> how extremely dirty Tunisia is

These generalized statements make my blood boil. Djerba in particular has had issues with garbage [0]. This is akin to me saying the US is an extremely needle ridden country based on a long trip to San Francisco.

That said, a lot of Tunisian cities do have issues with garbage management and littering but calling the country "extremely dirty" makes it seem like people are taking dumps in the streets which is not the case.

> "extremely dirty" makes it seem like people are taking dumps in the streets which is not the case.

That was not my reading at all. There are several paragraphs clarifying what they meant with "extremely dirty".


> These generalized statements

Generalized statements? I've been walking an average of 8Km a day while on holidays in Tunisia, so I've been to plenty of places and cities and the pattern repeated over and over again. I'm not the typical tourist that is moved from place to place like a puppet through tours. What do you expect from me? To walk all over the country to prove my point? Djerba was just an example. Give me break.


The delusional with cognitive dissonance are easily angered by description of reality hinting complexity.
