Today some classmates and I ate at the University of Jordan's cafeteria. The food was great--this is a common trend here in the Middle East. The University of Colorado's dining halls could take some pointers from these guys! I got some hummus, pita bread, laban (yogurt), arabic rice, a chicken leg, and a mirinda all for about one and a half Jordanian Dinars (about $2).
Prices here in Jordan are so funny, some things are way cheaper, and others are super expensive. You can get the best falafel sandwich you will ever have for about 40 cents, a pound of tomatoes from the grocery store costs about 14 cents, the taxi meters start at 25 cents and a ride across Amman will cost no more than 10 bucks, but an ipod sync cable costs more than 30 dollars. Prolly an import export thing, my economics side will need to do some looking into this...
