Oh wow. I spent my teenage years in La Marsa. I would have never expected to find Tunisians on HN!

Why is that? (I seriously wonder)

From a purely statistical viewpoint, there are 11M Tunisians out of 7.5 billion people, which would put them at 1.5 out of any 1000 people are Tunisian :) Even if we take technological and language exposure (which is what I am guessing you are hinting at), I'd say at least 1 person in 5000 on here is Tunisian :) And I suspect there are more than 5000 people on HN.

If this was more of a small-talk "hey I've lived there and so nice to be reminded of it", pardon my intrusion with data :)

Hey no worries. :)

Yeah statistically speaking you are probably right. It's probably because the vast majority of people around here are from the US. I'm from Spain and I rarely find Spaniards either.
