There's a few things that I can't quite make a whole story about, but still wanna share with you all!
Here's a funny picture from a place near campus that makes heart shaped Falafel--unfortunately they're not very good by Jordanian standards:
On the way to Wadi Rum last weekend, we stopped by a bakery just outside of Amman and picked up some breakfast goods. The guy heated the sabanekh, manaeesh, and other bread stuff in a microwave before he gave it to us, pretty gross. But to make matters even worse everything was on a styrofoam tray, in the microwave! As soon as Nick got back to the car he said "Dude, he just put the styrofoam in the microwave" I hope to never hear that again. Pretty gross, but as the Jordanians say--Adii. Adii literally means "normal" and is usually used to just brush off whatever and move on.
Any foreign girl in Amman: "My taxi driver this morning said he has a brother who I could marry--Adii"
Today on the bus to downtown I was chatting with some friends in English and a man turned around and told us "How lucky you all are to speak english without any mistakes, I wish I could too". As embarrassing as it is that most Americans can't speak another language, we should never forget how lucky we are that most of us really don't have to.

The place with Internet and the password sign, has a menu, to the right of the Internet sign, which reminds of "biddak bibsi bibsi, wella bibsi seven?". Also the last word on the Internet sign is "cashier" written in Arabic letters just like al thawaq menu!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the free Internet, just like states side. Wish they had these in Dubai.
