Internet in Our Apartment
The Internet in out apartment has been somewhat nonexistant. Most of the time it doesn't work, some of the time it hardly works, none of the time does it completely work. The broken Internet has been a cause of many complaints over the past week. I do not want to whine about it, but rather explain why I have not been diligent in writing. The truth is, I have been very diligent, and have wanted to post much of this writing. Unfortunately, due to the Internet problems, I have not been able to. The truth is that there are many ammenities in Jordan, and that I would readily give up all of these ammenities to have a cooler, more "authentic" Middle-Eastern feel. Suqs not supermarkets. Amman was built in 1950, and it shows. Most of it looks like some part of LA or another, and if not for all the people staring at us because we are westerners, it would feel like it as well. Amman is not exactly what you would expect out of a capital in the Arab world if you were to expect something out of a capital in the Arab world.

I had no clue Amman was so new. How does one build a whole city and make it such a center of life in such a short time?
