The Jordanian Way of Life
Living expenses are growing by 15-25% per year and salaries are not catching up as fast, Taxes, Gas prices, Food, Smokes, Electricity, Rents, Customs duties, Transportation, Clothing, Groceries, College payments, College supplies, Night life, Phone bills, Internet bills, The upkeep on the a 20 year old car and even DATES now cost a humongous amount of money! Jordan is one of the few places on earth where the citizen calls the policeman "سيدي" (master, lord, your highness) and now the government is going to censor the internet from any content that doesn't match their criteria, I have three active blogs and I have to close them down because i'm not a member at the Jordan Press Association and this blog might be considered as a news site.

A Day in a Jordanian Governmental Department
Last week I went to the Jordanian civil status and passport department to renew my expired Jordanian ID... and what a surprise was waiting for me there ! First, I was up all night so I though to myself I should go there early so i could finish everything quick and be back to my bed before I know it (stupid me) I had to do it anyways.
