Actually, OP, I've been to Tunisia when I backpacked through Europe a few summers ago and got sidetracked there.

Everything you've seen in films like "Prick Up Your Ears" is true. The boys in white caftans great you at the dock first and then later at the train station if you travel around. They will happily carry your luggage or backpack for a few hundred dinars, sometimes trading the load between 3 or 4 happily giggling handsome cohorts.

They are there first to lug your backpack around. They will gladly linger all night or all weekend long for the equivalent of $60---all 4 of them.

Bodies so smooth, so taunt and brown and after just a little bit of work---smelling like soap. A whole weekend of endless sex with men who can only say, "OK" in English. It was grand.
