Food for fine minds: 5 Zen Stories

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever [...]

Mandalay-Kipling

Mandalay-Kipling

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin’ lazy at the sea,
There’s a Burma girl a-settin’, and I know she thinks o’ me;
For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the temple-bells they say:

Come you back to Mandalay,
Where the [...]

Weekend

Weekend

Nothing special but long weekend. Saturday I’ve been to AIESEC Tunisia Excellence Ceremony at Berges au Lac and then we moved to a restaurand/club with some live music. Later on, I don’t know how, we went to a mountain near Ennasr with a beautiful view on Tunis.
I came back home at 4 am, found a [...]

Pretty normal week this one, waiting for the weekend. I’ve taken a long walk, getting lost just for the sake of it, in the Medina, the real center of Tunis. I’m going to post for sure some pictures.

McDonald? No thanks

My colleague explained me that the Tunisian Government didn’t agree with the policies of food importations that FastFoodNation uses to impose in other countries, since it would damage Tunisian agricolture, so no Mc [...]

That’s really cool. The day started with a coffee with the boss of the company and then a small trip to one of [...]

Cous Cous and Fac

Cous Cous and Fac

Tunisian people wash their mouth and hands after the meal. Or at least my Tunisian friends did. That’s really curious. By the way, I spent the whole day with the guys of AIESEC Carthage. We went to Sidi Abou Said, one of the coolest zone of Tunis, at the seaside. It’s a chic banlieu where [...]
