I arrived in Amman at 8 pm on Wednesday evening and slept an adequate amount on the plane and in the Paris airport, so when my teacher came to pick me up from the airport, I was more than willing to grab falafel and kinefa my first night in Jordan. I had never tasted anything so delicious as the kinefa I ate that night at Habibti. Melty cheese suggary topping with crumbled pistachios, it was heaven, and I was sad that my stomach was too full from the hummus and falafel sandwich I had earlier to finish it.
I came back home took a shower and crawled into my king size bed to feel the springs through my mattress, ahlan wa sahlan ala amman!
Since being here I've been on a virtual mission to find friends. When I went to Books@Cafe, a recommended spot for Americans seeking other Americans to hang out with, I was intimidated by the large groups of American students who seemed so cohesive and content in their mega-groups. So I returned to the internet and asked Najeh (my teacher) about meeting up with his other group of students at the CIEE.
Things are looking up, InterNations is having an event this Friday afternoon from 11-1 in the souk and in the evening at a club that I might go to. If i don't do that I'm going to J'lm this weekend to see Dan and then when I come back I will be meeting up with people from the other program which will be very exciting.
Looking forward for things to get more exciting and new friends to come.
