The Roadside All Men Cafes of Tunis

A typical cafe in Tunis. I love this fact about Maghreb region - the roadside cafes, something we don't have here in India. In fact it was something strange for me specially Morocco cafes where all men sit facing the road staring at each and every species passing by :p

So this place is Soukra area in Tunis very close to Lac2. Where one fine night i had courage to click this pic. I always felt hasitated while clicking. There are various type of cafes, and i am not going into those details. Point is its a all men cafe where i can buy a coffe for 0.6 Dinars to 1.5 Dinars. Compared to "other cafes" where it is 3-5 Dinars.

It's Tunis. : ......

Tunis Center : I love this as I love India Gate in New Delhi. 
This place is always busy, you see cars and taxi running here an there  and policemen controlling the movement, people walking around, some clicking pictures [like me] some walking to Marine Train Station to catch train for La Marsa or Sidi Bou Said or Kram, and many walking to the Cafes, Marketplace or Kasbah or may be the Place Barcelone, or may be to the theater or Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul, or taking a walk on  Bourguiba Avenue.

What different one can observe here is the Strikes, almost everyday you can notice people marching with slogans and demanding something from Government and so many Police vans running here and there to make sure all is well. Whatever happens, the Cafes are full,  Sandwiches are made, Pizzas are baked, the Green Subway Train is running, Yellow Taxis are carrying 
It's Tunis.

My line for Tunis is:
Smile, you are in Tunis :)
