Tunisia

our new Tunisian girl did sparkle my desire to know more about this mysterious and magical continent.BBC is always my best weapon to fire the innocence.i hope can digest well.
it's always fun to satisfy my curiosity,and what's more, feel responsibled for the peace of the world!!!

Tunisia:
at the tip-point of African, rich culture and natural resouses,a definitely melting-pot of civilization.
due to the geographical advantage, it plays an important role for trading for centuries. now,it's also a hotpot for Europeans who hunt for a fair-price, suntan-all-day and easily-access holiday.
Islam came in 600s.French came in 1800s.and it got its independence eventually in 1956.like most of the Arabic-demoratic countries, the so-called democracy is just a masquerade. the censor of media and internet is omnipresent and corruption,human rights are tatoo.
still, it boasts to be the most liberal islamic country in the world. the break-point is its abolition of polymacy.from the official statistic,women play an important role in all aspects of society. it's a level playing field for both men and women. interestingly,in 2006, there was a movement tending to take away the headscarf.
the public education is remarkablely sucessful.all children are in free education under compulsory.
the shadow-dictator government eagerly wants to attract more foriegn investment from all around the world---u can tell from their website, having 7 language version,including simplified chinese.

maria showed me pics last night. her campus,her hippie boyfriend,her family and @ers there. the dusty street, ugly match-box like houses,desserts,gloomy sea,muslim food.....feel like india.
still, they have rich night life. this 25-year old college girl loves loud and lousy music. her boyfriend asserted not marry her simply because she slept with another boy once---who knows how many girls he had slept...
she smokes and drinks sometimes. her brother is in france now.she's fat and a little bit lazy. but seems that she doesn't care ther plump figure.
her english is so-so. but she's talkative and sweet:)
