Outlandish Aicha

We were having lunch at a fast food joint yesterday, when a familiar tune started playing on one of the music channels, it was "Aicha" by Khaled, but this time around it was sung by 3 guys i never saw before and it was in English. It turns out these guys are a group from Denmark called Outlandish, with roots from Morocco, Pakistan & Honduras. I like their cover of the song, and they have quite good voices, but the original remains a favourite that is hard to surpass... What is great though is that i think this is the...

The Recruit

Just finished watching "The Recruit" featuring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell, and i must say it was quite a good and entertaining movie. I was a bit worried when renting it as i read some posts on IMDB likening it to Spy Game, but this one was better. I liked the way they kept twisting the story, it has the most twists i've ever seen in one movie, but what's cool is that they were able to carry them through without making the movie stupid. Al Pacino was great as usual, and Colin Farrell is proving movie after movie that...

AC in, Heat out :)

Well, yesterday was a good day, our AC finally got installed, and the bedroom became heavenly cool :) It really was worth the wait, and even though these days aren't that hot in Tunisia, i just know we'll be needing it more and more as we go further into July and then August, and hell starts opening its doors again... It was a noisy procedure installing it, and one of the neighbours started shouting out of his balcony, but it's ok, i just ignored him, which is something really easy to do with all that drilling noise. what annoys me...

ATM Nightmares

Have you ever allowed yourself to spend every penny in your pocket, feeling safe that you have money in your bank account and that you can use your ATM card at any moment to get the cash you need ? and have you ever gone to an ATM with an empty pocket and that feeling of safety only to be turned down because of a connection failure or whatever other reason and then hit by the fact that you're totally out of money and that even though you have money in your bank account, you just can't get to it...

Trinidad Club

We went out to a cool club in Gammarth on Saturday night called "Trinidad Club" with some of our friends. It's very stylish, very cool, very high class, and of course you can only imagine it'd also be very expensive, the thought that drove me close to a heart attack as soon as i walked through the door, especially as i only had 20 Dinars on me, lol... The place has a swimming pool, a café, a restaurant, a bowling alley, and 2 bars : "The White Bar" & "The Tobago Bar", now these 2 bars are next to each...

Overcrowded Madness

Have you ever been to a place so overcrowded you end up stepping on your own toes ? Well, if not, then you obviously haven't visited Carrefour in Tunisia (a Mega Mall we have here) on the first day of the month. Everyone just got their paychecks, and they're all out there at Carrefour to spend every millime (cent) of it like crazy on stuff they mostly don't need, but are buying anyways because there's a big red and yellow sign saying "PROMOTION" on it. Suddenly, the laws of physics don't apply anymore, and you actually can fit 15 adults...
