Tunis in Paris


What a pleasant surprise! When we went for the second time for breakfast this morning in the hotel in Paris, we encountered Karim, who was working there. He's from Monastir, Tunisia, and lives now in Paris, with his wife and child. He's a typical example of the "white" tunisian: very actif and rather efficient. It was a delight to chat with him a bit in Tunisian language (which is a very special dialect of the general Arabic), it's been many years since I chatted with a tunisian! He was charming, as most tunisians are on a first meeting. Maybe I'll visit that country again, one day :-)

All this rambling to remind me how many young foreigners are working in Paris ... some places (like the Hard Rock Café) have more foreigners working there then locals! Olala, indeed :-)
