From now on, if you’re opposing the gov., and blogging about it, all you have to do is say: El ghada bokra 3enna ya shabab, jeertallah 🙂
If someone dies, you don’t know how so many people knew about it and managed to show up at the funeral prayer in less than an hour. And suddenly, you have two hundred cousins!
Jordanian women are just as beautiful after fifties as they were in their thirties.
We never sit with our feet facing someone’s face. It’s ill manners.

lol, something is really not working right here (I mean, the way the top 50 reasons are supposed to be listed on twitter), because as it stands this moment, the top 50 reasons living in Jordan rocks are actually one reason, which is:
“Filming our #Top50Jo Saturday Jan 30, at Wild Jordan RSVP here: http://twtvite.com/d3fkgo #Top50JoTweetup #twtvite”
Bad use of twitter tags?
