get out may not be an option at the moment, but i do think getting the embassy on the phone if at all possible would be prudent. - TFox Jan 14, 09:03 20
- (At least get someone on the phone) I'd be at the embassy with my bags and sleeping there until they evacuated me. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 09:05 17
  - Nothing on their site yet (idiots). And I don't have much more $ credit on my phone so I'm kinda stuck. Holed up with a beer and friends right now. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 09:08 2
    - Can you put mOre money on your phone online? -- nm - miss amanda phones Jan 14, 09:39 1
      - pft, if only things here were so developed. - Hotkiss Jan 14, 09:42
  - the only actual instruction she did get from the embassy was to not go out until things settled down. - TFox Jan 14, 09:08 13
    - yup. stay put, keep your head down and let all the crazies tire themselves out -- nm - decline Jan 14, 09:16
    - I agree. Stay put. But I would start packing up some bags in case you need to leave quickly. -- nm - pmb Jan 14, 09:16 3
      - good idea. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 09:17
      - Good advice. Have a crash bag ready by the door. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:17 1
        
        also, if you have candles, matches, flashlights, bottled water etc. get it ready. - Andie Jan 14, 09:18
    - this -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 09:14
    - This is good advice. - Mel Profit Jan 14, 09:13
    - I was mainly joking. Definitely follow the embassy's advice, just be ready to do whatever they say. -- nm - MDH Jan 14, 09:11 3
      - the embassy is located in the most coveted suburb of Tunis, obviously. the only way to get there is taxi. no taxis are running. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 09:13 2
        
        i would assume that if they want americans out they will arrange transportation for you. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 14, 09:26
        
        does your employer have a car/transport possibility? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jan 14, 09:20
    - This is exactly my thoughts. Bunker down - like she's doing - and see what another 24 Hours brings. They know she's there. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:10
    - At least call them and tell them where you are. -- nm - lileve Jan 14, 09:10
- Yeah, I'm bare minimum getting a human response. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 09:04 1
  - Everyone at the embassy probably already bugged out. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 09:05
Please for the love of god listen to MDH. -- nm - lileve Jan 14, 09:01
