I really appreciate the way you deal with locals. You are very friendly, humble, and respectful. Very nice video concept that makes your trip very close to reality . Welcome to my country🇹🇳
11:07 Zgougou is Aleppo pine seeds. The desert is constituted of Zgougou pudding (dark part) topped with vanilla pastry cream (light part) and then decorated with a variety of colorful nuts and candies. The silver candy is eatable and is traditionally used to specially decorate the Zgougou pudding. That’s the signature mark! Unlike pine nuts, Aleppo pine seeds are black which give the characteristic dark color to the Zgougou pudding. It’s a dessert that you only see in Tunisia and not elsewhere. Enjoy!!!! 🍮 🍨 🎉❤
Habib Bourguiba was born on August 3, 1903, in Monastir, Tunisia. Following independence, Bourguiba became the Prime Minister and then the first President of Tunisia. He served as Tunisia's President from 1957 to 1987. Habib Bourguiba spent his later years in relative seclusion and passed away on April 6, 2000, in Monastir, Tunisia
This man just said " so mouled is the birth of the prophet Mohamed peace be upon him, i made it here in a perfect time" what an amazing thing to say , you have a good heart man.
Chris, you are a really wonderful young man and considerate of everyone's feelings, so although you did not understand most of the taxi driver's words, you enjoyed his words and reacted warmly to him, although he tried hard to convey the information. He's really a good man . Well, waiting for the next episode of your adventure in Sousse, I hope you have a good time❤❤. The train it certainly does not seem First Class at all, there are other trains that are better and more comfortable. Don't be upset, just adapt to the situation, some adventure doesn't hurt, does it😜😜
Finally an hour vlog 🙌😎 don’t worry about the uploads getting mixed up bro, the point is that you’re being ACTIVE and CONSISTENT…so keep it up bro god bless 😎🫡 Keep em coming!
@@Travelwithchris no worries bro, this is the least I can do since you take ur time to show us all places around the world which is way more time consuming I feel like taking 1-3 minutes to comment won’t hurt me you know and to show the support bro 😎 🫡
Tunisians are like that because of our history and geographical location, it used to be a center of the ancient world and a hub for many civilizations. That makes hospitality implanted in Tunisians. Moreover It’s also your attitude that goes along way man. I live in Germany now but Tunisia‘s beauty and even scent and air is no where to be found on earth.
The conversation with the taxi driver killed me 😂😂😂. You look like you understand him, but you don't 😂😂 It is like a wrong movie subtitles😂. I love it.
the time I watch your vlog its feels like im also traveling with you. thank you so much christ for the experience you always bringing to us ❤ btw, I started watching your vlog after your experience here in the Philippines thank you chris ❤
It is great to see you your video 😍 What a cool and kind taxi driver, how he try to communicate with you and show you the city. However, he said that at Mould Tunisian people go to Kairouan ,where are the the oldest and largest mosque Uqba Ibn Nafi, to celebrate. And he told you about the first president of Tunisia called Habib Bourguiba is original from Monastir. As for the independence of Tunisia it was in 1956. And welcome to Tunisia 🇹🇳
Let me give you an advice, never ask a taxi how much. Just jump to the taxi, tell him that you are want to go to certain place and ask him to turn on the meter. Because when you ask a taxi driver how much - especially in big cities in Tunisia - he will make your trip very expensive ^_^
I already loved your friend. He is a nice people. he gave a Very good desert yummy!. And I love the leather painting you bought from him. Nice place!!! Believed that you enjoy the trip on the first class on the train to Sousse. Good luck my friend!❤️
I travelled on a Tunisian train many years ago, your train looked luxurious in comparison. We had gaps between the windows and the wall panel , you could put your hand through them, such great memories 😂
Mouled IS celebrated in almost all Muslim countries but the Assida is a purely Tunisian thing. Assidet Zgougou is made out of a cream made with pine seeds topped with that white cream and it's decorated with all kinds of nuts (both whole and powdered.): pistachios, wallnuts, pine nuts, almonds.. every person decorates differently .. In my family for example we split the top in 4 equal parts using pine nuts. We then fill each part with a kind of powdered nut and then top it with the corresponding whole nut.
Hi, Chris: Thank you so much for all your invaluable information of different parts of the world that I have not seen yet. Greetings from Canada, your neighour!
Oh wow ! You dropped off in my town's ( Kalaa Seghira) Train station in Sousse I was surprised to see it haha. Quick tip. When you drop off there you find yellow cars called louages ( bigger than taxis) and it costs 0.850dt to take you to Sousse Medina!
40:43 So funny you didn’t understand anything 😅. He is telling about the ex president Bourguiba that lived in Monastir city. And how everybody loves him. He said it’s a “souvenir”spot to visit. You were : Ahhh you worked there for 7 years! 😅. He actually stopped talking about himself a while ago and he’s just showing you around. Such a nice guy. Usually people like him think that everybody understands French they just don’t know that English took over French.
Another option to move between cities is shared cabs called "louage". It costs 13.5 dinars to go from Tunis to Sousse, the ride takes 1h30 to 2 hours and you won't wait more than 15 minutes to get going. The downside is that it's not that comfortable if you're tall or overweight.
the taxi driver is so nice! he was basically saying that he was goign to give you a tour in sousse from his part which means its for free and you dont need to pay for it. then he tried to explain that kairouan is the most islamic and religious country in tunisia and it has a big mosque which one of the oldest places to worship in the islamic word, and since that day was the mouled people were celebrating all day and night long in the city fo kairouane so i guess he was suggesting that you visit it to see the celebrations closely he also kept talking about bourguiba which is the first president of tunisia who made history int unisia and he has a huge role in the deconolisation of tunisia by the french and he is originally from monastir (i think you should visit it someday its a clean and interesting place and it has a lot of history) and he was basically saying that sahel which means the coast of tunisia contains sousse monastir mahdia etc.. im trying to translate as much as i can so a lot of things will make more sense to you it was even hard for me as a tunisian to understand because he was speaking broken french and english😅
What a lovely man that shop owner is. When I went, they had this really spicy red paste, they gave me some in a bowl to take back to the hotel. I didn't know what to eat it with so just ate it as it was, then nearly died because it was so hot lol.
@@Travelwithchris The Amphitheatre of El Jem is Roman, not Carthaginian. Carthage was settled around 814 BC and The amphitheatre was built around 238 AD
And he showed you " Monastir", the town of the first president of tunisia, Habib bourguiba ( the one on the horse in the center of tunis, near the fountain) 😁 ( I'm translating hahaha), welcome to tunisia again
in tunisia there are about 1.8 million hectares of olive groves with 82 million trees or about 30 percent of this North African country’s cultivated land.

That painting does not cost more than 20 dinars,why else you think he gave him 50% discount?
