Other Thank you Tunisia, from a Mauritanian who studied there
I am Mauritanian, and I studied in Tunisia some years ago. Even after all this time, I still look back at that period very positively.
My experience there made me genuinely love the Tunisian people. I know some Tunisians might disagree with me about their own people, but from my experience, the majority of you are extremely kind, helpful, and social.
One thing I really appreciated was how people treated you when they saw that you were new to the country. They did not just leave you on your own. People would approach you, talk to you, help you understand the language, help you with your studies, and help you with everyday things. They made it much easier to feel comfortable and included.
Since then I have lived and traveled abroad, and somehow the same thing keeps happening. Whenever I meet a Tunisian, I already feel like there is a good chance we will get along. Most of the Tunisians I meet are friendly and helpful, and I usually end up becoming friends with them.
And this is not only my experience. Pretty much all the Mauritanians I know who spent time in Tunisia say the same thing.
So I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the way you treated us, for the friendships, and for the good memories. Years later, they are still with me.
Much love from Mauritania!
