Re: Do and don't in Tunisia
Well, it is certainly one of the most open minded muslim countries but please read below:
Do not wear skirts that are short, cleavage, etc.
No public display of affection
Some taxis that are very religious will not take you in if you bought alcohol.
Do not discuss religion with anyone and or politics. Avoid getting into any disputes.
If you are conscious about your personal space, I do not recommend you living here. There are no laws of non smoking in public places. If you are allergic you are in for a treat.

Re: Do and don't in Tunisia
hello, concur with previous comment. Genrally people are quite friendly here, minus a fair chunk of the usual landlords :-) ... the arabic spoken here is very different from high arabic. French is widely spoken, but the usual bunch of nice words in the local dialect help to get started.

Re: Do and don't in Tunisia
hi, I'm half Tunisia, Half Ukrainian, But i spent the most of my life in Tunisia.
Personally i agree with suereyesjohnson, only on this point:
"Do not discuss religion with anyone"
most of the people accept the fact that u are non Muslim only (if your parent aren't of course^^). and speaking about religion is not so... forbidden.
Another point, there a re great people in Tunisia, but a big part of the population try to be crafty with strangers (non Tunisians), So try to make real friends.
ps: i regret: "No public display of affection"
