there.
I was totaly sold, by the blog avatar, zoomed to the full size, it’s one of the best photos I’ve ever seen in a tunisian blog : the old man and Al Jam amphitheatre, the blog is a promising new tunisian blog, I really like it, you should take a look inside.
