Creative election propaganda

I've seen a couple of creative expressions here encouraging Tunisians to vote in today's elections.

First, is a YouTube video. I'm posting the link from an English-language webpage so you can get more background to understand why it's such a powerful statement.

Then today, when I brought up google.tn, I found this picture: 

Go Google!  What a great way to support the Tunisian elections!

Even Minute Maid encouraged people to vote by running a contest for people to vote for their favorite juice:

All to encourage Tunisians to participate in the first free elections in many years.

Tunisia News

The breaking news from this side of the world: Gadhafi has been killed.  So far, I haven't heard or seen too much disturbance related to it. 

In other news, Tunisia will become the first of the Arab Spring countries to hold free elections this Sunday.  Everyone is wondering what will happen here. 

Should be an interesting weekend!

I've arrived!

Just a quick note to let you all know that I've arrived safely and soundly (and with all of my luggage!) here in Tunis.  I'm severely jet-lagged, though, and I feel like I've been up forever!  But I'm valiantly trying to stay awake as long as possible because I have a crazy schedule for the next couple of days and I need to get on this time schedule ASAP.  Starting tomorrow, I will be observing two classes, on Friday I teach a demo lesson and then Monday I start my own lessons.  All in addition to searching for an apartment.  Nothing like jumping right into it! 

I'm on my way!

I'm in transit on the way to my new adventure!  I've got a job teaching English as a Second Language for a NGO in Tunis, Tunisia.  For those of you that need a geography refresher, this is where I will be:

I'm really excited-it sounds like it will be a fantastic opportunity and I'm really excited that I got a job so quickly after finishing my CELTA course.  Luckily, it seems like I will be able to update my blog fairly easily, so stay tuned for more updates as the adventure kicks off.  (I'm sure I'll have good stories for you soon!)
