The city.

Ok.  So.

Let's start with the city.

Amman is huge.  I don’t car what Ahmed has to say, this place is enormous.  And confusing.  Supposedly its split into jubels (mountains or hills) and duwars (road circles) and you can find anything if you know which one its by.  But I can’t figure out any order to these things. I think the jubels are all in a row, there are 7 circles… IDK, it makes no sense, but I at least am recognizing certain neighborhoods and circles, even if I can’t find them. 

            So cabs and cars.  Driving here is insane.  Crazy.  Terrifying even.  Every time I get in a car, I swear we almost get in an accident. They drive bumper to bumper.  Like closer than you can imagine. And they drive fast then slam on the brakes.  Its so scary. Then honk.  And everything else you can imagine. I actually saw a guy run into another car just while parking and do damage.  It was intense. And I’ve been told almost all cabbies speak English.  Enough you can get around the city.  And there might be like 4 cabbies who don’t.  I have found all 4 of those cabbies.  And their doppelgangers.  The first day, we had trouble getting to school.  Wouldn’t you think, 3 american girls with backacks were obviously looking for the university? Nope.  The word for university and mosque are one long vowel of "A" apart.  Once he figured out where we did want to go, he lectured us on how to pronounce it correctly. Fabulous.  Context clues people!
